The thing that killed Prometheus was entirely the script. Set design? Great. CGI? Great. Acting? Great.
But when everyone character acts exactly opposite of what their chosen profession was, I can only come to the conclusion that Ridley Scott has a deep disrespect for Scientists.
The Geologist/Cave Mapper got lost. The Archeologist contaminated the site. The Biologist didn’t recognize a treat response. The Anthropologist couldn’t separate her work from her religious beliefs. I can see the subtext that Scott was going for and I disagree with it.
