…I guess that this means that I have to watch Prometheus, then. I’ll admit it: loved the first two movies (for completely different reasons), got turned off by the third, was going to see Prometheus until I heard stuff about it. But if they’re really going to make this series a prequel trilogy then… maybe I’ll give Prometheus and Alien: Covenant a look-see. Maybe.
I saw Prometheus. It is bad. Really bad. I wish I could empty my mind of that garbage. I felt like Ace Ventura when he discovered Finkle is Einhorn.
I saw Prometheus.

Trying to avoid spoilers .. Yeah, it had some serious pacing problems, and some uneven spots, but I found it pretty good overall.
.
If your favorite movie in the franchise is “2” or “3” (aliens or alien3) then .. yeah, Prometheus is probably not the movie you want.
.
If your favorite movie in the franchise is the first one .. and you like how the second and third explained some but wanted more backstory, Prometheus is the movie you’ve been waiting for.

You’ll be yelling “ROLL TO THE SIDE! JUST ROLL TO THE SIDE YOU IDIOT!” and “NO! DON”T DO THAT! WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT? THAT’S STUPID! YOU’RE STUPID!” at a few points…
To be fair, I’m told “run to the side” doesn’t come naturally to people fleeing ‘gators or bears either .. when fight-or-flight switches to “flight”, lateral thinking isn’t high on the list anymore.
.
That said .. yeah, I was shouting at the screen at a couple points too. “Don’t split the party!”
