It was a great read.

Spoiler!

Overall I loved the movie.. and love how they left it open ended so people can use their brains a bit and figure stuff out.

- opening scene where the engineer sacrifices to being human life. When he falls into the water his DNA gets destroyed and replaced by the Human red DNA.. very cool scene.

- LV-223 in my opinion was a 'fail-safe' by the engineers to keep us in check. When we were smart enough to design space travel, and found the star map to LV-223, it was time for us to perish. The plan was for them to use the xenomorph DNA changer goo to wipe us out as we tried to learn about the temples. Shit got crazy for the engineers and they got infected before they could get to their cryo-chambers.

The skull on the temple dictates its a death-trap, and the changing mural seemed to trigger the 'storm' which was meant to trap them inside.

Kind of like on of those Raid Ant traps you buy. Ants walk in.. they dont walk out.

Just my $.02
