**SPOILER ALERT**

If you thought this was a brilliant film, you are probably stupid.

Visually, it was pretty awesome, particularly during the opening scene. The plot, however, contained so many holes and groundless assumptions that I was relatively irritated within the first 20 minutes, and it only got worse.

What the hell made Dr. Shaw believe that the glyphs on the walls were invitations to visit the protohuman planet?

Why did Dr. Holloway come back to life with superhuman strength and a desire to kill his former colleagues? Why did David even want to contaminate Dr. Holloway's drink with that weird alien goop? He didn't have a damn soul!

When an incredibly long, heavy object is falling to the earth from above, why run the length of it instead of simply dodging to the side? After she tripped, Dr. Shaw was able to simply roll out of the way of the protohuman ship as it came crashing down; she could have done that the entire time, and then she would have had longer than 2 minutes of oxygen left by the time she came to.

Speaking of her dodgy survival, how did a fucking rock keep the several-ton ship from falling on top of her? It had no trouble crushing everything else in its path.

Realistically, I sincerely doubt that humans and that abnormally buff, hairless, pale race of whatever would have the exact same DNA makeup.

Okay, so when you see a foreign, mean looking, penis-esque creature springing out of a mysterious black goop in front of you, WHY WOULD YOU TRY TO COZY UP TO IT AS IF IT WAS A BENEVOLENT LITTLE KITTEN!?

I am already too annoyed to continue. Feel free to add to my list of holes, or clear some things up for me that I may just be overlooking.
