I'm pretty sure he said both films had the same set pieces and also the ending was simmilar
Key set pieces in Mountain
- elder things reanimate and attack camp
- shogoth attack
- ending when survivor sees horrible creature and goes mad
Unless there is a deleted extended ending to Prometheus (I suspect this)
That depends entirely on what you consider the core set pieces of 'At the Mountains of Madness'.
If we go by your list:
- Elder things reanimating =
Spoiler
Engineer waking up from stasis
-Shoggoth "attack" =
Spoiler
Chased away by a rapidly mutating/evolving organism. Hmm sounds familiar.
-Ending when survivor sees horrible creature and goes mad =
Spoiler
the revelation that this world of horrors is not the only one and that there are plenty more Jockey ships out there. Also possibly it's the last minute revelation to the audience of a new horror being born. In such a case we are Danforth.
Now lets add what i'd consider the key aspects of 'Mountains'
- Strange murals depicting the life and practices of an elder race =
Spoiler
strange murals depicting the life and practices of the Engineers.
-creation of an elder race being responsible for their demise =
Spoiler
creation of the Engineers race being responsible for their demise.
-Revelation that mankind was created by aliens =
Spoiler
Revelation that life on earth was started by Engineers.
- That there are some things we are better off not knowing about = There are some things we are better off not knowing about.
