    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Composer Marc Streitenfeld had the orchestra play his compositions backwards, and then digitally reversed the compositions for the final film. This made the music sound unusual and unsettling, which he felt was right for the film.
    • Goofs
      A CO2 concentration of 3% in the atmosphere is still not a lethal amount for human beings. Only after 5% does it become toxic. However, Ford actually states that the CO2 levels are *over* 3%, suggesting that was the minimum amount the preliminary sensors had detected.
    • Quotes

      David: Big things have small beginnings.

    • Crazy credits
      There is a statement at the end of the closing credits: "Previous Footage Property of Weyland Corp. Building Better Worlds Since 10.11.12. weylandindustries.com/timeline"
    • Alternate versions
      The film's 70mm and Digital IMAX 3D release was presented open-matte, at an aspect ratio of 1.90:1, meaning more information was in the frame for the entire film.

    Random and Confused
    Most of what I would say has already been said. I especially agree with the fact that a crew trained in intergalactic travel probably couldn't tie their own shoes. They do so many stupid thing that could have terminated the voyage in a heartbeat. There is no caution, no restraint. I'm not sure we are ever very clear on the mission itself. And what's in it for some of these guys? By the way, did it seem odd that a guy is wearing glasses when this voyage was made?
