Awesome, yet not true to the original movie.

Rating: 9/10 (5 June 2012)

As a prequel to Alien I thought this movie would be a little more inter- connected.
Fans of the original, such as myself will be left with more questions than answers.
Was that the moon they found the ship on in Alien for example? In Alien the first thing the team finds when they enter the ship is the Space Jockey sitting in the seat with the hole from the chest burster in its chest.
Yet in Prometheus the ship crashes, he gets out & the alien bursts out of him in the life craft ejected by Prometheus. This is a minor detail to people who haven't seen the first movie, but a major one to those of us that have.
Obviously the alien that bursts out of the "Engineer" is the Queen.
Onto the rest of the movie, thoroughly enjoyable. Loved every minute (apart from where she surgically removes the alien & her own womb).
3D was top, effects were brilliant & H.R. Gigers designs are legendary once again.
A sequel to the prequel? Yes please!
