I'm guessing it was because David said something hostile. That is the burning question, what did David say to the Engineer? It could have changed the entire sequence of events.
My biggest problem with the movie is one scene:The two guys who are initially "scared" and wanted to go back to the ship are the ones left in the caves overnight. ...

I believe he told the Engineer exactly what Weyland told him to say. He was obedient to his creator. That's why he refused to tell anyone what he was doing when he was following Weyland's commands and no one else knew Weyland was aboard.
Utterly horrid cheating waste of film. The writing was just abysmal. Continuity... So disappointed.:hmm:
However what they call Imax these days is kinda disappointing. Imax back in the day was a huge dome that was absolutely ginormous where you'd watch Animal shows that were filmed with an Imax fisheye camera. Today it's just a bigger rectangular screen and not by much. YMMV.
I don't think so.I'm guessing it was because David said something hostile. That is the burning question, what did David say to the Engineer? It could have changed the entire sequence of events.That's most definitely what happens, you can see that David has emotions and that he seems to resent humans, most likely for thinking they are better than him, ...
... he also points towards wanting us dead when he says to Shaw "doesn't every child want to see their parents dead." So he most likely tells the Space jockey that they are here to exterminate them, or something along those lines, which is why he all of a sudden flips out and kills them all.
It's still not out of the realm of belief that David could have said something hostile to the Engineer. It's possible that David has free will now since it's unlikely his programming would have him kill a human unprovoked, and disobey direct commands from his superiors (Theron). The fact that he wanted to kill his parents (humans) could also include Weyland (who refers to him as his son). Getting back to the Engineer wouldn't be possible (without arousing suspicion) without Weyland's trip; it serves as the perfect mechanism to destroy his "parents" and could have all been part of his plan.
Well I guess this is a spoiler thread now. I came in here to read more reviews of the movie and it's not any more. Someone needs to change the title to include spoilers.
Also, how did Stringer Bell escape the Barksdale organisation and become a spaceship captain?
saw in imax last night. no black bars. kick ass 3d and I've not been a huge fan of the new 3d. They did it right here though. Everything looked so crisp, and instead of stuff popping out at you (which most movies are trying to do with this new 3d), the characters in the movie just seemed to have more dimension to them. It was bad ass in my book
I think he's obedient to his creator, Mr. Weyland. Wasn't his line ("doesn't everyone want to kill their parents?") spoken to Vickers, Weyland's daughter, not to Shaw? It seemed that Vickers wanted Weyland to die and give up his power / control.

By disobeying Vickers' authority, David was following the orders of a higher-up superior (Weyland).
Maybe I missed the part where he kills a human unprovoked. I'm pretty sure Weyland told David to test the black fluid on the guy that he infected.
...and that's basically the way I see it.I think David is much like all the other androids in the series. He's just following programming/orders. I do believe Weyland told him to test the ooze on someone, thus the question "how far would you go to meet your maker?" He gave Halloway an out, but he took it hook line and sinker when he said "I'd do anything".
I think the maniacal sense that people are getting about David is simply the lack of emotion and trying to tie it to emotion that isn't there. He says what he thinks and is told, and that is all. I think what he said to the engineer was what Weyland told him to. I think the engineers reaction was one of pity and anger and rejection.
If I recall correctly, there's a hard cut after that scene. I assume she told them everything.There really is a plot hole with David and Shaw. There was a line he says right after Shaw does the C-section, "You're much more resourceful than I gave you credit for". Shouldn't she have said something to everyone else standing around in that room about what had just transpired?

Anyway, at the end, when they take off with the engineer ship to go to their planet, how long is the trip going to take? Won't she need food, water, restrooms and anything else necessary for life. What will she do once there? Deliver the cargo of WMD?
Why did the engineer race completely abandoned any further attempt to destroy earth after the initial failure?
It's consistent with the first Alien movie. In the first Alien movie, the creature grows and changes forms before consuming anything. Xenomorphs must be able to convert the air into solid material somehow. I imagine it would take a huge volume of air to make a tiny amount of solid material.How did the aborted alien grow? What did it feed on? As I understand the story it was abandoned and locked up in a sterile room.
I am just having fun here, I loved the movie.
