I think people disliked it for two reasons. 1) It didn't hold your hand and explain everything, so people who dislike filling in the gaps for themselves hated the movie. 2) It wasn't explicitly against religion or the concept of God, which is a theme that occurred throughout the film. Especially since Shaw is a Christian. To a lot of neckbeards on CE, that means the film is trash. The film handled the religion aspect quite well. There is the scene, after meeting the Engineers, where David asks Shaw why she'd still wear the crucifix when she just learned her creator was another mortal race. Her response, perfectly, was "well who created them?" I think the takeaway is that science and religion don't necessarily need to be in conflict. Even as we gain new information that completely changes out view of the universe, there will always be unknowns that science can't answer (perhaps yet, perhaps ever). Faith can certainly fit into that void. Yeah, and that's why a bunch of keyboard warriors hated it lol <cite>QuantumScript posted [p:878016228] in "A ne...
