While [Ridley] Scott has said [Prometheus] began as a prequel to his 1979 classic Alien, then evolved into a stand-alone film, it still feels like a prequel, given how hard it works to place all the Alien pieces on the board by the end of the story. Even more so, though, it feels like an Alien remake for a new era of filmmaking. So many of the characters, plot beats, and design elements are familiar from Alien, it’s actively distracting. But where Alien was grimy and claustrophobic, Prometheus is polished, expansive, and at times breathtakingly beautiful.

Alien Quadrilogy Title Sequence Analysis - Alien, Aliens, Alien³, Alien Resurrection
Note the consistency of design in the title sequences to the Alien Quadrilogy. Note too how they differ. Does each tangent of theme reflect the respective film?

Interview: Sigourney Weaver on the Alien Saga
Good interview. Re-watched Alien for the first time in ages a few days ago, it is such a good movie, and timeless. Scott was a genius.
