I'm quite fond of the film Ladyhawke and the original 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' also. I will question you about the film 'Prometheus'. I would claim the message of the film is subliminal. Only our unconscious mind is supposed to understand it. The human-aliens do have reasons behind their action. They want to kill us/destroy earth because they are afraid of us. There is quite an emphasis on this in the film. Specifically the lines, 'Doesn't everyone want to kill their parents'? and also the lady telling her aging father 'just die'. this cannot be a coincidence, being this film is about us meeting our parents, so to speak. No doubt the film-makers were successful in their subliminal messaging (there are many reasons in this world we have to be afraid), but i would agree with you, the film itself wasn't that good.
