Unfortunately, in one interview, Ridley Scott stated that he's adamantly against releasing an alternate or extended cut of Prometheus. Therefore, to experience the complete version of the movie, we must turn to the Blu-ray edition at extra materials.

We’ll cover every single removed sequence in chronological order many of which are not even included in the Blu Ray edition and can only be found in extra materials.

Some of them are a few minutes long, such as the deleted engineer dialogue and the extended engineer fighting scene with Dr. Shaw. However, others are just short clips lasting a few seconds. Despite the abundance of material, I will do my best to condense all of it into this 14-minute video.

The first deleted scene, often referred to as the alternate opening, depicts the arrival of engineers on Earth. In the movie, we simply see the lone engineer standing in front of the waterfall. However, in this deleted scene, a group of engineers accompanies the sacrifice engineer to the edge. The elder gives him a cup containing the Blood of the first deacon, a god-like creature the engineers worshipped. As we’ll see later in the video, Engineer’s blood is actually black, which explains why the pathogen or the black goo is of the same colour, because Engineers were trying to recreate the blood of the first deacon.

Thousands years later when Hollowway and dr. Shaw discover carvings in an ancient cave Before they enter the cave, there is a short deleted clip of dr shaw smiling, to which Holloway responds, "You're smiling."

When the Prometheus ship on the way to LV 223, an alternative scene depicts David crying while watching 'Lawrence of Arabia'. Unlike the theatrical version where he just watches the movie, the deleted sequence reveals a more emotional David, showing him shedding tears.

While checking in on the Prometheus crew members, David also visits Wayland in cryo sleep which was removed fom the movie. David enters Wayland's dream, where the billionaire is relaxing on a yacht in the middle of the ocean, appearing as a younger version of himself. David informs Wayland that they are nearly arrived, which angers Wayland because David disturbed him before completing his objective. Early concepts portraying Wayland's yacht can be found on Blu-ray, but the production rejected this scene even before filming.
Next, there's a deleted scene between Melburn and Fifield. After awakening, everyone meets other crew members, and Melburn mentions that his fingers are still numb from cryo-sleep. Fifield responds that nobody has ever been in cryo-sleep for so long before as they have.
Then just before the crew meets Weyland's holographic projection, there's a deleted scene with Yanek decorating the Christmas tree. Vickers tells him to join the rest of the crew for the presentation, but Yanek insists that his only job is to operate the ship, so he doesn't need to know anything about the mission. Christmas is another reference to Jesus Christ in this movie that was removed and there is another deleted segment of Janek signing ho ho ho that only appears is some trailers.
Right before the briefing there is a short deleted clip of Shaw saying, "They're going to think we're crazy." and hollows responds “Yeah. They’re not if you keep it scientific”. When Holloway shows the same star formation depicted in many locations on earth there's another deleted clip of Fiefield saying it's a map to which show response it's an invitation.
After the briefing, there is a deleted segment of Shaw being upset at Holloway for not backing her up during the presentation, when Fiefield and other crew members were skeptical of Shaw's research.
The next deleted scene occurs in the pyramid and showcases Melburn making an unsettleing discovery of a small worm in the black liquid, which is followed by David calling it "our first alien." This short scene was removed, but it kind of justifies Melburn’s unwavering curiosity, leading him to a horrifying fate.

The next deleted clip is of the sacrificial cup in the ampule room. Initially, instead of the green crystal, there was the sacrificial cup, the same one that we saw at the beginning of Prometheus, and it was seen in one of the trailers. However, in the later stages of production, it was replaced with the green crystal because the movie decided to not explore the Engineer storyline.
