This sets up the 3rd prequel perfectly. While I wished to learn more about the engineers, there's only so much you can do.
There were also long clips online to give back stories on the David/Shaw travels. As well as the crew pre-hybernation. If you saw that, it gave you a good base.
This movie gave us great insight as to what David was trying to accomplish - though not in depth enough. What exactly he did with Shaw, im still confused. Testing? I also like the udea that David engineered the xenomorph, which really means that humans ourselves are pretty much responsible.
Finally the next (and final) film needs to tie in how the space jokey ship made its way to LV426 along with a ship full of xeno eggs. And obviously who the "final" jockey was we saw on LV426 bursted.

I doubt think that's happening. This was a total mess.

No i dont think it was a mess. It was loose in writing, and some convenient narrative. First look at the film as a stand alone : pretty damn good. It isnt as exciting as prometheus, but does its job. There can easily be a third, needed actually.

yeah, this movie went back to its Alien roots.
very stupid parts that were lifted recognizably
from Alien and the exaggerated, but it was a lot
like Alien in terms of it being kind of silly and
laughable, and yet good as a movie story.
