I did not see that this movie was the same movie as Alien. I am confused by that statement.
Alien: A crew lands on a planet and discovers a ship. On this ship are lots of eggs, what it births attaches to a crew member. The Android os fascinated by the creature. After a very slow paced 45 mins, the crew finds themselves fighting for their lives, in which a heroine discovers a hidden corporate agenda and is the final survivor.
Prometheus: A crew sets down on an alien planet. They find a facility. Inside are lots of canisters filled with a black goo. The android becomes fascinated with it. A crew member is infected. After a slow opening 45 mins,
the crew finds themselves fighting for survival. A hidden corporate agenda is revealed. A heroine arises to become the final survivor.
Differences: Captain doesnt die early in Prometheus. Promethus has an anthropology and theology aspect to the plot Alien does not. Alien has I think 7 characters, Prometheus has I think 16 so Prometheus had more deaths, perhaps thinner characters (not that Alien was brimming with fleshed out characters either).
