- This is a segment from the 2012 movie Prometheus that I will analyse on my blog for my UAL ED CMPT course, this video is simply to be embedded in the blog as something for an examiner to view and then read my analysis
this scene was so beautiful to watch in a theater
Everything seems so tender and the music is magical if it weren't for the fact that what they are doing is aiming at planet Earth to destroy all traces of civilization. It is a chilling and terribly inhumane scene.
Fassbinder was Perfect..I really enjoyed the Film...This scene. MOST Magical.
can we all appreciate the quality of CGI here? pretty astounding
There was something about Prometheus that was visually so appealing, dark and cold. The production design of this movie was the best in a movie I've ever seen.
the movie's pretty colorful tbh
Ridley Scott is a visionary genius
What happened to P2 why did the second film do so poorly?
@@wbh3952 Yes he created the set design for the amazing Legend film!
@@dannwan8537 Cause it wasn't a P2 , but a C1 forced by producers and financers . Scott still wants to make a P2 , hopefully he gets the chance to do so.....
The one thing that really just makes me smile is the overall tone of this scene vs. the tone of the engineers in the hologram. The scene plays this up like an incredible insight into a new realm of knowledge, yet the body language of the engineers suggest all they're doing is going about another normal day at their place of work. Illustrates how what is fantastical to us is simultaneously mundane to someone else.
Damn ! That would explain the Apple Genius Bar ! We the Humans are faulty , not the hardware !!!!
Stellar cartography has a certain kind of beauty. Replace Psycho David with Commander Data and you get a completely different perspective. They could have taken this franchise in a different direction that would have had many sequels but now it has ignored Alien canon, and become predictable and lackluster.

This can also be applied to the whole concept of ETs in regards to our planet, they could be so far advanced from us that many of them have passed our solar system countless times and just see us as completely insignificant. Or some have visited us but have such advanced technology they can either disguise themselves to look like us, or just have some really cool stealth technology which we just dont pick up on. Or some of them have visited us many times which is where some of the stories of UFO encounters, abductions and crop circles come from.
All of these ideas have been explored in pop culture and movies, which is why they're mostly just not taken seriously by most people in the mainstream of society.

This is one of my favorite scenes in cinema. The music. The look of amazement on David's face. Watching a replay of the engineers in the past do what is completely normal for them, but fascinating to us.
Everything seems so tender and the music is magical if it weren't for the fact that what they are doing is aiming at planet Earth to destroy all traces of civilization. It is a chilling and terribly inhumane scene.
Imagine the feeling of being able to observe the entire galaxy map to the detail of individual planets and the freedom to go absolutely anywhere
I want to hope or imagine that if we're not already then super close in the next 5-10 years (~2030ish) that we should have some tech similar. Maybe not for the whole milky way galaxy but a good amount.
I don't really even keep up with it much, but imagine what VR can do now. Imagine how awesome science classes can be now and astrology
we never will be like that.
cause humans are unable to work together. if we would put all resources all knowledge together and try to survive as 1 human species, it could work.
but we have america, and they want to be the strongest force on earth so it will never happen, that we reach stage 1 civilisation.

@@ThatScythe We're absolutely nowhere close to anything like that kind of technology.
And you mean astronomy, not astrology.
One of the best scenes of the film. Truly shows the vastness of what we don't know and just how small of a piece earth was in this cosmic puzzle.
In real life the earth is even way smaller ,pale in comparison with the universe
there are about 100 billion planets in each galaxy, and there are more galaxies than grains of sand on earth. let that one fry your brain a little lol

