A: Of course it's worth it! It is suitable for sci-fi fans and people who like to reason to the point. Those who are looking forward to modern Hong Kong-style, Korean-style, and Chinese-style horror/science fiction films should be cautious.
2. Why is the film called Prometheus?
A: Many film critics have said, not only the name of the spaceship (exploring the origin of human beings), but also the rich and handsome Zentraedi who incarnates trillions at the top of the waterfall at the beginning of the film. Personally, I think that Prometheus actually refers to an organization or a group of people who share a common belief among the Zentraedi people. The eldest brother in the opening scene created human beings, but when the Zentraedi was about to destroy the earth, why did not a single spaceship fly out of several bases on the entire planet? From the film, they were all given seconds by the aliens. Of course, it will not be the earth's shit. On the eve of the launch of the Zentraedi base, an accidental, bloody production accident occurred, which led to the end of the game. Obviously, the Zentraedi can't completely control their big killer, but because of this, they will definitely control it strictly and have certain means of protection. Judging from the end of the film, the launch of the spacecraft is a matter of minutes for one person, and there is no way that even a spacecraft can't fly out. Obviously, a group of people organized and premeditated terrorist activities, organized a large number of aliens to cultivate and organized, and abolished all bases. This organization, Prometheus, not only created human beings, but also saved human beings and left fire (hope) for the people of the earth.
3. Since everyone has the same genes, why are Zentraedi people tall and strong, and we are short and weak?
A: The Zenith star has prepared it with black sesame paste! Of course, it's not directly drinking canned black sesame paste, but it must have something to do with it. It can be seen from the film that the black sesame paste will make the biological body highly evolved and become a combat weapon. Zentraedi were originally exactly the same as Earth people, but they discovered/invented black sesame paste, developed a super biological civilization from it, and used it for human beings themselves. After the modulation, the Zentraedi has greatly improved in terms of physical strength, intelligence, will, and efficiency, and has become the top civilization in the universe. For example, at the end of the film, when the Zentraedi man fought against the weak humans, he didn't talk nonsense, he wasn't arrogant, he wasn't embarrassed. (Humans are really insidious), although obviously lost, the incident happened suddenly, but still very calm, fighting desperately. Totally a perfect fighter. This also shows that there is a conspiracy to destroy the base, otherwise this group of fierce people will not be linked by a few unexpected events.
4. Why create human beings?
Then 3. The modulation gave the Zentraedi a lot of things, but at the same time they lost something very important. This thing is so important that some of them firmly believe that the Zentraedi has embarked on a wrong evolutionary path, which will eventually lead to extinction, and must give up the modulation and return to the original. However, they want this kind of idea to be absolutely non-mainstream among the Zentraedi people. At this time, the Zentraedi people are strong and strong, they think they master the mysteries of life, they claim to be gods, how can they accept this kind of reactionary thinking. So some people began to secretly plan. The person who drinks the medicine at the beginning of the film, although he is also very strong, has a melancholy prophetic temperament, which is completely different from the warrior at the end of the film. He was the forerunner of this group. He came to the earth with the Zentraedi scientific research team, but he took off his exoskeleton protective suit, carried prohibited items, and quietly sneaked into the earth alone, looking for a beautiful and magnificent source of water. He was so disillusioned with the race's choice on the evolutionary path, so anxious and responsible for the future of the race, that he would rather feed on himself to create humanity. I believe that with their technology, destroying oneself is not the only way to create human beings. Yet he did. In their view, they are the kind of fire that preserves civilization for the Zentraedi. They are also Prometheus of Zentraedi.
5. Why destroy humanity again?
In the early days of human civilization, Zentraedi discovered this species. This is not surprising, the earth is originally the back garden of the colonized star, and it is strange that it is not discovered. But it must have caused a collective shock to the Zentraedi at the time. So the Autobots among the Zentraedi asked to turn human beings into a cherished and protected species, and the Decepticons also decided to play around with it. Nothing is more pleasing than having the same kind respect you as a creator and a god. So they began to lead human beings, and set up a "five-star base" to communicate with human beings, leaving a star mark. Soon, however, the Zentraedi backtracked. They began to think that humanity must be destroyed. This view was widely accepted, and even most of the Autobots began to support it, so the Prometheus began to go underground again. The reason is of course not because there are handsome men and beauties in human beings who play with the feelings of Zentraedi people. This racial confrontation goes far beyond hatred, or even any kind of emotion, and becomes a belief. This belief made them change from gods to demons, and they would rather risk backlash against themselves, and would rather destroy the entire earth, but also human beings. It is clear that there is something about humans that scares them, makes them jealous, and ultimately humans cannot be controlled by them, humans also cause disharmony within them. In the film, the biochemical man David is created to let us, as human beings, experience the feelings of Zentraedi. David is immortal, and his IQ and various abilities far exceed those of human beings. However, he has an autonomous will, and even said that "every child wants their parents to die." Although he obeys the "father"'s orders, he has shown that he does not care about the purpose. Hesitant to harm, exploit other humans. Just imagine, how would you feel when you were faced with such a new, uncontrollable species that could replace you?
The specific characteristics that caused Zentraedi people to be envious, jealous, and hateful did not say, but one thing was revealed in the film: faith. In the film, Pi always said that David is perfect, but people can be proud that we have souls. The film is also interspersed with scenes about faith more than once. Especially after David was decapitated, Doc Shaw didn't forget to look for the cross in a critical moment. Her conversation with David was so abrupt at the moment. David said, you already know that it is not the almighty Father who created man, but only a more advanced race, and even their own genes are the same as yours. Why do you still have faith? Doc Shaw said: So what created the Zentraedi? This is a bit weird. Explain that this is belief, not logic. True belief is something you hold fast without argument. And it is these illogical things that drive mankind to explore at all costs, perhaps this is endless growth.
