Prometheus - David in the Orrery

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

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.

[Pinbacker]

Perhaps one of the most beautiful moments in the entire Alien franchise.

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.

[PlanetMatsuzaki]

An Android actually gets to see all of that beauty and humans only get to see a madman. FUCK!

[MrJustonemorevoice]

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.

[renovatiovr]

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

02:57 The Engineers didn't pay their electric bill.

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.

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...

[pabruroliver]

One of the most incredible scenes of this film .

[DenisUspeshny]

can we all appreciate the quality of CGI here? pretty astounding

[LambertBowden]

Makes me want to be a scientist and find something unimaginable.

[spaceflight]

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.

[guysabol]

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.

[masterpenguin]

Quite possibly one of the best scenes in the movie, alongside the alien removal scene, and the Prometheus landing sequence.

[Lulustucru]

You have to admit Prometheus has such an amazing soundtrack

[TheLordSheogorath]

I just love how happy David looks here. It's adorable.

[mainframeomega]

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.

[MegumiHayashida]

David's face once he realised how vast the observable universe actually is. Priceless

[badtothebone]

Such an underrated movie.. my favorite sci Fi movie ever.