Perhaps one of the most beautiful moments in the entire Alien franchise.
agree, i watched it in Imax theater, i felt i was in there with David in the Orrery...Incredible feeling i had at the time.
@@whisperingwind7 I can only imagine.
@@dinglerange not xenophobic, but Xenomorphic
That's about the only redeeming quality about this mess of a movie filled will dimwits and clowns'/!!!
It's a really beautiful film, shame the rest of the film is absolutely shit though.
The thing that intrigues me most in this beautiful scene is the method of starting the ship: a simple melody from a flute, which is an instrument that man has made since very ancient times.
Not a key made of some mysterious material, nor a sequence of buttons to press, nor some technology that requires a genetic code or some other devilry.
Something simple and banal.
Although engineers are a destructive race on par with humans, there is at least one trait in common.
Engineers are far more evolved than the human race and therefore know that physical reality is made up of frequencies and vibrations.
One of the most incredible scenes of this film .
Pabru Roliver hay man i meed a dawnlode link
The soundtrack is amazing
Fi Skirata I do rather like Marc Streitenfield's score.
Agreed I like that it got sort of reused in alien covenant. It was a good addition when mentioning the events of the first movie.
daa daaaa daaa dadada da daaaaaahhhh!!
Quite possibly one of the best scenes in the movie, alongside the alien removal scene, and the Prometheus landing sequence.
yes, I agree.
@@philw9436 And also David's introduction scene. Really telling what he was doing all that time on the ship, whilst everyone else was in hypersleep.
People say this was a bad movie for not supplying answers and raising more questions, I say this was more of a one part of an introduction to lengthen the mystery bit on the Engineers, it sure got my attention...
Kenneth Satria got my attenetion too. The engineers made themselves to be genetically perfect. They decided to create mankind but then changed their minds and wanted them all dead. All we know is the end result. The engineers created the xenomorphs and they are bio weapon made to wipe out other lifeforms.
Kenneth Satria It worked because now all I see from comments for the new Alien: Covenant trailer is "Where are the Engineers?!" "Why aren't they in the movie?" - First people were pissed about having no aliens, now they get aliens but are pissed about not seeing Engineers. People are never satisfied.
Huh, well that's how fans usually react to new things.
I say we should just wait to see what the directors are gonna do, too much in one movie or repetition can mean disaster for a franchise, first we get the introduction to the engineers and then in Covenant we get to see the origins of the xenomorph species... a delicate pacing is in order to get the most out of things and so far it is very logical,
Here's hoping the predators will get involved sometime later...
I really like those guys
How in the world this movie reviewed poorly is beyond my comprehension. I thought it was brilliant. Especially in a time where 98% of new movies are complete crap.

It was probably too complicated for the non fans compared to the alien movies when you ironically know what to expect, possibly boring to watch in cinemas?
So many eons of lost history in one scene! David and Elizabeth could have spent a lifetime exploring the Engineers' realm but no, Covenant ruined it.
Yes they could have. I believe/know this is what Shaw had wanted to do, but David has his own plans for "creation".
You blame Covenant, but how else is the story to progress and what do you think the main purpose of the Alien franchise/universe or a horror/slasher movie supposed to be?
That's what I think the very beautiful thing is about Prometheus and Shaw's character is they give the series the philosophy, wonder, and hope for what's out there in the universe and from our creators, yet you have to remember, this is an alien horror movie, and yes, even realistically us meeting other aliens/life forms could actually be hostile and be our own undoing. Also our own creation (David/AIs) can be our undoing as well and without the proper empathy and morals, David sees the flaws in his own creators and other life forms and wants to use the Engineers weapons of genocide to wipe out life to start over again. How his mission ends is unknown yet
@@ThatScythe I actually had a vision of Shaw and David stopping at the various worlds we saw displayed in the Orrery scene. Every one would provide a piece of the puzzle for Shaw and David would learn and grow beyond his initial programming. There could have been many sequels but, after watching Covenant several times it occurred to me that this branch of the "Alien" tree jumped the shark with John Denver.
"Alien's" trajectory is well known.
"Prometheus" could have been the basis for a Lara Croft-style adventure series. We've seen Xenomorphs, Predators, and now Engineers. The story of why none of them have been encountered by the time of "Alien Resurrection" could have been a good one, but it appears that Disney would rather put its money into the Star Wars universe.
That was my one problem with Alien Covenant. It could've had Elizabeth Shaw meet the crew of the Covenant, as well as help them out.
Engineers. Mewing. creators ... It doesn't matter anymore the series got rebooted all over *again*
My silly theory about Elisabeth Shaw has been killed off was an attempt to avoid the she were not better than Ripley if you understand me, to avoid Ripley's legacy were be ruined.
The engineers taught David all that he needed to know about their ops, and because it was soo technical his psionic brain recorded every nuance exactly as seen.
Saw this in the theater and this scene was absolutely spectacular in 3D! Truly breathtaking.
1:10 I love this sound 🎶 It represents our ignorance and the little thing we are in the UNIVERSE.
I just love how happy David looks here. It's adorable.
An Android actually gets to see all of that beauty and humans only get to see a madman. FUCK!
i was about to type the same thing
There's No One Left FUCKBOY, THE UPLOADER SAID NO SPOILER, DON'T BE A BITCH AND RESPECT.
Yeah don’t be a bitch
Yeah don’t be a bitch bro
Cuz humans r inferior to androids, they're the next stage of evolution
The best thing about this scene is how wonderful the feeling of ignorance and discovery is. We were amazed at the discovery of another alien's day at work, yet what they were working on was to exterminate humanity.
02:57 The Engineers didn't pay their electric bill.
LOL
Just choked on my drink
Robert arrived..😮
😂
Ridley scott if you see this, you have done a perfect job, taking HR Gigers work to another level, Please continue the path on the engineers and discontinue the alien creature for some time, this is just amazing!
Makes me want to be a scientist and find something unimaginable.

