Yup, I too was underwhelmed.
Scott was at pains to stress it's not an Alien prequel and it's a stand alone film. Well, for my money, he's remade Alien just not as good with nowhere near the tension of Alien.
Well made, looks great, well acted but, frankly, watch Alien instead.

To be fair, ANYTHING compared to 'Alien' is going to suffer in comparison, it is probably the finest horror film ever made.
The 3 sequels couldn't come close to matching it, so a prequel doesn't stand much chance, does it?
