I did see Prometheus. There was no dialog in Indo-european, but a robot with advanced linguistic skills recited an Indo-european stanza in what appeared to be research to reconstruct an ancient alien language. When he got to talk to the alien, the latter gets angry, therefore such reconstruction must have been a failure.
