What's Happening To The Surface Outside Of The Temple On The Planet As Shaw Trie

I think it's the sandstorm. I thought that was obvious, maybe not. Am I wrong?

anyone?

The derelict is rising form beneath the ground The whole place in front of the temple is a space hangar of some sort GAME OF THRONES is the best thing on TV right now

The Derelict, awesome, that's what I thought, and then it's going to get knocked back down by "The Company" I've been right all along about this thing I think.

love game of thrones have you read the books wicked stuff another season of joffrey bashing.

I can't believe they did that to Sean Bean...

My question is what exactly is going on in that scene with somone getting blown through the air but still clining to that Samsonite case like its something very, very, important?? IE: The pic used as the thumbnail for this sites "Latest News" Tab or EGR101's avatar above??

David Finchers True Script has got to be in that case LOL.

That someone is Elizabeth Shaw somewhere towards the beginning to middle when the crew is fully suited. Later they just have their helmets, but not the headgear.

???? That looks like quite an explosive force. Surely, a fragile person is going to be seriously messed up after being flung 100's of feet with such force !?! People get killed in 10mph crashes for cryin out loud. Is this not a scene towards the end of the movie following the crash of the Jockey Vessel??

Its gotta be the derelict lauching. Shaw Probably survives by a hair thread no doubt. Survivors instinct what not. Fuckin A to the sweet Cinema set up man. Thats gotta look/sound/feel pretty damn good

I have a feeling Shaw gets blown away into the clutches of someone or something that isn't looking out for her best interests.

Yeah... It could very well be the LAUNCH of the Jockey Ship.

Its shaw being blown back from the sandstorm that forces the team to abandon the temples and return to the Prometheus. She gets injured but not captured by anything because the contents of the bag, most likely the head/helmet are soon afterward scanned aboard the prometheus!

the "sandstorm" is the mountain/temple covering of the ship being cast off.

so that sandstorm is happening at the same time that the Derelict is Attempting to make it's way to Earth? is that what you are trying to say Snorky?

No sparky?!? Shaw, while carrying the bag is blown away by the sandstorm early on in the film. Much later on the ground opens up and she jumps down into the opening ground. I thought that was obvious!

i AM NOT SURE anything IS OBVIOUS ANYMORE seems to me that could just as well {Shaw getting blown} be happening at the same time the derelict is attempting to Bombard Earth! That might even be the last image all together in the entire film IMO, maybe whats in that case is what would have destroyed all of earth had shaw ever arrived back there...truth is...we have no way of knowing at all what the actual time frame is on any of the images we have seen so far...some we can get close to, but this one there really is no way to be sure snorky...unless you know something i do not?...Edit: I think it is also becoming increasingly important to know what is inside that case as you mentioned, maybe it's just the red exploring/imaging/mapping balls we see in the caves that are kept in little briefcases....aaaah...I like that...maybe that's all it is...but again, we have no way of knowing for sure yet at all.

In the footage we see the sandstorm approaching the Prometheus with the RT-01 and the two sand buggys beside it, the sandstorm behind them. We then see Shaw holding the bag with the yellow head bonnet on at the foot of the ramp as the sandstorm reaches her and blows her back, in between the hull of the Prometheus and its engines. Much later in the film, we see Shaw alone without the yellow head bonnet in front of the temple with no sandstorm around her whatsoever as the ground begins to open up, the Derelict beneath preparing to take off. Two completely different scenes at two different points in the film.

Right Snorky I get that but we have absolutely NO CLUE how far or how Not Far Apart they occur. For all we know they can be happening within the same 10 minute span and also this is a MAJOR characteristic of Sandstorms, which flare up unexpectantly at all kinds of different times under all kinds of different conditions. Or there could be NO Sandstorm AT ALL and what you are seeing is Controlled Action on the part of something or a mechanical accident of some sort. We Do Not Know For Sure.
