MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 10:42 AMAs CanadaPhil has pointed out on a different thread, the giant lettering on the side is a bit much, I hope he is right that this is billboard is not really in the movie. Other than that, I think the clip is perfect.

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 10:50 AMIt has been pointed out now in three threads I think, all ships/planes/vessels have their name painted on them...it's just the way it is...

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 10:52 AMWOOOOOOOWWW!!!
Also the big letters on the ship cant be in the movie, they're not even rendered properly

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 10:52 AMThey sure took off their seat belts quick, shouldn't they be leaving them on until after they touch down? I guess their disregard for their own safety is something that has to be established in the beginning of the story.

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 11:00 AMThis whole movie has forgotten all the protocols (new planet system scans, let the robots investigate before the organics, don't touch the wildlife, and most of all be very very careful... you dumb idiots... never mind too late.

I think what's been pointed out in those those threads is that some people are querying the [i]size[/i] of the name, not simply why it would be there.
The second would be reasonably obvious - the first, not so much.
@Ender
Agreed - I swear I saw that W, "float", on the bank right...
*edit after watching it 3 times:
have to say that, even by today's standards, when we are spoilt with this kind of visual quality - this thing looks BEAUTIFUL.

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 11:02 AMone of the most impressive spaceships, and most beautiful landing sequences, ever to be put on film. This thing is going to set a new bar for what a great sci fi film should be aesthetically...

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 11:15 AMI didn't realize until I saw this clip that the domes have huge walls around them. The way they are situated, it makes the valley look like an industrial site more than some kind of sacred ground.

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 11:18 AMThis clip is only in 720p, if anyone finds a 1080p, please post a link to it.

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 11:25 AMIts relieving to see that just in 1 minute part of the movie we see already so many sequences from the trailers . Oh and the movie look BEAUTIFUL

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 11:26 AMThe video on Apple won't go full screen, maybe just on my PC, so the YouTube version is better, especially since you can manually choose the highest resolution.

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 11:27 AMYeah! Looks great, feels like the clip has been shortened too, probably longer in the actual movie

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 11:29 AMLOVELY. Idris Elba was talking about Prometheus this morning on good morning america and they showed the same footage.
That landing sequence looked so F***in' rad.
I just went from 6 to 12 in a second.

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 11:38 AMThe reason that the "PROMETHEUS" lettering looks funny is because the sides of the ship are really LED billboards which advertise the sponsors of the ship. The scene cuts right before it spells out "GEICO."

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 11:54 AMLooks very edited to me, and badly too - as others have said, I'm sure this is a heavily cut version of what we'll see in the movie.
Bad continuity too (no doubt down to the choppy editing) - first Idris Elba's hat is off, then it's on .. then it's off again! I don't think that we're even seeing it all in sequence.
This is more of a montage than a full clip ........

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 12:26 PMI agree, it's heavily edited.
And looks beautiful.
The atmosphere is not just 21% oxygen, it's 71% Nitrogen and traces of Argon, too.
It's very similar to ours (79% nitrogen here and traces of Argon).
I wonder if they made it slightly different on purpose or it's a blunder (considering that Holloway says "Just like home").
Can't wait for these 17 days to pass.
Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born.
Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 12:31 PMJust from watching the clip once it's obvious that the sequence of events is HEAVILY edited. I suspect it was shortened either for time or because there are little bits here and there that they don't want us to see.

NoXWord
MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 12:39 PMYes, namely they have cut the part when Janek announces that now they can turn their mobiles on, and everybody send texts to announce they landed and the trip was fine.

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 1:06 PMYes the clip is obviously edited but at least It's a longer view of the landing, instead of the quick fragments we've seen in the trailers.
I'm really looking forward to the full-length scene, hopefully similar to the great landing scene in Alien.

MemberFacehuggerMay-14-2012 2:59 PMWhy do they wear helmets outside if the atmosphere is breathable? Too much dust?
Safe? Of course he isn't safe, but he's good!
