ENGINEER TALKS

DELETED !!! no. . .:'(

[quote][b]Is it just me.. or did they really cut out scenes or aspects of scenes that would have really made the movie?[/b][/quote] Yep, it's just you. I know it seems like the extra scenes would add a whole lot, but I've come to the conclusion that they really wouldn't have made the movie any better. In fact, some of them would have made it worse. The way the Engineer bursts into the escape pod rather than just wandering in before the fight with Shaw is much more menacing and intense. Sure, I would have liked to hear the Engineer speak and see Shaw sip the vodka and inject herself, but it really doesn't add anything to the film. The film is more streamlined and concise and just a touch more... ambiguous. I think the subject matter demands that mystery. Of course the video has been taken down now... at least some of us got to see it. :)

I am reminded, once again, of opinions, which is what yours is, Patient Leech, and am happy to disagree with you.

i tried the link and it said that it had been deleted for miss use.....holy fack what did the engineer say? anyone?

@patientleech Whether is was "just me" or not has yet to be seen. :) The scene with the engineer finding shaw in the escape pod was really awesome in my opinion and really added the pause needed before his demise by cuddles. The scenes showing her in great pain, both when they wake the engineer and when she dopes herself up in the escape pod, really gives life and believability to shaws actions after the surgery. @pulserifle187 Thought you were just tryin to make your questions REALLY clear lol. :)...What did the engineer say? He said, "GRUMBLE GRUMBLE GRUMBLE GRUMBLE." in a real deep satanicish voice.

@Pulserifle: It's called an [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotence]Idempotence[/url] failure.

and it's GONE, once again we've unveiled the LACK OF CLOSURE in these Deleted Scenes, for those who thought they'd contain 'answers'. That, for me, is the major reason Fox keep deleting this stuff (you know, other than the obviously blatant Copyright breach). Well, only Sacrificial Intro and Paradise to find next aka GCA or GottaCatchemAll.

DELETED!!!! VIDEO DELETED!!!!

It seems to me that so far the deleted stuff is about 60% scenes that I wish they had left in, and about 40% stuff that I understand why it was cut. The scenes fleshing out the crew really should have been in the movie, as even stuff like seeing/hearing Ford tremble a bit more while standing in front of the engineer, or Janek's "first time into the deep?" question add a lot to their characters, not to mention bigger stuff like the extra scene with Janek and Vickers, or learning more about Weyland's motivations. However, I understand why some stuff wasn't in there, even the engineer speaks scene which was extremely interesting to see. The final battle scene didn't impress me at all. It was the only scene so far that I thought was good that it was left out simply because it wasn't done very well.

PS: I really like the theatrical cut a lot as-is, but I think it could have gone a long way in helping people, especially others who weren't so keen on the film (like some people who are on here constantly trashing it), enjoy it even more.

Meh... glad i watched it. Not what i was expecting. Not a movie ... fixer in this situation. Still don't feel as if the Engineer should have died. He got axed a few times, and didn't seem to give a ****. Which i find odd. He just kept holding her up. LOL. What the hell, man?

I too felt the same way about the Engineer, I was quite annoyed that he was decimated by cuddles! I found the final battle scene rather interesting. Despite being downed by the Prometheus ship, he seemed pretty casual about it! Even had time to check out the shiny chandelier, and even when he spotted her - he just stared at her, as if waiting for her to make her first move. There were so many instances where he could have easily killed her. He took those axe blows pretty well!

Well, regarding the scene of Shaw axing the Engineer, being ridiculous. I have something to say about that. Have you all watched the YouTube video of the deer hunter getting his ass whopped by, well, the deer. Can anybody, please, try to explain to me what the assumption is? I'm particularly interested in male and female responses to this. Thank you.

And, yes, I do wholeheartedly agree with you, PlotHoleFiller, about the casual affair the Engineer seemed to appear, he seemed to be fascinated by the workings of the human technology. And the whole scenario of Shaw hiding behind the bar-aw, man, I JUST LOVE IT, SCARY, damn-it actually was/is scary to me. Those scenes are scary.

it was strange, in the final BATTLE SCENE, the Engineer looked FAR LESS ANGRY this time, like he was there for ANSWERS [b]from Shaw[/b]......... or maybe they just look gormless and mongoloid like that as standard. He didn't really try to kill her THAT HARD, did he? Was he reflecting Jesus's ability to 'take the beatings' and not die, as any 'real human' would have up the hill of Galilee?

Intriguing.

@ Freeplanet - just had another look at the FINAL BATTLE scene, as the Engineer peers over the table - he could have easily grabbed by the head, he didn't. When she stood up, within those few moments he could have easily swatted her - he didn't. It was only when she she swung the axe at him then he reacted. Then when we go back to the ENGINEER SPEAKS scene - the Engineer still has his mission to fulfil. When he awakens and David tells him, we came here like you asked. After hearing that, he never whacked them - despite his mission to terminate humanity. He then asked them why they came (which I found interesting - because he was interested in knowing why). When David responds with Weyland's request - yes he gets annoyed - from that moment I was expecting him to whack all of them, but he didn't! He even allowed the old prune to justify himself - whether or not he understood Weyland's petty reasoning I don't know - but his body language was loud and clear, it stunk of pure arrogance. And with that he was bludgeoned with his own creation. I would like to hear from Scott and or Lindelof on why the Engineer prolonged his actions - I hope the answer isn't, because it looked cool in the scene! I'm kinda thinking the Engineer was giving them one chance to redeem themselves and they failed. When he encountered Shaw, I think he wanted to see what she had to say for herself - as I think he remembered she was very vocal when he awakened. I believe he was waiting for her to say something to him - she didn't, she just whacked him with the axe.

To me the way engineer admired the crystals and wanted to touch the screen that had child Shaw playing violin kinda remind me of cute kid first time in zoo :) The bar scene was a bit hilarious cause the Engineers face was like "Found you" and Shaw almost soiled herself. It's weird why he didn't attack first, maybe he understood that Shaw didn't want the same thing as Weyland but the axe might have changed the opinion about her like "I thought we could be friends but you want to whack me with it - -" or that he waited explanation from her. Another thing is that the suit can't take an axe blow but a bullet from a gun just bounces off. And it's nice to know that the blood is some sort of shade of red. Does anyone know who was the voice actor or was it Ians voice computerized ? There si no way Ian has that voice (duh. . .).

[quote]Another thing is that the suit can't take an axe blow but a bullet from a gun just bounces off. And it's nice to know that the blood is some sort of shade of red.[/quote] From what I saw - she whacked him pretty good with that axe! She did get him in the ribs, and you do see it a bit of blood splatter. The blood didn't seem red at all but black. Is the Engineers blood and black goo linked? Yes, the actor's voice was definitely altered.

In my screen its dark red not black. Pretty weird.
