Bottom line, All the subtext still does not make a satisfying story
now if you have a solid narrative you can throw as much subtext into a movie
and still be engaged.

Damon Lindelof writer of Prometheus & the TV show "Lost"
did the same thing on Lost, he filled the show with so much symbolism, Myth & Sci Fi subtext
that had nothing really to do with the over all plot by the end of the show it ended up making no real sense what so ever.

But what Prometheus did do so well (And to be fair to the movie) was in the production end, The Cinematography, Art Design
& staging of the movie is absolutely gorgeous, It is one of the best looking movies in years.

But if your going to make a movie about Alien Gods & Alien Jesus, Have some balls & go for it, big time
Otherwise you end up with a weak story like this.

John "The Day the Earth stood still" did it right, Love that movie!
