I felt the same way. Had huge expectations but really didn't live up to what I expected from a Ridley Scott Sci Fi film. Leaves too many questions unanswered. Visually though it was stunning.

Great visuals, if your expectation is an alien prequel youll hate it.

Overall I thought it was a good movie that answered and proposed new questions.

It was never confirmed as a prequel to Alien right? I saw it was set in the same universe but was its own independent story.

the presence of the "U"-shaped ship makes you wonder, but if they were going to do a true prequel, the level of technology should have been about what we saw on the Nostromo

I liked it a lot.

It's not a direct prequel to the first Alien movie, in fact, it creates more questions than it answers.
