I hear ya. I think the film itself reveals what it could have been. It's a teaser film. It asks questions, and says 'imagine this', and then doesn't go there, all the while you know they could have. Nobody wants to wally in expectation for a whole 2-hour theatre film. It isn't a TV soup opera.
Prometheus could have gone to the world of the Alien creators, answered all the questions the film asks, and if that was done well, the mind would create a million more concepts & stories for a "Prometheus 2", and created quadruple the number of audience members for both films. Film history confirms that's how it works (ex: Alien/Aliens). How do these poor decisions get made?
