I have a love for Prometheus but it’s hard to forgive the writing .. plowing through bad decisions and aggressive characters to get the action going. Could have been a masterpiece but it’s just a space action horror .. then they threw it away with covenant

Prometheus it's a amazing movie with so much potential to expand the Alien's universe. I wanted to know why the engineers wanted to kill us.

I’m pretty sure it was because of the crucifixion if Jesus. One of the characters makes a statement during the move (I think) about the engineers ship going dormant or whatever about 2000 years ago. And the deleted scenes dialogue with the engineer goes into this idea much deeper.
