The scene is whatever to me. What stunned me was the truly alien design given to Kal'El's spacecraft. Nothing about it is familiar. It's a ship seemingly composed solely of crystal. There are no visible engines, buttons, or read-outs...nothing at all to suggest human engineering or anything humanity is currently capable of. The ship is beautiful. We don't know how it works, but we see it working. It heartens me to know that even though this scene was deleted, that there are still people in Hollywood capable of creating moments of awe-inspiring wonder.
Who knew the Kryptonians were one of the First Ones? ;-)
ADDENDUM: I can't help but wonder if this film would have been better if the script introduced the movie-going audiences to a Superman villain they've never seen on the big screen before. With Kal-El going back to Krypton, it would seem the stage would be perfectly set for him to either encounter or accidentally awaken Brainiac who could have then either followed Kal-El back to Earth or downloaded onto his ship's computer surreptitiously as Kal-El explored Krypton's ruins. And why not? It's been either Lex Luthor or General Zod (and the Brainiac-like stand-in for the third film). Superman does have other villains Hollywood