This is late, but he meant creation without sexuality.

B a n e ok space ranger
David Fassbender is such an amazing actor. The credit that he gets from these comments about his facial expressions, makes my heart melt.
You have to admit Prometheus has such an amazing soundtrack
My favourite part is a piece called "Debris," and it plays right when the ship is plunging to the ground and dropping fiery pieces of the Prometheus with it.
I want to press that button .

Incredible film, I think this one will stand the test of time far better then most of the movies being put out at this time.
MonkeyZorr Like asshat?
And covenant will rot as one of the worst
This movie was absolute garbage with an incredible premise and concepts.
@Luke Wilson You okay there bud? Did someone hurt you?
The movie begs its audience to dig into the mythology of the various creation stories. If you do, you'll find some very interesting information.
Starting with the flute played in E phrygian E G F E .... and the proto indogermanic language which was spoken by those humanoid beings etc they coming from da east but a very far away east 😂😂😂
and become existentialist, or should i say ubermensch? enlightened? couldnt agree more, dude. love kind of movie that make people "get out of the cave"
Like what?
Mythology? Fantasy?
Ok bonne nouvelle beaucoup bien fidèle
I really love the music in here, so so much inspiration and one of the most greatest instruments!!!
Play you're own flute
The movie is flawed, but when people say it's "terrible" I can't take it seriously because of scenes like this. What a powerfully shot and directed scene.
Prometheus is a terrible, awful mess of a movie. The fact that its visually stunning doesn't save it, it makes it even more disappointing.
It’s more than just visuals, it’s the way the visuals, music, and acting work together to give off the sense of wonder. That’s what separates art from trash. It’s able to capture the human experience
Such an underrated movie.. my favorite sci Fi movie ever.
MonkeyZorr yo you should learn to respect people's opinions. no one is asking for you to say this is yours favorite but people are entitled to this opinions and decide what they like or don't.
MonkeyZorr I've seen about all of them :)
Anthony .O
Same mate, same !
Yes bro
David's face once he realised how vast the observable universe actually is. Priceless
That isn't what he realized.
Was it possible for David to feel awe or joy at that moment? It was quite a display!
Ok this scene is so so magnificent that i can´t describe it. I feel like a child during Christmas. The reason I love Ridley Scott and his work.
Till this day, this movie is still my most favorite movie
Everything seems so tender and the music is magical if it weren't for the fact that what they are doing is aiming at planet Earth to destroy all traces of civilization. It is a chilling and terribly inhumane scene.
How is this not one of the coolest scenes in cinema. Prometheus has *so much* going for it, I can't call for its retcon in the Alien series. It's just too moving as its own film to warrant the displacement of this film from the series, seriously guys. Some of the best directing here in such a long time. We'll never see Prometheus heights again.
This scene evokes a sense of wonder.
A superior species No Doubt that quote gave me chills this movie who is the best sci-fi movie I've seen 10 times. The first time I saw that chair I told myself that is a most beautiful chair I have ever seen.
Sanyikun vs Superman
and not a single person anywhere in social media not i've mentioned just how epic the music is on this movie and the covenant. Epic
This movie get's way too much hate, its a 9/10 in my book, beautiful film.
MonkeyZorr Yes
Hey dude stay with your Disney movies then. WOW u know Bambi Cinderella .Snow White and the rest
I was loving it... but then it abruptly ended just when I thought it was going somewhere.
Alien fanboys
I agree sure it had a few flaws like a handful of dumb scientists but it also had so many intriguing ideas which deserved to be explored further in sequels. Looking back i honestly believe the hate stemmed from the fact some Aliens fans out there were worried Ridley was going to move completely away from the Xenomorph creature and they wouldnt see the Alien again, and thats why they so heavily attacked the movie.
But i think if fans would have only been patient and given Ridley a chance, i firmly believe he was simply exploring the Engineers the ones who discovered the Xenomorph eggs and started experimenting with them, resulting in the urns. I think if Ridley had been allowed to carry on he would have connected things up perfectly into the original Alien film, and by that point he could have stepped aside and there would have been so much expansion and things opened up, for Neil Blomkamp to come in and do his planned Alien 5 movie.
Trouble is Ridley kind of gave in to these picky, impatient and cynical group of Aliens fans, trying to please them with Covenant, instead of sticking firmly to his overall vision and making that movie exactly how he wanted.
*This was a cool scene. ✅😎*
Yo cheeks 😎
What’s even cooler is the whole backstory on who/what/when/where, of these “engineers”. I wish they made a whole series (not just a series of movies) on this. There’s a channels that got into the whole thing!

