Leonard maltins review is in

i might say, this movie got marred by the overhype consequences,trailer giving away too much. i'm a big fan of the alien franchise, but this movie lacked the atmosphere of ALIEN and Aliens ,jerry goldsmith simply was a master of scores. i think it would have been better if the music composer made a more intriguing score, it has no mystery feel to it, that's what i felt after seeing it, other than that the scenery was fantastic, CGI , camera work, but it needed that feeling of mystery, it felt more of an action movie than a sci-fi thriller.

I agree with you completely. I enjoyed the film but the score definitely fell short. What happened to the intense jarring music from the first trailers that were released and The TV spots? As we grew closer to the release date the intrigue and mystery to the music disappeared.

I think that everyone should realize that Alien was not an immediate classic. It took time. Prometheus will be more appreciated as time passes.
