Alien hasn't aged a bit. Prometheus will age badly. Alien isn't just conversation, it's contemplation, it's the characters surveying their limits and making either reasoned or irrational thoughts. It's about Ripley's female intuition serving her better than anyone else on the ship, it's about the s...

I'll definitely try to see it as soon as possible an...
