SPOILER ALERT. La protagonista de Prometheus muere por David y eso me molesto, sinceramente que fea la película, y darles el papel de estúpidas a las mujeres me ponia nervioso, como se resbalaban y no hacian bien sus cosas, como hacen para mandar a los mejores científicos del PLANETA tierra a una misión en la cual todos mueren estúpidamente. Esta es mi opinión. Lo importante es que es una precuela de alien original asi que no me importa mucho ya que no afecta el producto. Pero si llegan a hacer una secuela de alien que no la arruinen.

It's OK. It didn't blow me away. It got boring quickly and the only reason I watched more than 10 min of it was because I payed for this movie. If I had streamed it from netflix I would've watch another movie. But don't me wrong it wans't a bad movie. The Acting, VFX, cinematography, and costume was good (not exceptional). But the story lacked plot. So I don't think it's worth your time.

I love the Alien franchise (including the much hated Alien 3 but then only in the special edition that irons out some of the bugs). Ridley Scott knows how to film a visually stunning film and this is no exception. The formula is very much the same as the other movies, so do not expect much of a twist. The main flaw for me is the time line. Alien V Preditor set much earlier yet this is a 'origin' movie set much later. Still a good watch however.
