Prometheus was released in Summer of 2012 and sparked both box office revenue and feverous debate. What once was thought to be a single Alien prequel was then on the track to being a "trilogy" of installments. It took five years and almost as many screenwriters before we would return to the world established in 1979.

Has time fared any better to an installment that seemingly won't be followed upon? For those answers and our review of Alien: Romulus next week, stick around for our retrospective!
