And you're probably making the right choice by not seeing it. When I first saw it, I was mildly irritated, but then this irritation just grew into simmering anger and now that I've read about Ridley Scott's intentions in this article: http://collider.com/prometheus-2-sequel/172444 I'm downright furious. I can't handle this amount of stupidity. Quote from Ridley Scott: “We definitely did [have that in the script], and then we thought it was a little too on the nose. But if you look at it as an ‘our children are misbehaving down there’ scenario, there are moments where it looks like we’ve gone out of control, running around with armor and skirts, which of course would be the Roman Empire. And they were given a long run. A thousand years before their disintegration actually started to happen. And you can say, ‘Lets’ send down one more of our emissaries to see if he can stop it. Guess what? They crucified him.’”
THE ROMAN EMPIRE! OUT OF CONTROL! OMG Scott, what kind of dumbass are you? Not only are you offensive to scientists with that shitty movie, but don't mess with historians as well, you'll get fucking burned! And Jesus being an Engineer sent to "stop" the Roman empire makes me want to weep on the millions of dollars that were given to that man to produce this crap. It makes me want to set stuff on fire, including myself. They crucified Jesus the Engineer, so now the Engineers want to destroy humanity with xenomorphs. ... Don't talk out loud, Scott, you're lowering the IQ of the entire planet.
