Didn't she said at the beginning, if the Engineers created humans, who created the Engineers?

so what she believe in?Engineers?God?Jesus?or herself?

or I should say she believe in God,cause God create Enginner
*
Yeah I'm guessing it's like that,

Or it could be like this, remember that dream with her father?
when her father said that his God is diffrent from those people's God at the funeral, and when asked why, his father said something like "Because it's what I choose to believe"
That's what Elle does, through out the movie, Elle was probably still in doubt, like 50/50 whether or not her Christian God is real or not,
but after seeing all those bad things the engineer did, wanting to destroy Earth, killing people and all, she just came to conclusion that these Engineers can't be her creator/god, so in the end she said sorry to God for ever distrusting God as creator, because that's what she chooses to believe.

but that's just my theory though

Is this the soundtrack that everyone say doesn't fit with the scene it's used with?

Question: Why did David deliberately mixed Holloway's drink with that black       liquid? Was it Weyland's orders to test the effects of the liquid on human life form?

Question: Why the whole idea of create mankind and then destroying them?
*
Yep could be because it was Weyland's orders,
another reason could be because when David asked Holloway, "How far would you go to understand your creators?", and Holloway replies "All the way"(something like that can't remember precisely), so David took it that Holloway was willing to do anything, so he decides to give him that drink as a first step for him to find out more about his creators(Engineers).

BTW you guys should read some of the stuffs here:

Lots of good theories there.

Watched it a second time, this time in IMAX 3D.

Btw, the 3D is useless. Given a choice of IMAX 3D or IMAX 2D, I'll go for the latter every time.

I wonder if they'll be showing The Dark Knight Rises in IMAX 2D or not there hmm.gif

They most certainly have to. laugh.gif There are no 3D options and the film is going to steamroll the box office this season.

Had they shown 2D film at the TGV IMAX?
If I recall correctly all the movies that they've shown there is 3d right?

Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol has been in 2D. Given the option between 2D and 3D, TGV will almost certainly show the 3D option but for The Dark Knight Rises, there isn't much of a choice.

Ok, thanks for the info smile.gif

Got a few unanswered question...
1) Is there a dotted connection between prometheus and Alien movie?
The only dot I can see is that the alien creature is through a combination of a stuff that David drop in the drink, and the guy make xxx with the gal, and the gal remove the octopus, and octopus make xxx with the engineer, and alien is born  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

2) Why does the engineer want to destroy earth?

3) What is the cylinder stuff? The one David took to the ship

4) For the 2 guy that was trap in the pyramid. They were kill by a worm type creature. Is it the worm mix with the special type of liquid and evolved as a gigantic worm creature?

5) What kill the engineers in the pyramid?

Anybody got any idea???

dont dare to read all the previous pages, scare got spoilers.

just wanna know 2 things

1) is it worth to watch in 3D?
2) is the movie good to watch, as frightening or action pack like alien/aliens?
*
1) Yes, but only on IMAX 3D. I still haven't watch it on normal 3D

2) Yes there are a few frightening scene, but it's not action pack like Aliens, and don't expect it to be so much similar to the first Alien movie.
Only the ending part feels a bit similar to the first Alien. smile.gif The film got lots of vibes from the 1st Alien.

what the heck did David say to the surviving Engineer?
*
Yup, that's what of the biggest question of the movie, did David said exactly as what Weyland asked him too? or did he said something else? and did the Engineer even understands what David said?
Could it be what David had said is the reason why the Engineer gone crazy and started slaughtering them?
Because if you notice, at first the Engineer was pretty calm, and kinda touch David's head like he was his son, then suddenly he got really mad and ripped off David's head.
There's theories saying that at first The Engineer thought that David was his ancestor's creation(humans), and touches him, but then realized that David is NOT his ancestor's creation, and ripped David's head off in anger and decides to punish humans for this abomination (David, the android).

But since David is still alive there's chance he'll tell us what he said, in the sequel maybe tongue.gif

IMAX, meaning Pyramid TGV huh.

ok ok, then i'll proceed to watch this movie with no expectation on actions smile.gif. thanks for the feedback.

Yep, the one at Pyramid TGV, RM26 well spent biggrin.gif
But don't really expect too much of those pop-out 3D effects, there are some of those in the movie but not many. It's more about clarity, depth and perception kind of 3D smile.gif

I remember watching MI:IV 2D at TGV IMAX though, and the picture clarity wasn't up to par. Prometheus 3D was crystal though. Perhaps they don't properly align the two projectors for 2D movies.

What's the price for IMAX 2D at TGV?
