Prometheus is not a Sci-Fi film

I am a scientist. A Nerd. A freak. I love labs and dissections and playing with chemicals and doing stuff with a Bunsen Burner that isn't recommended in the User Manual.

But after watching the film Prometheus I was upset. How can that film possibly be classified as science fiction?! There were so many basic lab protocols that begged to be observed... like for instance when they first found the head of the 'Engineer' in the temple.]
 Firstly, you wouldn't touch it. You don't know what bacteria there are, whether they are harmful, if it has acid for blood, etc. Secondly, they took no pictures, they have no photographic evidence (I don't count video) for proof, no drawings (again, schematics don't count).
Then when rushing to get out of the temple after things happen (I won't say what because I don't want to ruin the plot for those who have yet to see this film), they freeze the head and put it in what I can only describe as a bin bag... ok, freezing I can understand, keeps the sample in a literal frozen state to stop any biological changes.... but why in a non-airtight bag??? HELLO CONTAMINANTS!!!
Not only this, but they still don't know anything about it, leave the sample where it is, its been dead a few years it'll still be dead tomorrow, it won't go anywhere and you don't know how/why it died.
Next is what really pisses me off. YOU DO NOT TAKE AN UNKNOWN CONTAMINANT ONTO A SEALED SHIP. EVER. PERIOD. NO.
No tests, no rules. Lets just take the dead head onto our ship and try to kill ourselves.
So the French woman takes the head onto the ship for dissecting. Yeh, ok. Great move.
And now for my favourite bit, and I really do LOVE this bit. The French bimbo and the Scot decide to sterilize the sample.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAH


If you arent following where I am going with this, keep reading, I will lay it out.

If you sterilize a sample, you basically kill off anything living including bacteria, microbes, most viruses (although I am not a virologist I can't be sure), but you also remove any point of taking dermatological (skin) samples from the head - there is nothing living to look at, its all dead. Not only by sterilizing the sample do you kill off the bacteria, but you also damage nerve cells, muscle cells, brain cells because to sterilize something 90% of the time you have to expose the item to extreme high heat - google an Autoclave, these are used for sterilizing medical equipment. I do believe in the film they use some sort of gaseous chemical, I would assume to poison the bacteria they go by the fact it is probably aerobic and use carbon monoxide/dioxide. This still leaves everything dead - muscles are probably so atrophied (dead) they look like carvings. SO STICKING AN ELECTRICAL CONDUCTOR INTO THE BRAIN WILL NOT MAKE IT MOVE. EVER. ESPECIALLY IF ITS BEEN DEAD THAT LONG. ... except if it is a zombie in which case its virally animated, which is different.

Film carries on, blah blah, dead things move, doors open up, cryogenesis exists, blah blah, everyone dies.

I am so pissed at whoever did the scientific advising on this film, because quite frankly Ridley Scott got mugged. It makes me shocked that they even bothered to call it a sci-fi because it bears no relation TO ANY FORM OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH/ARCHAEOLOGY/GEOLOGY/BIOLOGY/PATHOLOGY OR EVEN STUPIDITY CLAUSE SAFETY. 
The voices and I agree, this was a shitty film, with a barebones story and bad scientific practice. We do not recommend it.
