Here's a recreation of the flag from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/vexillology/comments/la61kx/flag_of_the_european_union_from_the_movie_event/

Loads of stars on that flag, I think the designers didn't realise the stars isn't the amount of countries in the EU.

I also think all those Europeans in the movie are British :P

I know it makes little sense but every time I see this flag I have to think about the mouth of Kraken with rows and rows of teeth.

u/zozorama Yuropean‏‏‎ Mar 04 '26

Oh yeah, I see it! Also sarlacc pits from Star Wars :D

u/thisislieven l'ewrópælik Mar 04 '26

Yup! That's basically Kraken Embedded.

This was, when I saw it, the scariest movie I'd ever seen.

Btw it's sometimes considered the best Warhammer 40k movie which technically isn't Warhammer 40k. It illustrates the idea of Warp extremely well.

Indeed, that's what happened with brave earthlings before the Gellar field was invented.

PS One of the best space horrors ever.

It's a good one! I love the design of everything, and cool to see Neptune in a movie.

u/Eric848448 Uncultured Mar 04 '26

Same here. It still is the scariest movie I’ve ever seen but it was too.

I had nightmares about Sam Neil the night I watched it

Yeah the EU one isn't terrible, but the one we have now is so clean and nice.

MegaEU

That alt Australia flag just looks off. I think if you're going to replace the union flag then you have change the colours too.

The dark red, yellow and black looks incongruous with the rest of the design.

The current one is perfect
