'Oblivion' - who knew a passable recent Tom Cruise film existed.

Hell is plot hole insanity?  :D

I don't know any major religions that believe we were created by aliens.

Scientology and Mormonism :contract:
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

What's wrong with a movie about cavalry?  Sounds exciting.
Quote"This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed & unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you'll be bombed."

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

Do you believe Prometheus tries to adhere to the theology of one of those?
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

i don't agree with viper,* but "religion" doesn't have to refer to a specific theology. one can be religious and believe aliens created man. there's no inconsistency.

*discussion of religion on a superficial level doesn't make the movie "pro-ID religious crap"

The movie is about as religious as the steaming turd it emulates.

I dunno if I'd call Prometheus definitively pro-ID--though the Engineers' creation of life and standing in for God was certainly intended to have that resonance--but its treatment of its theme of faith vs. science is juvenile and boring.  That's the terrible part.  (And it's why Mission to Mars, despite having much the same premise, succeeds, since it's not as heavy-handed nor half as stupid--though it is stupid.)
