Yes I loved it! We've had so many discussions about the new questions it opens up. Like for example; the moon Prometheus was on is different to the one in alien...and did you notice the mural behind the big head statue? It was of an alien (or looked very similar) so it gets me thinking about where and when the Aliens came about. I do hope they do a film with the engineers to find out exactly what they were up to

When I first came out of the cinema I didnt like it but I cant stop thinking about all the questions I have about it and the more I mull it over the more I want to see it again.
Like what was the green crystal for, why where the engineers angry,
My theory is there is more religious theames then we first think.
I think the cave painting are from key times where the engineers habe picked key figures throughout time to explain everything to them and guide them as leaders(one egyptian painting was dated to the year the pyramids where built anouther is from the tomb lid of a famous myan king)
So these key selected leaders are guided by the engineers to help humans into a new era each time as they evolve.
The head the carbondated was 2000 years old, what other key figure was around 2000 years ago? plus the alien murial in the chamber was in the shape of someone crusified.
I think its something like jesus was picked by the engineers as a leader and they guided him but when he was crucified they became angry about the way humanity was heading with hatred, wars and away from faith.
They where on their way back to punish/destroy us with their weapon (the alien ozze that created the alien) but it went wrong and killed them.
When the engineer woke up hw was angry that humans had survived and had advanced enough to get there and play god by creating synthetic life.
Plus I wonder if others noticed the date the new breed of alien was "born" from shaw was christmas day.
Im not saying jesus was a alien but rather he was choosen to by guided by the engineers that created us in the begining to help advance humans along with other key figures before

I think a fair few people would.
In a recent interview he refered to the enginers as fallen angel types and tjat if you paid attention to the founders (wyland) speach you woyld know why the enginets where angry.
Im sure im his video his last where "we are the gods now" or somthing along those lines

This might sound a bit confusing because I don't know how to word it:
I got really excited about the bit in the film (towards the end) where the engineer gets ready to launch the ship and that chair comes out of the middle and he gets in it with his helmet on, because in the 1st film (I think?) there was that big chair they find with the huge alien in in that didn't look anything like the aliens in the film and was more human looking. And those 2 are pretty much the same which makes me think this was another ship with a different engineer on that landed on the planet to unleash their creation on whatever beings lived there. It's as if ridley scott planned it all along and their were many engineers who went to many different planets and used them like science labs to test the alien species on the beings living there.
Hope that makes sense it got me really excited and really made me feel complete as i've always wondered what that 'man in the chair' was and why they put it in the film.
EDIT: Had a little look on the internet and found this quote;
"It’s fundamentally about going out to find out, who the hell was that Space Jockey?" The guy who was sitting in the chair in the alien vehicle, there was a giant fellow sitting in a seat on what looked to be either a piece of technology or an astronomer’s chair. Remember that?I sat thinking about the franchise, which now has died on the road somewhere way back and lying in the dust, and thought what I should do is go back. In the first "Alien", when John Hurt climbed up and over the top of the rise, there was a massive giant lying in a chair. The chair was either a form of engine or some piece of technology and I always thought no one has ever asked who was the Space Jockey?"
Eeeep i'm so glad they chose to focus on the big guy in the chair. I have ALWAYS wondered about that.
And here is said Space Jockey for reference:

Yeah the space jockey got alot of people excited but the problem I found was in Alien its clearly about 5 times the size of what they make it out to be in prometheus plus in Alien im sure they said about it being a exoskeleton (like a lobster) surely they would have found in Alien about it being a suit like they did in prometheus.
I just find it a little hard to understand the first time you ever encounter a dead alien species you dont examine it enough to know that.
So it kinda seems like a bit of slap dash way to tie the two films in together.

They are ment to be the same creature enginers/space jockies/Mala'kak whatever you want to call them.
Yep its differant planets but the planet in promethues LV223 (also called Proteus in the comics) is the base and LV 426 is just another planet another enginer craft crashed into.
So its not the same planet or same ship but it is the same race.
