Xenomorphic Bullet Points

By setting a new pattern with each film, Alien movies previous to Prometheus established a pattern: each presented an SF take on a separate, established genre.

Alien: slasher movie in space.

Aliens: war movie on an alien planet.

Alien3: prison movie on an alien planet.

Alien Resurrection: action/comic book movie in space.

One of the many odd choices about the new flick:

Prometheus: sci-fi movie on an alien planet.
