In reply to Chive Talkin\':
What was wrong with Prometheus? I rated it. The palette was appealing, greyscale but with splashes of yellow signifying the "good guys"
A visceral soundtrack and the technology was smooth (touch screens etc and folk standing upright and unrestrained in the landing craft) a departure from the grime of the original films.
My favourite Alien film though is Alien Resurrection for its dark humour.
