The people that hate this film tend to like Aliens over Alien, Cameron over Ridley and action over psychological horror.

Rating: 8/10 (3 May 2015)

As someone that likes both Alien films for what they are and realises that they're completely different films that happen to share the same canon and cast I do actually prefer Alien over Aliens just because Alien established the lore, set design and costume design Aliens just built on it but I have to admit Aliens was a great sequel. Aliens is more like Terminator and Predator while Alien is a lot more like The Thing.
Now to Prometheus, the IMDb score does not reflect how good this film is most people seem to think that the writing is poor I disagree with this I think the film tied in very nicely to the previous films; it explained the locations in the previous films that were never explained such as the scene in Alien with the humanoid alien creature operating the turret laser thing (it's been a long time since I've seen either films so I can't remember the names of the creatures).I liked the messages in this film the idea of evolution versus creation was clever. That's about all I can bother to write.
