No offence to Sir Ridley, but it is illogical to say that only the 'last 8 minutes is a tie-in to Alien' ...why? Because the previous 120+ minutes is a prequel to the last 8 minutes...lol unless the movie switches into another movie completely severing the timeline

@craigamore I was half joking...Yes it would be unwise to call it a prequel because then people would expect just another Alien movie, but set earlier in time. I understand he wants to explore new ideas and is therefore distancing himself from the well known Alien series, a wise decision. We now realise that whilst exploring a different part of the universe that this still is a prequel, and Ridley's initial denial was pretty much part of the marketing strategy...I am digging fun at this, because in a way it was a bit of a fib
