What did you think of Prometheus (Warning MAJOR SPOILERS) if you have not seen the movie you may want to skip
this for now.....

Prometheus has a very dense “Religious & Mythological “ subtext, but is so ambiguous in execution
That it is only obvious in post analysis of the movie.

What we get instead of a solid narrative & characterization is just symbolism, to me that is just lazy writing.

At first viewing there are a lot of story beats that make no sense in the overall plot, but in review
The symbolism helps flesh out the meaning & actions of some of the characters in the movie.

For example the planet the mission goes to is “LV 223”
From the Bible, Leviticus 22:3

"Say to them: 'For the generations to come, if any of your descendants is ceremonially unclean and yet comes near the sacred offerings that the Israelites consecrate to the LORD, that person must be cut off from my presence. I am the LORD.”

Now we have an idea of the motivations of the Alien “Engineers” the team discovers
And the sole alien survivor’s hostility towards Humans.

Ridley Scott has been quoted to a major plot point that was to be used, but does not show up in any obvious context in the movie “Jesus was an Alien” I guess they lost their nerve in making it an actual plot point instead of burying it in symbolism.

A main plot point made in the movie, something happened to the Alien Engineers on LV223
2000 years prior to the Prometheus Team landing, that caused the death of all but one Alien, What happened at that time in Earth history, The crucifixion of Christ of course, So if Christ was an Emissary of the Aliens, How do you think they may react?

The Alien “Engineer” depicted in the opening of the movie is literally “Prometheus/God”
The creator of man who is punished by the other Gods, because he gave Fire to Man.

MAJOR SPOLIER: The main character Elisabeth Shaw can’t have children but is impregnated
By her Scientist/Boyfriend who unknowingly has become infected with the Alien DNA changing Virus
On December 25th Christmas, Now to the Bible:

'And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.'

A barren woman called Elizabeth, made pregnant by 'God'?

So a movie about our creators being Aliens, We show our appreciation by killing their emissary “Jesus”
And their retribution by unleashing the perfect killing organism.

Sorry about all the religious content but I am just shining a little light on some of the less obvious plot points.