"I'll do the fingering."
David's reaction is the same I would give if I were in a situation like this! Extraordinary.
Disney, please continue the story and themes of Prometheus! So many fascinating questions about the origins of humans and engineers are yet to be answered! It’s these kinds of questions that create timeless science fiction stories.
Been watching this scene for thousand of time... especially that flute part...!!!!
Awesome scene. We got our hands in the cookie jar and knowledge we didn't earn...we learn that we're not top dog and yet see a glimpse of what's beyond us...
I luv this scene this and the opening prologue are my fav scenes in this film, its just such a shame how its all gone we're most likely never going to get a continuation of the Engineer's and another sequel now to really connect everything up.
Really obsess with this scene, fascinated how advanced a space-travelling life form could be, though this is a sci-fi horror alien film
like from the beginning to the half of the movie was about science and shit, and then it did a huge jump to horror movie
They'ed be way beyond our imagination. We’ve built supercomputers that’ve already left Commander Data hopelessly obsolete by today’s standards
Technology is just a tool. Their evolved culture will also be way beyond our imagination, like outgrowing the monetary system and wars. Once you can travel in space, you don't need to fight under unlimited resources.
Jimmy KEL Actually their tech looked a bit crude and outdated if you compare the UI and instrument panels with our planes and fighter jets or even trucks. Probably their spaceship technology and design have evolved over this time
@@renovatiovr Outdated ? their race is traveling space and seeding life on countless galaxies for billions of years and humans are just started colonizing planet for not even hundred years in this movie. Engineers don't need to evolve anymore they already reached their highest point cultural or technological wise. Their ''machines'' are just their preference they don't even need to flex their superiority, don't you understand just by looking at their flute activating system ? traveling universe and seeding or harvest life is just another day for them, also do not forget their ship didn't even get scratch from kamikaze attack in the end.
Earlier in the movie they show our star maps, ships and tech, then in this scene they show how advanced the Engineers star maps, ship and tech were 2000 years ago. Look at Davids expression at .40, was that part of the script? Makes me grin every time.
And to think this was ancient tech for the Engineers.
This movie had so much potential and so many beautifully shot/rendered scenes. But I feel like Ridley Scott got cold feet in pursuing and pushing the Engineer narrative even in this movie. he could have expanded upon the theme of "creators" (Engineers) meeting their "creations" (humans), who had themselves in turn created life (androids). But they tried to bring things back to the Alien monster movie template and further abandoned the Engineers storyline in Alien: Covenant. I actually liked Covenant, but admit that Ridley should have ignored critics and stuck to his guns.
I remember how beautiful this scene was in 3D
👍
It's funny I always thought that subtle note played at 1:48 was such a beautiful and mysterious addition to the soundtrack. I only just realised it was a sound effect in unison with the circle lights.
0:10 "Hey Fred, these hard-boiled eggs that Joe brought for the film crew lunch today taste kind of nasty!"
"Yeah! Maybe we can use the rest of them on the set for something?"
So magnificent! Even David was in awe.
Production Design is fantastic, Fassbender’s acting is, as always, superb, the rest is a mishmash of half decent snips of ideas. A pity, it could have been a really thought provoking franchise.
All those years while crew was in cyro David was becoming more Human than ever then decided "im beyond them im god" same as how engineers created human who think theyre god
Fans of Alien franchise spoiled this trilogy. It had IMMENSE POTENTIAL. But no... "We want more xenomorph killings"
Exactly. They fucking killed a good thing.
They really did. God forbid theres a story to build up to that point.
Boo hoo 😂
lol you want a two female character crushed by rolling donuts ?
Absolutely right
I guess I was not ready to appreciate this film 12 years ago... But I just finished watching again for the 2nd time and my god, this film is BEAUTIFUL.
A truly great moment in cinema despite a very flawed film.
One of my favourite scenes which I think about often.
I keep telling people that it was called _Prometheus_ not _Alien: Prometheus_ for a reason. If you can overlook some ordinary side characters and dialogue in the script, it was a great standalone film.
Sanyikun vs Gyöngyi Balogh
Sanyikun vs Kardashian Sanyikun vs Terence hillll
Interesting scene especially given the recent media interest in unexplained vehicles and craft seen in our skies. More intelligent beings have been here and visited for alot longer than we think. Life has always existed beyond what we know .
If we really knew the truth, we couldn't handle it because we aren't ready for something that large.
This scene was amazingly done..a great movie...much better than it's sequel.
This is probably my favourite scene in the entire movie
They should just make a 2 hour movie of someone in a futuristic Orrery....It would do well.
A room so fascinating even an android, David, was in awe
David wasn't smiling because he discovered the Engineer, he smiled because he now can put into motion the plan to put everything else expendable... This proves the company then and now in Alien onward were only interested in getting that life form back into their greedy hands at whatever it takes, even at the stake on the lives of the Prometheus crew.
Ah, so that's why David poured a drop of alien goo into Holloway's drink.
Same behavior like Ash, only more sneaky... Artificial Humans... You can't trust them...
odiemodie1
Bishop however...
Ah, yes... Bishop... But dang it, the good droid had to get skewered, ripped in two, then dumped into a garbage pile in the end... But for David, he deserved getting his head ripped off.
I dont think they have discovered the real 'engineers' of humans/earth,,these look and act more like the so called ''fallenangels'' hence their androgenity and strong desire to destroy humans. He was in hybernation because of the bioWMD they made (for other angels'' perhaps) got out of control,,Like the lead protagonist says ''an outbreak'' and also the captain states that its probably a military ship. They are seemingly engaged in a conflict with other similar advanced beings. And there is also the obvious fact that they are not that much better then us as we can travel like they do and offcourse as demonstrated outwit them and kick their arse..;-)The AI I thought was very believable, I think he smiled because he had good news for his father to make him proud, as the father obviously preffered the AI as son instead of his own flesh&blood daughter,. However i doubt that the AI is really trustworthy because of his line''doesnt every child wish his parents dead''. So although being AI he does illustrate human characteristics. This film is a Brilliant fantastic piece of art if you ask me,,with so many layers to it, and meaning. Hope they will make a part 2 where we get too see other ''angels'' and perhaps a glimpse of the real ''engineer'' and much more.
The part where he puts his head up to the cryopod.. it's incredible in 3D.
Got it in 3D and i REFUSE to see it any other way 👍💯💯💯
I think that Fassbender was channeling Marty Feldman and Igor at that moment.
I like how half of Prometheus captures your imagination and appeals to the child in you with all of its imagination like Halo and the other half has the typical gross-out stuff you would expect from an Aliens movie.
I never get tired of watching this
Definitely a film I found myself reevaluating after Covenant released earlier this summer. Both films tell a large portion of what the old ALIEN: Engineers draft wanted to before Lindelof's involvement changed it's tangent into Prometheus which is interesting for the way it makes the Engineers more significant, now the work of ALIEN:Awakening will be to tie it all together in a satisfying way for 1979's ALIEN to be setup...
Wow
The production design, cinematography and visual effects of this movie were top notch 🙌
Remarkably, refreshing noble moment in a franchise that prides itself on what amounts to trying to outdo the first 10 minutes of Saving Private Ryan with claws instead of bullets.
apart from with a graceful style lacking in the first 10 minutes of Saving Private Ryan.
I could use clarification. I'm not sure if you're agreeing, disagreeing, or reviewing a movie.
HotaruZoku I'm implying that excess camera shake isn't graceful in my view
Ah. Agreed, then. It's a bit overdone if nothing else.
The engineers make light travel to distant galaxies look just as easy as me driving down the street in my car. Unreal.

