David is our point of entry. He's the first character we meet, and we feel attached to him in a way we never were to Ash. Let's face it, Ash was creepy from the start. Here, we feel David's wounds whenever he is treated as less than human (which also, morally, kinda frees him to do what he wants to the crew).

More on that, David actually tries to endear himself to the crew, and tries his best to put them at ease. Like when he wears the helmet when he goes out...obviously he doesn't need them because he doesn't need to breathe, but he does it anyway to make everyone else feel more comfortable.

Now, that could also be seen as another way for him to gain the trust of the crew which would, in turn, allow him to experiment on them as necessary.

I enjoyed the movie pretty good. Was it Alien or pt2? Nah. But it was fun and it made me think. I wasn't wanting to check my phone (not that I do that, jus sayin) because I felt that if I did I might be lost. Something key could happen at any point of the film that could effect what the concept was. There were also quite a few tense scenes. 1. If I get married, I'm not watching my wife have the baby from the front. I've seen enough of a birth as I want now. 2. I love Ridley Scott. He's yet to make a movie were I don't feel like the time period was wrong or not well put together, especially with the sci-fi's. Or as the kids say, scy fy. I wasn't disappointed at all.

I'd humbly take the other side on David. Even in the helmet scene, he says "because it makes YOU people feel more comfortable". Which kind of sums up his attitude throughout. He's always throwing passive aggressive barbs out towards faith, and general human fallabilities, not to mention spying on dreams. And there's that whole slipping a goo mickey thing.

He still loves his dad though.
