As somebody who has seen Alien and Aliens, and liked them but wasn't crazy about them, I can say that I actually think Prometheus was pretty good. It got a lot of hate from Alien series fans, but I don't see why. Is it because it's only loosely related to the franchise? Who knows. All I can say is that it's a good sci-fi film.
In theory, it's kind of the same story we have seen in not only other sci-fi films, but the other Alien films. That being said, the way it's executed in Prometheus works. It adds it's own flair to already existing ideas in the sci-fi genre. I also found the plot and it's themes to be quite clear, where as I have heard a lot of people complain that it makes no sense. I really don't understand that complaint. Yeah, not EVERYTHING is explained, but it doesn't need to be. The main ideas were explained, and that's whats important. It's also heavy on themes of faith and creation, and I liked the way it explored these themes. I also must say I really loved the very last scene that connects it to Alien. I won't spoil it, but it's really awesome to see.
I do hope there is some kind of sequel or continuation. It builds on the world of the Alien franchise, and I find it fascinating. I personally can sometimes find the lore of a sci-fi film or series to be too much, but I really like what they were going for here, and want to see more.
