September 24, 2012I saw the HD deleted scenes from iTunes before they were taken down. I'm surprised more people haven't been discussing this.
I'm very curious what the Engineer is saying in this scene, so I wonder if the linguist who invented the language will reveal it.
The other big deleted scene is the Engineer coming to the lifeboat and exploring a bit before discovering Shaw (who tries to hide but is exposed when David tries talking to her on her radio), who then takes after him with an axe. They fight a bit and then the scene proceeds as it did in the theatrical version, but the Engineers damaged face seems to be totally a product of the theatrical cut, as his face is not injured in the scene. I think the scene works better and does not at all lessen the Engineer's menace.
