I've got the Blu Ray with the commentary. Its pretty interesting. The original writer said it was supposed to be much more of a direct tie-in to the Alien movies. Then he said they gave the script to Damon Lideloff who changed just about everything to make it more sequel friendly. That's why you have a movie that asks a thousand questions and gives no answers at all. They wanted to drag it out forever like the X-Files or Lost. The writer was none too thrilled about everything getting changed but he was just like "it was my first script for a major movie so I guess this is what happens. Sucks." Pretty good stuff.
