    Very disappointing, I was planning to watch it and use it as reference in my dissertation about known alien forms and technology.

    I'm sure the BBC and David Attenborough would have done a much better, more factual job.

    It sickens me that they can't document future alien technologies with complete accuracy. The scene where the android plays the flute to activate the spaceship controls....LAUGHABLE. His fingers blatantly play a pentatonic scale however the sound that comes out is quite clearly heptatonic. How are we meant to use these films as accurate depictions of the future when blunders like this quite frankly make a laughing stock of the entire premise.

    Bah ! Seriously ?

    This just makes me think they just made everything up.

    I'm mortified now.

    I got the same feeling from Prometheus that I got from watching Starwars Episode 1. Then I watched that redletter media thing and I understand why.
