Why would I want to give credit to a movie for something it didn't even use?
Are you really nitpicking to the point of making screencaps of the tiniest continuity error caused by a scene being deleted?
You seem to be scrutinizing every frame of this movie looking for screwups, to the extent that you appear to be spending more time with it than its staunchest defenders.
This thread has become downright bizarre. It goes beyond the level of 'hater' to apparent obsessional disorder.
What is the point?
Seriously, I'm bemused :confused

You seemed to need something to occupy your time
Wait. There was a scene explaining the blatant disappearance of both the Engineer and the Trilobite? Was the whole Engineer and Trilobite all in Shaw's head? I don't recall that being in the deleted scenes or in the leaked scripts. Yet there's the hatch, partly open but no Engineer or Trilobite struggling with each other.
I guess the film makers forgot to incorporate them into that shot. Slackers.

No clue what you are bangin on about here, but again, who cares? Didn't we establish about 30 pages ago that the editing on the movie was a hack job?
I think this is the first time I've ever seen an actual movie acquire a stalker :wacko
Aren't stalkers usually known for being stealthy? How exactly am I being stealthy in my open distaste for Prometheus? Plus this movie is a part of my legit and bona fide movie collection. How can I stalk something I already own?
And it's not my fault that the movie keeps giving me more things to chew on every time I look for more faults. Normally if a movie was any good, I would be more than happy to overlook it's faults like I do with ALIEN and ALIENS. Maybe you should just log me off as just some movie geek who doesn't share your opinion rather than treat my antics like it was some form of 'disorder'.

Maybe you enjoy not liking a movie more than you do liking one.
Wait, wot? You saw it at the cinema, hated it to a degree apparently never before achieved by any other audience member in film history, and then went and purchased a copy when it was released for home video?
I think I can be a little perverse and obsessive, but...

Used copy. For those who wish to own a movie while not supporting those who made it. You can thank RiffTrax for getting me started on that trend. Plus, regardless if a movie is good or bad, you cannot go wrong with the package and bonus content when Charles is in charge.
Because Prometheus is the Ultimate "Marmite" of all movies, you'll either love it or hate it, either way you'll get a strong response from any exposure to it.
Hold on a minute , I think I've figured the true origin of the goo at long last (and why it has a different effect on everyone who tries it!)
Seriously, I think it rather unfair that Jeryl gets all the attention for his posts whilst my legitimate criticisms are totally ignored! Come on guys, haters are people too!!! At least we don't rip the heads off an android and beat old men to death for asking a reasonable question like "Can I have some more life please".
Or perhaps this is what really happened:

For the same reason that Humans share the same DNA but you see so much variation in the species.

I had the same issue about the DNA.
The Engineers all look the same... like EXACTLY the same. So why aren't we (humans) all eight feet tall clones?
I also didn't really get enough motivation for Weyland being on the ship (yes I understand he wants to "meet his maker for more life") however to me the deleted scene of a young Peter Weyland giving his speech should have been included in the final cut.
And yeah... had a problem with Theron's character not running to the side- they build her up as this "hard as nails" woman yet she panics under pressure and runs most definitely the WRONG WAY.
But I guess they really wanted that "bad person gets their's" moment. Reminded me of '76 King Kong crushing the bad guy with his foot.
All in all I did enjoy the picture- Fassbender stole the movie!

I see no evidence of that since both the humans and the engineers seem to inherit the stupid gene.
