First it was boring ,re watched then it was interesting

Prequels: a film category exuding potential – the putty is there to be molded, but with whose questionable capacity? (2007's Hannibal Rising is almost taking up too much of this word count to even mention. Ugh.) In our case, Ridley Scott returned to the helm and constructed a horror odyssey, impressive in its scale and energy, in the universe of the Aliens series, but removed from its original story (for now let's just overlook 2017's Alien: Covenant).
Scott's Alien (1977, first in the series) is an obvious classic and still slickly stunning, so maybe you didn't see Prometheus because, like, why would he mess with that? Or worse, you did see it, but endured the company of a snobby franchise fanboy whose criticisms pummeled into your own psyche, skewing your perception of what is, in reality, sci-fi horror gold.
So watch it, or re-watch it, but this time really drink in all of those lustrous special effects, meditate a bit on those worthy themes, and maybe even make notes because if you're ever going to have to perform an alien abortion on yourself this may serve as your only reference.
