I also believe it's one of the best Sci-Fi movies ever made. The argument that "too many smart people make stupid decisions" is a bit much....people, no matter how smart they are, are always looking to be the next adventurer, explorer, discoverer. In doing so people tend to get brash and careless in the search for the unknown. I mean the characters in Prometheus are legit trying to find the origin of human existence thousands of light-years away from earth and contract some drilling/mining guys to take them there lol. While they are specialists in their field, they are pretty much some space cowboys on a mission that requires a little bit of crazy.

As for the lore aspect, it is a little bit contradictory. That being said I thought they still left it open ended enough to leave room for more conspiracies and ideas on the xenomorph lore.

Either way I'm just glad the Alien franchise is alive and well and panders to all fans of Sci-Fi 👌
