If you've ever told a critic, "Stop comparing Prometheus to Alien", read this.

Now, read the following statements, and tell me if I'm talking about Alien or Prometheus:

1. An ancillary crewmember cares more about his pay than his scientific duty.
2. A curious crewmember, against all common sense, gets a bit too close to a previously-undiscovered alien life form, and is attacked.
3. A helmet visor is melted by corrosive alien blood.
4. A crewmember gets throatfucked by an alien appendage.
5. A crewmember unwittingly hosts an alien nasty inside his/her body.
6. A much-hyped and pivotal scene involves the "birth" of the aforementioned nasty.
7. An alien parasite violently breaks its way out of its host's chest, killing the host.
8. There is a large, black, slimy, bipedal alien with a phallic head.
9. A company with "Weyland" (OK, "Weylan" if you must...) in the name orders one of the crewmembers to pursue alien biotechnology, even at the expense of his shipmates' lives.
10. One of the crewmembers is an android, and suffers a decapitation. His talking head is seen a little later.
11. There is a good deal of flamethrower action in the latter half of the film.
12. The lead character is an attractive dark-haired female. By the end, she is the only survivor.
13. The female lead, when face to face with her greatest threat, escapes by pressing a button to open a door, ensuring her attacker's doom.
14. The film ends with a monologue from the lead, delivered in the form of a radio message to Earth.

Sometimes the truth hurts. Prometheus is a badly-thought-out, poorly-written mess of a cheapo franchise remake.
