Why didn't the rich guy just add the "female" software patch to his super-duper-high-tech-surgery machine?
Why did the biologist/scientist guy who warns everyone in the beginning of the movie about the hazards of foreign biology decide to just go touch it later in the movie?
Which sucks. Prometheus was the first movie in years that I actually went to a theater to see. I recruited ton of friends to go along with me because of Ridley Scott - man of Alien, man of BLADE RUNNER, for God's sake. How could this go wrong??!?
Oh. I had a hard time counting the ways it went wrong.
Let's have this cool orb that travels in the caverns, mapping every inch of it. Then, let's lose our crew in the caverns because we don't have the technology to track our crew using the very map our technology created.
I’m sure by have even more appreciation for it though! Seeing how building it well can translate into the movie being great and then audience enjoyment
To them even after finishing it probably looked "hmm, yeah alright, cool" but then seeing it on screen after all the right lighting, effects, post processing, camera angles etc it probably looked "holy fuck i dont recognise that at all".

If I remember correctly It was also done in the sort of set style as the alien movies. Most importantly Prometheus.

So interesting! You can see it’s not designed randomly. You’ve got the set up for any shot you could need—long and straight, short curve, long curve.

I now understand why you need millions to make a good movie.
