analysis - The 'same landscape shot' conundrum

During the first scene of the film we're shown a montage of landscape shots (actually Iceland) as establishment for the section when the CGI 'guy' drinks, disintegrates and drops into the waterfall.


During the scene where the ship 'Prometheus' is flying across LV223 we're shown a similar montage sequence of landscape shots prior to it landing.


There is a sub-second overhead landscape shot that is identical in both sequences.


I can only think of two explanations;



  1. that as multiple hands-on editors were involved in the film an oversight was made and the same clip was reused,

  2. that there is something to this and somehow both are the same place - and yes that would have a very significant affect on the assumption that the disintegrating guy was somehow seeding his DNA on an Earth of the past.


I assume it's the more obvious first explanation but I've found little other reference to this elsewhere. Does anyone actually know an answer to this?
