If you don't think Prometheus is a whodunit you must have watched a different movie.

I contend that Prometheus IS a whodunnit, like Chinatown. You know, as in who or what ekilled the Engineers? Why did the Sacrificial dude in the opening scene drink the black liquid? Why did David spike Holloway's drink and kill him? Why did the last Engineer go crazy and Kill some of the humans and rip David's head off and use it to kill Weyland with it? What was the real purpose of the Prometheus mission? If you don't consider Prometheus a mystery I suggest YOU should be the one to watch the movie again. Prometheus, if nothing else, is the epitome of a mystery. Why, it's almost like you must have watched a completely different movie.

Prometheus is also, like Chinatown, a classic case of misdirection, unreliable narration, and a movie that doesn't pamper the audience by explaining every goddamn little thing.

If you wish to find an example of science fiction film noir one need look no further than Blade Runner, uh, by Ridley Scott.
