Prometheus

[Lumenskir]

Apart the the fact that they go into the cockpit and confront the Engineer with those exact big questions? The big questions are most certainly kept at the front and centre of the plot. The questions should have been dropped as soon as they found their co-worker dead and begun to realise that this was now a battle for survival.

Ok, maybe it's just a difference of opinion on what they were trying to get across, but the whole confrontation lasted like, a minute, and was dealt with even quicker? And I don't really think Shaw going "Why are you going to kill all of us!" counts as a 'big question'.

I mean, once David doses Holloway they sort of sideline all of the non-Weyland concerns in place of killing zombies and escaping death. It never really slows down for any length of time to ponder.
