This film IS the modern version of Alien. I know it's a prequel, and it is quite a good one at that. It’s not amazing but it’s what I would have wanted from Alien and what, I’m assuming, people got from Alien when it came out. It does a very good job of showing us things that could have led to the events of Alien while still leaving room for questions and another film. One thing that I particularly love is the fact that this franchise continues to view women as strong characters who can put complex puzzles together and can push through and survive when no one else can. Women are complex and intelligent and daring. I've heard many complaints that this film isn't enough of a prequel, and I completely disagree. I think that people look at a prequel and expect it to be the events immediately leading up to the beginning of the first film. If anything, this prequel is more so establishing the world in greater depth and allowing us to piece together the information and fill in the gaps so that we get to the beginning of Alien on our own (or with the help of a sequel/prequel).
