I liked Alien and Blade Runner because they were earthy and dark. A lot of Ridley Scott’s films lately have been too shiny. The trailers don’t give me much hope that Prometheus will be a worthy addition to the Alien canon, although it will almost certainly be better than *spit* ‘Alien: Resurrection’...
But, will it hold a candle to 'Alien Vs. Predator" :-)
