Trying to understand this statement since hearing the first time hearing it seemed to be a contradiction. For example, it was premature for Weyland to meet the engineer, but why fortunately? David says this to a sleeping Weyland. He thereafter get confronted by Vickers. he says Wayland told him to Try Harder. He then goes for the ampules. shaw says what killed the Engineers, and the scene changes to David breaking the top of the green glass phallic goo container. I am thinking it is in reference to a life form in the ampules. Someone else posted this theory about the four tubes being life forms and it all seemed to connect for me. Still, it would require knowledge of what was in the ampule. David could have gotten this information from a scan or reading the hyrogliphics. We also have to assume Weyland was directing David with no consideration of the consequence or who was hurt. That last assumption is pretty easy.

I think he was talking about how so far the team had not had any success with finding the engineers. David said it was premature because if Weyland had gone, he would have been unsuccessful. And the fortunately part is probably referring to how the other members of the team had been injured. If Weyland had gone, he perhaps would have been injured too.

My view is that Weyland intended to kill everyone but David once he got his "powers". When david is linking with him, weyland tells him to "try harder", My theory david is like "what if that kills someone?" Weyland responds "better now then after they get their answers." David making sense of this would be by him saying "fortunately premature" This is contrasted by Shaw's statement "id rather die with the answers than live without them."

Antarctica, There were no injured people at that point. So, there still isn't an explanation for using the word fortunately. Unfortunately works if he was talking about waking up . . . Unfortunately, it is premature to wake at this time because we haven't found the engineers. It is such a weird statement, it must have some meaning. Plus, the plot turns very quickly at this point in the movie, and seems to have significance with the other things going on, hence the cutting to other scenes that provide answers to prior ones, e.g, what killed them? [Shaw] . . . David opens the penis glass thing with the goo and looks at it.

Sure? Guess you are right, it must be like right after that scene that everything goes to shit. One thing for sure is that the whole premature thing has to do with how they hadn't found the engineers yet, like I said before.

I think he meant the process of the goo infecting the Engineer.  This coincides with my theory I started on another page, that Weyland knew of the black goo and what it could do, etc.
