Extraordinary visuals, storyline, theme, and imagination👍👍👍I think the character of David is almost satanic. After seeing this film about seven times, I picked up on a detail that I had completely missed. David, the android, brings a container full of deadly embryos onto the ship. In the next scene, he is serving Elizabeth Shaw's husband a schooner of champagne. That hapless gentleman retires to his cabin, makes love to Elizabeth, then wakes up the next morning with a scary eye infection. That same night, he dies horribly, and Elizabeth discovers that she has been impregnated with an alien embryo. The conclusion is unmistakable. David, the robot. deliberately infected them. Why, none can only guess.

A worthy effort, but hopelessly unfocused and incoherent. Senseless and brutal violence dominated throughout. There was really no clear storytelling and too many divergent plot L. ines. "Dances with Wolves" was infinitely better. So is "Yellowstone"!
