Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread
I've heard there will be time travel in the film. A few plot points, DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE FULL STORY:
After seeing the trailer the only thing that doesn't fit is the final scene.
I'm wondering if we'll have some sort of time travel in this...
After all, Dallas (or Kane) said the Space Jockey looked fossilized, like it'd been there for thousands or years (should be millions of years if it was fossilized, but that's beside the point).
I've heard there will be time travel in the film. A few plot points, DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE FULL STORY:
1. Film opens with the beginning of our world.
2. Our planet is being terraformed and bioformed by seemingly all-powerful, Godlike alien entities.
3. The prehistoric ruins of the alien's citadel is discovered in Africa, around 2085.
4. In 2090, a Interstellar Research Vessel called PROMETHEUS decelerates as it reaches its target solar system.
5. Prometheus encounters a massive disturbance which hadn’t appeared on scanners, one even more powerful than a black hole. The ship is sucked into the wormhole.
6. After landing on a nearby planetoid, the crew sets out to repair the Prometheus, while Elizabeth Shaw leads a recon expedition. Shaw’s team encounters a temple and inside is a biomechanical humanoid face set within a towering pillar, as well as thousands of seemingly primitive URNS. David takes several of the urns back to the vessel for analysis.
7. Investigating the urns, David discovers that they contain the genetic material for thousands of species within a viscous liquid, which can rewrite any living organism on a cellular level. Possession of the substance gives its owner the power to create life. Vickers interacts with David and seemingly innocently leads to the Bioformer infecting David through a cut in his finger.
8. Subsequently, the crew of the Prometheus begins to fall victim to the now weaponized substance, as Holloway injects many crew members.
9. David finds that the Bioformer is making him into a biological beind, making him human. The crew also finds that their trip through the wormhole took them back hundreds of millions of years and they are actually stranded on primordial Earth.
10. Meredith Vickers is the REAL villain of the story!
11. Elizabeth and David confront the Godlike alien entities in the temple. They prove to be utterly evil, and David sacrifices himself. The former android David, it turns out, is the basis for all Mankind.
12. Shaw makes it to her escape vessel which blasts off for the wormhole. A PILOT detaches from the temple in a FAMILIAR VESSEL and follows Shaw, but is lost in the wormhole.
13.In the final scene, we see the vessel that was chasing Shaw emerge from the wormhole, still in the prehistoric past, and crash on a nearby planetoid.
