Corrected entry: Just after the Prometheus destroys itself by driving into the alien ship, the alien ship lands on the ground and the ship starts falling onto Elizabeth and Meredith. They start running directly away from the ship as fast as they can, but in exactly the same direction in which it's falling. If they had ran in literally any other direction, they would be perfectly safe within seconds.
Prometheus (2012)
21 corrected entries
Directed by: Ridley Scott
Starring: Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace
Factual error: Carbon dating cannot be used without knowing the amount of C14 in the atmosphere and its evolution in history. Using this method just after arriving at an alien planet is impossible.
Elizabeth Shaw: My God, we were so wrong.
Trivia: Patrick Wilson plays Noomi Rapace's father in the movie, even though in real life he's only six years older than her.
Question: Why would Charlize Theron have a med-pod in her private quarters that operates on male patients? Was that for Weyland?

Correction: There is no way they could have known the ship was going to "roll" in that direction. We only know this in hindsight. The ship could have easily fallen sideways and the direction they ran would have worked out.
