13: Amazing Recovery
Having a Cesarian section is a very traumatic event to go through, both physically and mentally. So it was amusing to see Shaw have the procedure and then get up and run around like she just had a plaster put over a cut. Putting aside the metal trauma, the physical damage to the body should have meant that she was keeled over and unable to move. According to BabyCenter.co.uk, after a Cesarian, the following is how you will feel after a c-section; ''Just to make small movements, such as shifting up the bed, you'll probably need something or someone to hold onto. It will hurt to cough or laugh.'' It's moments like this that completely removed me from the film. The scene was written to compete with the chest-bursting scene in Alien. Obviously they could not top that because the shock factor has gone, so they tried to take it up a notch and introduce elements like self-abortion to make the scene memorable. But the problem with that is you can't ignore or change how a body will react if you inflict trauma like that to it. This is up there with the supernova that could ''destroy the galaxy'' in Star Trek (2009)
