| Nov 21, 2012 at 18:54 | comment | added | Shiz Z. | I agree it's more satisfying to have an in-movie answer. But movie content is frequently impacted by logistical concerns. For example, on director's commentaries on DVDs, you'll often hear "we wanted to do X but couldn't because of Y." | |
| Nov 21, 2012 at 7:51 | comment | added | Origin | I'm not gonna downvote as you do have a point but I generally don't like this kind of explanation as you can reduce anything to it: Why did they go to the planet? Because it would be a boring movie if they didn't. Why were the engineers agressive? Because it gives more action on screen. Just my 2 cents | |
