LikeMission Impossible, theAlienfranchise produces films that put more stress on creating stylized, singular world than trying to maintain some dull, overworked continuity between the films. Sure, that seems to be less the case withPrometheus,Ridley Scott’s problematic yet highly entertaining return to the franchise following his classicAlien, but up to then, the Alien franchise produced four unique works by four great directors....
