Not what us "Alien-onodo's" were expecting

Rating: 2/10 (28 September 2014)

OK, I'm gonna assume at this point most of us Alien-onados have seen this poor excuse for a prequel, and you're continuing to come back here to try and make light of just what the heck happened. So, this isn't so much of a review, as it is an attempt to send Ridley a message on how he TOTALLY blew the plot, and my own attempt at some self therapy on trying to make this right.
Like you, I saw ALL the Alien movies, stopping of course at the "Alien vs. Take Your Pick" series, so when I heard that a Ridley Scott Alien prequel was on the horizon, I was elated.
Well, I was disappointed. Not because of the crappy casting, crappy acting, crappy realism, and all the other stuff you've already read here, it was because it DIDN'T GIVE US WHAT WE WERE EXPECTING!
Mr. Scott, what we were expecting in a prequel was quite simple; The story behind the Alien ship wreckage on LV-426. How did it get there? Where did it come from? What race piloted it? How did it become infected? Etc., etc. A movie that brought us right to the door step of Alien 1. Yeah, some of those things were answered in Prometheus, but that's not at all what we really wanted.
Ridley, it's not to late. Perhaps you were thinking long term? Perhaps this was a "prequel prequel?" If it was, there's a minute chance you can save yourself. If anybody could pull it off, you could.
So, let's get this pseudo review near the top by hitting the "Yes" button. Just maybe, just maybe, Mr. Scott will take notice.
