The bitch might be back, but this time it's hardly war
2012's Prometheus was
rightfully ill-received, given its unbelievably incoherent plot and the
convoluted mess that was the origin of the once-simplistic xenomorph, not to
mention a horribly out of place back story about the creation of both the alien
species and mankind itself. From there it seemed only hopeful that its
follow-up, designed to act as both sequel as well as yet another irrelevant
prequel to 1979’s Alien, would be an
opportunity for director Ridley Scott to at least retcon those mistakes and go
back to basics, returning us to the horror roots that made the original and two
out of its three direct sequels work.
