RE: You're gonna argue about the genre now? It's sci fi. More specifically, it's the prequel of Alien

It should be pointed out that Dr. Shaw's theories about the Engineers were wrong, which means Weyland's explanation to the crew at the beginning was also wrong.

As Dr, Elizabeth Shaw says to Weyland towards the end of the movie,

"But you don't understand. You don't know. This place isn't what we thought it was. They aren't what we thought they were. I was wrong. We were so wrong. Charlie, Dr. Holloway's dead. We must leave."

I still maintain, she was wrong about the intensions of the Last Engineer. I think Ridley uses the character of Dr. Shaw to show how beliefs can flip flop back and forth based on the latest evidence. But I don't think Dr. Shaw ever gets the entire truth, she only gets little bits of it.
