MemberOvomorphAug-26-2012 2:46 AMThe intro sacrifical death or the ending impregnate death?
I loved the intro death. First time watching it immediately grabbed my attention. I had no idea what the black goo was doing to him, and to see his body disintegrate while he groans and falling into down the waterfall. Showing new dna and cells created while the calm music plays and the Prometheus title comes up. great intro.
The ending death was also great. Alot of people said it happened too fast, but I didn't mind it, in fact I loved how quick everything was happening n that scene. It was so fast paced, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I was hoping the engineer would put up a fight like stomp the trilobite or something, but either way I loved that scene as well.
And to be honest, I wished the deacon was the queen. When I first saw it I thought the deacon was the queen when it popped out.
I pick the last engineer's death.

MemberNeomorphAug-26-2012 10:38 AMThe death at the opening scene was great. Bobs death was quite cheesy, i thought. I don't like the giant face hugger! It looks like it belongs in Clash of the Titans, not an Alien Film.
However, the best death scene, for me, was the Engineers in the holograms. A great scene and a great mistery, that is one of the few places in the Film where ambiguity worked really well! it somehow reminded me of the Jack the Ripper murders and i love everything about that mistery. Mmm, Jack the Ripper in outerspace? there's one for the suits at Fox. lol
The poster was good though!

MemberOvomorphAug-26-2012 10:40 AM@David 1 yes the pile IS extra creepy. I liked both deaths ( weird thing to say ), the whole initial sequence had a thundering sort of brutality, literally gave me goosebumps, and I knew what was going to happen! The Trilobite scene was far better than I had expected, just a scary, cool and retro-classic, and needed IMO for life cycle continuity and general Engineer bad a*sedness. Those guys do a lot of suffering.

MemberNeomorphAug-26-2012 10:50 AM@David. I liked that Film too. But i don't believe, for one second, that it was anything to do with the Royal family! It was probably a poor lunatic called Aaron Kosminski? But not 100% sure. Anyway, sorry, back to the discussion.
The poster was good though!

MemberOvomorphAug-26-2012 10:53 AMi liked the dick van dyke engineer's death, the one that fell and got his head chopped off.
good to know our "gods" also trip like a white teenage woman in a slasher movie ^_^

MemberOvomorphAug-26-2012 2:38 PM The new generation of Engineer's death bothered me a lot. I understand that the trilobite had him in a couple of coils but he seemed to be able to hold the creature off and his hands did not seem to be gripping any coils and, if he, knew the nature of this beast, why did he not keep his mouth clamped down shut????

MemberNeomorphAug-26-2012 5:05 PM@SubsumeYou. In the real world he probably would, but it's a Film, so they need that to happen in order to make the story progress and lead to the next scene.
EDIT:
Or maybe i'm wrong and the whole point of the scene was to show that, Shaw had given birth to her saviour,(you know, with the whole Christmas thing). That would suggest that the Engineer didn't know what he was dealing with, that it was something new.
I have an hard time coming to terms with, these so called Gods being so accident prone! But i suppose that's intended to show us how close to Humans they are?
The poster was good though!

AdminEngineerAug-26-2012 5:09 PMThe sacrificial scene was well done, visually. But I dunno, part of me likes the classic chest bursting scene. Brought back the feel of ALIEN to me, which I loved. And you all know I really enjoyed Prometheus and the Deacon - so I'd probably say the final death scene was my favorite.

MemberOvomorphAug-27-2012 2:15 AMI like that final wrestle between Trillo and Enge - it does indeed have an Irwin Allen 'Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea'/50 sci-fi retro feel, coupled with the fact that it's a tentacled, cephalopod-type thing (the insect analogy having gone right out of the window where it belongs) also recalls pulp comic sci-fi. The choral 'screams' on the soundtrack in this sequence really make it chilling. I bet Scott drew on past iconic influences deliberately along with the Fireball XL5 spacesuits.
Imagine the makers going all out in the sequel and blending all this pseudo-retro with visceral mind-bending horror. I loves it.

MemberOvomorphAug-27-2012 2:34 AMdifficult decision...I really enjoy the sacrifice, was a dramatic and delicious start to my eyes but I'll take the fight Jules Verne/Lovecraft style and with the adorable Deacon too :D

i only saw the movie once but i thought the trillobite had small tentacles that came out from around its mouth and wrapped around the engineers neck?
if so, when you are choking it is an automatic response to gasp for air.
also, since face huggers melt through things just like it did in the first movie with kane's helmet.... i assume the trillo would have just busted out the engineer's teeth or melted through them as a facehugger would any other obstacle.
personally if i knew i was in a losing battle.... i would rather not have my teeth shattered or melted out of my skull before i was impregnated.
i assume the trillo would have acid blood/excretions since the xenos, face huggers, and hammerpedes did also.

MemberOvomorphAug-30-2012 4:01 AMhmmm, good question. I think the sacrificial one because it had emotion in it and it was long (weird huh?).
The deacon birth wasn't 'new' to me but classical.
