Surprised it wasnt a 18 in the UK

Okay so do any other UK viewers think Prometheus was seriously pushing the 15 boundary? I mean there were two scenes (coincidentally my favourite) that I’m really surprised didn’t make it an 18. Med pod scene, I was half expecting the camera to pull away or focus on Noomi’s facial expression when it started slicing and pulling her skin apart, but no, shows us everything! Fifield garage attack scene, okay I know this scene was edited and changed into oblivion (blu ray will hopefully restore it) but the brutality and violence really had me going and shaking slightly. (P.S. I’m not one of those whinny Daily Mail readers that goes on about violence in cinema and games, just making an observation.)
