I forgot to take it off my NF list but quite surprisingly enjoyed it again. Things just seem to snap into focus on the third try. I think one of the bigger quandaries is why the Engineers wanted to annihilate Earth about 2K years ago? This is only for conjecture but perhaps they had seen enough of man's crap or they were disappointed with his "evolution" since they would consider themselves perfect. BUT, maybe they had a feeling for the Jesus character and they projected they would finally lose their god-like status among mankind.
Whatever it was, the last surviving Engineer took after Noomi with a vengeance. They had decided to have a full hate-on of humanity.
Not sure if Ridley has allowed to release their concepts for what the answers really are...anybody know?
