MemberOvomorphApr-27-2012 3:20 AMTo me this could be the defining statement in "Prometheus":

This puts aside any doubt about how in "Prometheus" universe technological prowess and developed civilizations can be deeply savage. I really wonder how after seeing this mountaintop the crew and above all Shawn don´t refrain their enthusiasm and choose a more cautious approach to the whole mission. Of course if they had done this the movie would be a lot less interesting...

fluffy tribbles - PLENTY of troubles, lol. That mountainhead and those clouds look so forboding and terrifying.

MemberOvomorphApr-27-2012 6:22 AMPerhaps our God(s) are vengeful with extreme prejudice? So much Anthropomorphic imagery....made in their image perhaps? Very Biblical actually, including the warning to not eat from the tree of knowledge....bad humans!

MemberDeaconApr-27-2012 9:30 AMAfter seeing this image posted the other day, the Temple Complex looks exactly like Gigers work, and the work he did as a concept for Dune.
I feel that Ridley is using the unused work of Gigers from Dune and also how Giger vissioned the Temple works. Combined with some parts of the Orginal Alien Script with some element of Planet of the Vampires and then throw in the Weyland Agenda and Corp and the Ancient Astronaught Creators theory with Promethues Myth.
Add them all into a mixing bowl and voila we have what is the back bone for Prometheus.

MemberOvomorphApr-27-2012 9:34 AMWhy would they turn back?
This looks just like a ride at Disneyland!
But seriously, for a team of "scientists", they seem far too confident in their assumptions. First question, if the builder knew what a human face looks like, why a howling skull, and not a friendly smile?
Darwin Awards all around!

MemberOvomorphApr-27-2012 9:38 AMAnd THAT was only the very first temple in the complex which is huge. They are only on the outer edge of what they come across.
What is in the REST of the place??

A huge casino. Like the hell version of Cloud City. If you beat the dealer, you get mutated. Let's just say nobody ever wants to beat the dealer.
Fall down seven times, get up eight.

MemberOvomorphApr-27-2012 10:50 AMAh, this is obviously the "Happy Fun Dome"! Let's go inside, remove our helmets and see if there is cake and ice cream waiting for us!

MemberOvomorphApr-27-2012 10:52 AMThat would mean terrifying lounge acts then...
Celine Dion, David Copperfield, whoever is left from Seigfried and Roy (forgot which one the Kitty ate??)
Wow... I bet you would actually be able to hear me scream in that freaky space !