DAVID HOLDS ALL OF OUR MEMORIES
If you haven't seen this movie with surround sound and subwoofer. I suggest you re-watch this movie with it. Absolutely worth it!
Agreed. I'm running a Pioneer Elite receiver with Phasetech towers and a 10 inch powered sub. Glory.....
I don't understand why people don't like this movie. It's fantastic. Literally everyone I knew who went to go watch this in 2012 were being such haters
DHGlee2013 its mainly the fact that we don't get answers about the engineers and that they thrown in stupid sci fi horror tropes
because of their stupid god man thats way
On its OWN, it's fantastic. As part of the overall Alien franchise, it's a horrible inconsistent mess. People went in expecting a prequel to "Alien" and instead got a piece of visual art.
Fantastic scene, what a great movie
Shaw: "David we shouldn't touch anything!"
* David touches everything *
I strongly agree
I think there is a paradox in this scene with David holding earth and expressing Joy.
0:43 .... is David actually SMILING to himself?! For having his own throne?
Good catch I've never seen that before
This movie kombined with Covenant is a masterpiece. Love it❤
Supercool, and this with the Style from The Original HR -Giger :) Great, Awesome. I love it
If y'all like this scene, there's a pair of games for Virtual Reality, The Gallery, that have a very similar tone and feel to them in many parts. But, it's VR, so the sense of wonder is magnified like tenfold. lol.
As much as I love this scene, I personally believe it would’ve felt a lot stronger if instead of using “Life” from the beginning of the film, it would’ve used “End Title” from Alien. I feel that this movie uses “Life” a little too much, and that this would’ve been the right moment to use the theme from Alien, both for means of a throwback to the past, and giving a musical presentation of the vast and infinite universe that this scene- and the original Alien- revolves around.
i love this scene.
Crying in this emotive scene👽😍😢
Prometheus has a lot of faults but scenes like this, with its special effects, stage design, costumes, lighting, editing and Fassbender's performance really are memorable.

