QuoteShaw running around with staples is something that still irks me but everyone involved just says future medicine is really good. lol
She gives herself a painkiller before going into the medpod, the medpod gives her anisthetic, then she gives herself another painkiller as it's cutting the thing out of her. She gives herself another one just before she meets Weyland. She takes some tablets just before putting on her spacesuit.
Winces in pain as she zips it up. Winces in pain just before they leave the ship. Doubles over in pain just before David wakes up the Engineer. Doubles over in pain as she runs out of the Juggernaut bridge. Wincing in pain as she climbs into the lifeboat. Screams in pain when the Engineer falls on her after she releases the trilobite.
She runs around with staples because if she doesn't run, she'll die.
QuoteFinally, the running scene. They were hurt, panicked, on rough terrain with formations intermittently at their sides as well as debris and flaming rubble falling at their sides. They also didn't know the juggernaut was going to roll evenly, it could have fallen to either side as it did later. Mostly though, it's a hollywood convention like Keanu Reeves outrunning a nuclear explosion on his motorbike.
Also, they change direction.
These two nitpicks are addressed within the film.
