You're almost there. The actual title is still a bit more eccentric than that.

Either the car in the background is an anachronism; or, this is an 'art' film and the characters appear to be somewhat Bohemian. I look at the one guy and think, 'saxophone', but I don't know why. I'm pretty sure I don't recognize the film.

I guess I'll need to check out the extended content, some day.
You're probably right about the edits.

...I can only assume that the Engineers returned to Earth at various points during the evolution of man - although that was never specified in the film itself.
Either that, or the Engineers - although they have mastered space flight, faster than light drives, and cryo-sleep - can't draw for sh!t.
Must have been one of Lindelof's "edits"...

Acting was just fair. Writing lacked a lot both in character development/continuity/judgement and on the technical side.
An early example anachronism was:

What was the possible source for the cave paintings? It was a distracting, open-ended question that never gets answered. Was it some genetic memory that we've since lost? Did the Engineers, themselves make them?
That said, when it shows up on the free previews, I'll watch it, again.
