I cannot say how much I was looking forward to this film - from when it was actually going to be full Alien prequel, to the stand-alone version we have now. Ridley Scott is an amazing director, who pays so much attention to the detail, which then stands out.
I liked Prometheus, but that's it. It is a good film, and worth watching. But it did not live up to the hype in my eyes - nothing jumps out which makes me think that this film is something special. The story is good, the direction is good. But not in the same league as Alien, Blade Runner, etc...
