The only engineer that survived the 2000 year deep sleep, stands up, feels like ripping somebody's head off. Which accidentally happens to be an android and feels like crashing into Earth. What about the other donut space ships?

But what about the motivations of the android? Why does he bring the goo onboard the ship? Why does he purposely infect the humans? Isn't that a violation of the 3 laws of robotics? Why would he perform such a dangerous experiment?

As I said one of his main orders was to research the technology, this was done for the purpose of extending his creator's life, it was also his job to get as much information as he could about the station that could give hims some idea about the Mala'kak. You say the laws like you think it has to follow such laws, have you seen Alien, that was a later model and had no problems with the idea of sacrificing human lives for securing it's goals, it was designed and made by Weyland and was trusted to follow orders exactly.

Well, he did ask Holloway how far he was willing to go to find answers. Holloway said he was willing to do anything and everything. With this sly Q&A I think David lined things up with his own ethical code.

You're quite right, I'd forgotten the android in alien. But this was a prequel of sorts, so I guess androids not hurting humans had already been thrown out the window.

It's just that the movie seems choppy to me. Like there were parts missing that would better explain why he was exposing the crew to something so dangerous.

Yeah its pretty obvious.

The problem is it should of been a 3-4 hour long movie. However budget constraints, made it much shorter.

I was in the cinema for this film was generally curious, 3D effects were good too, but I feel like I had a Deja Vu, some scenes seem vaguely familiar, a bit like watching a remake of Alien

That's because it was meant as a prequel to alien.

As for the movie, i thought it was terrible... Typical of a space exploration movie and completely predictable.
