I think they could have left it with the alien craft crashing but they left it open for a sequel. My wife pointed out an bit of hole in the script, how did the engineer get from his ship to the "lifeboat"? Held his breath? Also they shoe horned in the "Alien origin" at the end with the engineer / creature hybrid but why then was there an Alien sculpture in the engineer ship?
I thought it was a pretty good prequel overall but a bit too similar to the original Alien story, a fantastic visual spectical in I-Max 3D though. My wife gave it a three word review "That was disturbing".
There is no sin except stupidity.
