The Blu-Ray does have a few extended scenes that reduce the "stupid scientists" rushing into a strange alien ruin without acting like scientists feeling. But then if you listen to all the commentaries it becomes clear that there is a much, much more that was cut for flow and time.
Having helped make a feature film I get how hard that is — every movie has to go through a difficult editoral process in some way. I definitely felt that Prometheus plowed through a lot of exposition too fast even in a long theatrical runtime. The extended scenes are paced much better, with more drama and emotional acting, but I can also agree with why they were cut.
It's possible that Prometheus is a bit too ambitious for a single film, but even with Scott's clout it wouldn't have been made if it were two films tied together.
