Favorite Prometheus Scene

Mr. Ruhaniya- do you mean the crew who got exposed were hallucinating?

My favorite scene is when David activates the Orrery.

Pure cinematic spectacle, 100% unadultered sci-fi magic. Of course the music helps a lot.

The opening sequence, as enigmatic as it is, is also very striking.

To be honest....

I cant find a favorite scene... i can find a few ones i was disapointed with lol

Thats not to sugest i found more disapointing but in fact i found so many scenes, very very interesting....  The Full Sacrifical Scene i really liked mind, the Orrey Room, in fact most scenes.

hurray for the nerdgasm! I also liked the Orrey scene is a very deceptive device and the helmet hookha should have been in there also.  Giger could have contributed at the flute scene for sure! Even an Engineer should have been sacrificed to start up that puppy!  Then 3 more for the time travel incarnation further into the past.  Ya then weren't just hallucinating they were going far beyond that on this journey! David himself selected Earth in the Orrey Astrological Apperatus thingy, It's was reading him his thoughts we just assume that it was preprogramming.  Even the android is on his own personal trip.   When David 8.4 ( of many on the Prometheus) reactivates Shaw from the cyropod she don't remember has to find out how she ended up on an Alien Space Ship shit out of luck. I'm thinking Project Prometheus was absorbed by an anomally beast demon to another demensions.  Kind of like Event Horizon but only coming back ass as data. 

Yikes!

the engineer getting into the chair with the suit closing around him.

Milburn and the Hammerpede scene.    

   I think i'd rather be chest bursted then have that happen to me...at least when you're 'chest bursted' you die relatively quick.....A Hammerpede breaking your arm in half and entering your mouth to probably eat you from the inside or lay eggs so you can be chest bursted later!?!!!! *shudder* no just kill me quick.

.A Hammerpede breaking your arm in half and entering your mouth to probably eat you from the inside or lay eggs so you can be chest bursted later!?!!!! *shudder* no just kill me quick.

never thought of that until now that must be horrifying.

The engineer suiting up part was a defining moment for sure and cool to see. Yet Most of the Engineers we see in the film were already suited up and yet still contaminated by something?  perhaps it wouldn't have matter if the Prometheus crew took their helmets off.  The hammerpede scene was definitely creepy.  There are 2 things I find most interesting about this scene 1.) There was already worms in the dirty around the Urns 2.) We see how invincible these monstrosities can be...relating back to the Xenomorph Deep thoughts indeed.  How about being chestbursted over and over and over? Forget the eagles eating the liver

The split second shot where we see the exterior close view of the Prometheus giving chase jettisoning the life pod, with the silouette of the Juggernaught flying in front of it off in the distance.  

Nearly fell off my chair when I first saw it in one of the previews before the movie release. Still sends chills down my spine. 

Visually stunning imagery It sure has come along way from flying models into each other and blowing them up with a cherry bomb.  What a way to go though eh? The engineers would probably call them terrorists.  Now that explosion was pretty significant enough to knock out the Juggernaut but not destroy it.  Reflecting back on the emergency? landed derelict... there was no signs of catastrophic destruction. Uhmmmm

^ Agreed with all above!^

Too many great scenes to list, but two I want to mention are: when the Prometheus is scouting LV223, tiny against the backdrop of mountains, brilliant sound and visuals! So simple, yet somehow ominous.

Another simple and ominous scene is the exchange between Holloway and David as they're suiting up for the first trip to the dome. Beautifully shot and acted, with that nauseating throb of a score. I found it to be unsettling, the polar differences in perspective. "Not too close, I hope".

There are indeed many scenes that stand out...

The Pilot Chair Scene was one of the few intended Money Shot Scenes.... other that i feel was intended as the Money Shots was the opening Scene, the Mural Room Scene,  then the main Money Shots had to be Shaws C Section, the Pilot Chair Scene and the Deacon Chest Buster Scene.

These are like Alien ones of the entering the Pilot Chair Chamber i.e Space Jockey,  the Face Hugger in Egg Chamber, the Chest Buster and then first time we encounter the Adult Xeno Scene.

On a visual level, the entire film is lovingly crafted. In fact, it's just as beautiful as BladeRunner! 

The opening scenes dark beauty, with the Noobernaut flying over the terrain, it's hovering ominously, by the waterfall, then rising up and breaking through the clouds, like some gargantuan alien seed-ship....well it has to be one of the greatest openings ever! 

In contrast to the uneasy, enclosed claustophobia of ALIEN, Prometheus gave us huge, expansive vistas, which were equally as unsettling in their foreboding beauty. 

@Mr Ruh~ I hear ya! 

The Derelict from ALIEN may have been on LV426 for thousands of years or more, and had no obvious damage. The Juggernaut in Prometheus hardly sustained any outer damage, even after a direct hit from the Prometheus plus it's ion propulsion engines exploding!

I think the egg silo is potentially still intact too, having gone back to dormant mode.

Yes, when the gargantuan Noobernaut (I love you, Lone!) becomes erect and floats away is at once hallucinogenic, scary and oddly suggestive. That one moment alone is a riff on all the things that made Alien great!

I thought the sceen when they are examining the Engineer head may be one the finest moments in all of science fiction cinema along with many others in this movie. Visually the movie a fine masterpiece of art work

I also like when the sceen for the back of the space craft as it is approaching LV423 with the four engines burning hard and the music in the background. 

The tip of Davids finger when he looks closely at the nano particles and says "big things have small beginings".

The pups...

Everything about the engineers especially the opening sceens, I wish they could have been taller maybe 15 feet tall 20 would have been amazing but some how I know Ridley may not have been able to get the audience to be able to relate to such alien differences and hence the more anthropomorphic they are in our self centered image.

All of the computer graphics with the 3d is amazing including the Weyland himself when in simulation when talking to the crew...increadible and amazing work done there....

We have never sceen artwork done so masterfully as it is done in this movie. Much of the entire movie reminds me of the old 16th century artwork come to life.

My fav was the quick shot of the Engineer hovering over Shaw in the TRAILER that didnt make it into the fucking film!!

speaking of when they took their helmets off, my kid noticed in the next scene they werent carrying them! oops!

And of course the C- section scene for sure!!

MR. RUHANIYA - What a very fun topic! Hmm...my favorite scene...? I would have to say that I greatly enjoyed the moments in which the crew of the Prometheus were first approaching the Pyramids! The feeling of building tension and foreboding really established the film's atmosphere for me! :)
