Prequel??

Have always been a bit facinated by the Aliens movies, so was curious when I some weeks ago went to the cinema and saw Prometheus.


I am a bit thorn. Is this movie supposed to be a prequel to the Aliens movies? Or it is a movie on its own where the director is playing with "What really happened with Prometeus?" as the first Alien movie actually refer to these events?

A lot of great actors in this movie, and you do get to see an interesting dilemma, that you did not see comming so that in itself keeps you in suspence throughout the movie. And then when you leave the cinema you can not help think if the movie is hinting for a sequel of its own.

I didn't see it, but my husband did - I used to enjoy those kinds of movies but admit I'm squeamish now about the fright/gore factor that appears in a lot of these. I think the director was deliberately ambiguous about whether this really was a prequel or a standalone. I'll talk to my husband about some of the questions you have and see what his take it on it. He said it really was well acted and that Michael Fassbender's portrayal of the android was quite good and well nuanced as to whether he was inherently good or evil...
