I must say that I enjoyed it. Michael Fassbender in great form.
I my view it paves the road for linking Prometheus with Alien.

Prometheus actually got better when seeing it a second time before seeing Covenant, but its still the worst Alien movie. I would rate Covenant better than resurrection, which was destroyed with the introduction of the white ghost.

I have been picking up on mix reaction to the film and no one has said it was good. I noticed comments from...another mess to fair and ok.

As far as I can tell the satisfaction/dissatisfaction comes from what you are looking for. If you are looking for pure horror and action, then this is not for you. If you are looking for a combination of the background for the alien movies and action, then this is for you.
In some respect this movie has much more depth than Alien and Aliens, which really dont spend time on the origins of the race, but solely focuses on action/horror/suspense.
This movies does not go into detail about the Engineers, but focus more on the bridge between Prometheus and Alien.

I will be buying it in three months time as stated cheaper for me. Any how as you say folks look for different aspects in films as i do. I look for a good story line and well acted and not over the top cgi effects.
