Yeah, pretty much. I've no idea how he's had such longevity.

While a novel concept, I have a huge problem with the idea of Jesus-as-Engineer. It could work were it not for the "fact" that Jesus was not an eight-foot tall heavily-muscled totally bald albino.

Also, re Prometheus, this.

I'm hating the movie more and more, but I'm glad I enjoyed the first hour and 45 minutes of it - and it IS beautiful to look at, with some fun bits that, alas, make absolutely no freaking sense.

Spoiler:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall no evidence that the Engineers could shape-change. They seem fond of exoskeletal armor, but that only makes them look bigger and less human.

I don't think it makes sense for them to have such drastically larger bodies and super strength, if they are in fact 100% genetically identical to us! (They did say it was a perfect match, yes?)


This movie is generating more discussion than many a better summer flick, anyway. (Even if a lot of it is sounding like post-Phantom Menace malaise.)

I'm happy to hate the movie based on what I saw on the screen, but if it turns out
Spoiler:
the Engineers want to wipe out humankind because we killed Jesus

I haven't seen the movie, but it sounds like it could lend some plausibility to the virgin birth.
