the first seemed filled with cliches

nothing new, just ordinary but awesome scale and visuals

I found it refreshingly devoid of cliches. Most sci fi casts the scientists as geniuses. The scientists in Prometheius were idiots.

And where the previous Alien sequels indulged in mindless violence and effects, Prometheus was remarkably paced and restrained.

The build up to the abortion scene was pure genius.

The 1st "prequel" left us asking questions and looking for clarity. It seemed to be a movie about origins. But with some thought one might ask; if not only do we get a peek at the origins of the the alien monster, apparently an engineered organic weapon designed to depopulate entire planets of humanity, but also we begin to wonder if the same "engineers' who designed these "aliens" may also have designed us, humanity. And what was our purpose in their scheme?!.

And once the human species comes to realize this, their true origins, what will they (we) do about it. Perhaps the "sequel to the prequel" will address this.

As gloomy and dark as these movies are, I'm quite certain I will not be able to avoid the next installment. Besides, good science fiction movies are hard to come by.

  I will be expecting a twist in the genealogy of everything.

  I think the "Alien" was a mistake on the part of the Engineers, DNA gone wrong.
  What to do with them....?