Scooby-Doo is better than both
Absolutely. Ridley Scott directed it…that’s why.
@@jamestcallahanphotographer ridley scott also directed covenant
nope. they are connected and are equally amazing
The idea of an artificial mind created a species of predator is too much even in Alien reality. An AI can be clever and advanced but lack one thing. A soul.
I find it amazing that David who is an android is absolutely amazed by the map. Even to an artificial person it’s a wonder
Yeah, true indeed, even in AGI form, hes still mesmerized by the highly-advanced tech of the other alien civilization. 🤖👽👽👽😄
That knowledge was equivalent of humans finding earth is not the centre of solar system.
A moment of pure art. My favorite in the whole movie.
There are some scenes in movies that are just “satisfying”. This is one of those scenes.
Also, this highlights David's selfish inner nature and belief of moral superiority and his utter disgust with his human friends and family (even Shaw who he claims to be in love with) .... he kept this beautiful video to himself and never let the others watch it on playback. And it would have been the most meaningful thing to both Elizabeth Shaw and his "father", whose entire existence revolved around the search for answers and meaning and beauty to the universe. 😂 and he just makes himself cozy in the pilots chair A.K.A. Davids throne, where he smiles, knowing it's all for him.
Would have been in David's best interest to use the "DREAM HEADSET" On the Architec, while he was sleeping, to maybe learn of his intentions (once awakened)
If the technologies could even mesh, ya, that would have been smart.
Fassbender was so brilliant in the role of David. He and Noomi Rapace were perfectly cast
I saw this movie when it opened in 3D. This scene was fucking amazing. Apparently while they were filming this scene, Ridley Scott put Pink Floyd’s DSotM on to set the mood. Fuckin’ A.
visually , this movie is stunning
Question - there are 5 pods in that circular control room and we can see 3 Engineers in all. One on the chair controlling things while the other two go into hyper sleep. What happened to these 3 Engineers? One was still asleep till David woke him up...what about the other two?
Remember seeing this in 3D when I was 9 Prometheus the alien franchise has its core memories with me
