The events in 'Prometheus' and 'Alien' can be tied together very easily without there being any inquest into all the smaller details.ĭisclaimer: I'm glad to say I'm an old-school fan of 'Alien' having seen it wayyyy back in 1979 at my local 'fleapit' cinema - one of my greatest ever movies - I dont think 'Prometheus' should be seen as a 'enchancer' and especially nt a 'wrecker' of the 'Alien' legacy!! It mystifies me is why a lot of people are dissatisfied or angry about it. The minor quibbles about 'it should be a skeleton not a suit' and 'it's not as big as the original' or 'where did the ship come from?' or 'how did they make the eggs', etc, etc are so irrelevant, I fail to see why people are suggesting it's damaged the original movie. I was totally happy with the explanation of the mystery of the Space-Jockey from 'Alien' - all the answers are there.

See? That's what it's all about!!'
