Any Chance , this is a reboot?

I have not seen the film yet, however from the start I thought this could possibly be a relaunch especially with certain persons onboard who were also involved with the Star Trek reboot. Similiar derelict, but not the same. Similiar planet but not the same. Similiar aliens like the facehuggers, chectbursters, and original alien, but not exactly the same. Revisiting and reworking of the Space Jockeys. Re-using some of the elements fron Dan O'bannon's original script and some of Giger's designs of the failed Dune project. It almost seems like RS wanted to improve upon the story and then brainstormed a whole bunch of quick vignettes that would look cool, and then tried to ram them all into a story. Instead of just writing a clear story with a beginning, middle, and an end. Some of you may think I need my stories spoon fed to me, but Empire Strikes Back left questions, but was also a complete story unto itself. Thinking about watching the Thing prequel to prepare myself.
