i think we will be disappointed...

i am a fanboy but not nearly as worthy as many on these forums However.. i cant help thinking i am going to be disappointed by prometheus It will be quite a different kind of movie to Alien - to me, that is a masterpiece. It is superbly paced, atmospheric, a real tense thriller, and at the time (well actually to this day) it presents some staggeringly original concepts that well, i just dont think can be surpassed. The plot of Alien was real simple, with one or two subplots. But from what i have seen and read here of Prometheus, it seems like it is trying to be too much. I think Alien was made as a niche movie, it shocked in its day and gained cult following. A bit like Terminator and comparing that to the rest of the T franchise. Anyhow, and i want to be wrong on this, i think Prometheus looks a it too glossy, too elaborate, like it is trying too hard because it is trying to come out of the shadow of Alien. ANd, significantly, the Studio sees a cow that it wants to milk. But i guess that is 21st century commercialism (and consumerism!).
