The New Title of the Movie should be: Paradise Lost

simple, tasteful, and very telling.

@Sentinel
My apologies, I did not realize you had suggested that name before. You should take all the credit then. I am sure I read it in the discussions then and it stuck.

@patch kat. Hey, no biggie, I don't see it that way. I knew I wasn't the only one thinking of that title. I just wanted to chime yeah I think you're right and I thought of it too (to add my vote). This movie takes on a very very big subject and deserves something as big as 'Paradise Lost'
... On the other hand...
Some people think this movie is a joke... I can't blame them considering those 2 jokers that deserved death and the lack of emotional attachment we felt at Janik and his crews sacrifice. The how the heck is Shaw running around after major surgery and why the hell don't they act serious or stoked about first contact? Also, I think a lot of people like me were going into this movie knowing that after every Alien movie there is satisfactory closure. That was SO not the case here.
Other than that Ridley made one of the best Sci-Fi movies I've seen in years. I buy maybe one favorite movie per year and this one is definitely going to be this years movie. It comes at us seemingly pretenscious but for me they pull it off. This is not a bunch of cheesy symbolism, someone used their brain so we could use our brain (except for the guy petting the snake)

There have been many movies and TV shows called that mostly I think because it's such a great title

And a rather excellent British rock band are called Paradise Lost too

what about [b]Paradise Recovered[/b], that's if they can pull the Lindelof-mess out of the Prometheus mire.
2013 sci-fi horror novels 'Custodian' and 'Tandem' available from Amazon, B&N, iTunes etc...

Engineering, I love your ideas for Paradise. Each movie could be looking into a different mythology that plays with the themes of Creation of Man. First was Prometheus, who sacrificed himself to progress evolution. Then Paradise would be relative to the Garden and explore Adam and Eve. (Except instead of Adam, it's a psychotic robot without a soul that has no emotions but is still curious enough to accidentally kill off all but one of the crew of a spaceship and create a new breed of alien monster, and instead of Eve, it's an infertile scientist who gave birth to an alien squid monster. Lots of alien monsters.) I wonder what myth the third one will touch? Remembering Battlestar Galactica, science fiction is a great genre to explore these kinds of religious topics that would probably be untouchable in any other genre.

I just found some hope for your 'Paradise Lost' title.
