Ok good folks, you'll have to help me out in this one, since I only saw the movie once and I'm unable to remember every fine detail of it. But as far as I can tell there are a bunch of nodds to 2001 - a Space Odyssey; some blatant some not so much so. Nodds [without any particular order]: 1 - David 8 as both HAL and David Bowman 2 - The red hanging Space Suit inside Prometheus 3 - The hanging space suits all aligned in Prometheus [not like Alien] 4 - 2001 quotes: Prometheus Computer to David 8 - "good morning David" Shaw - What are you doing, David? as HAL -"What are you doing Dave?" [THANKS TO HADLEY'S HOPE] David -I’m attempting to open the door. as Dave to HAL - "Open the pod bay door HAL." [THANKS TO HADLEY'S HOPE] David - "I'm sorry but I can't do that" as HAL - "I'm sorry Dave, but I can't do that" 5 - Creator and Created Being dualism [Engineers/Monolith vs Humans vs Robot] this is the most evident one [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/7904]more extensively here[/url] 6 - David 8's exercising 7 - Classic Music use. 8 - Vickers Room [for aesthetic purposes] 9 - An indirect approach to the Crew on Prometheus being in Cryo before getting inside the ship [how else would they not know each other?] just like the Scientific crew in the DIscovery 10 - David 8 eating while watching a vid [much like David Bowman and Frank Pool did] 11 - the scenes of barren terrain being filmed by fly over. [THANKS TO SHAWLUV] 12 - old Weyland in the weelchair as old David Bowman [THANKS TO MR. YUTANI] 13 - The natural Monolith Old Man of Storr, on the Isle of Skye [THANKS TO HADLEY'S HOPE] 14 - The Evolution Scene in the beginning as a short take for 2001's Dawn of Man [THANKS TO HADLEY'S HOPE] Feel free to add anything you remember. P.s.: Lock it down if repeated. And sorry if it is

The Truth: Funny enough, when I first listened to it, It reminded me of Star Trek - the motion picture.
