You're gonna argue about the genre now? It's sci fi. More specifically, it's the prequel of Alien

You've already said you think it has some relation to Chinatown. I already told you it doesn't. I don't want to have that conversation again.

>>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? <<

Because of the nature of technology and creation. It is "human nature" to become repulsed by one's own creation. The engineers clearly were repulsed by theirs, and when that creation itself began its own creations, technologically manifest as David, the engineer was driven to violence. I have already discussed this in previous threads on the forum.

>> What was the real purpose of the Prometheus mission? <<

Weyland already made it perfectly clear: he wanted to learn from the engineers how to prolong his life. This is not a mystery.

>> If you don't consider Prometheus a mystery I suggest YOU should be the one to watch the movie again. <<

I have watched it at least 10 times on blu-ray and once in the theater. How many times would you like me to watch it? How many times have you watched it?

>> 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 a Greek myth about a titan. The film by Scott is a sci fi, not a mystery. You will find it designated as sci fi, not as a mystery. Sci fi provides a genre for storytellers to comment on the human condition. It's confusing and requires rather deep thought, so it may seem like a mystery to you indeed.
