Probably not. They had a bad connection, and the feed only goes to the ship.
This. I loved it and thought it was fantastic, but I'd never even think to compare it to Alien or Aliens. Directed by Ridley or not, the original is and always was where it's at. I never expected this movie to one-up or even match the first. I did expect it to come close and expand its world, which it did. Totally satisfied here.
There are probably a lot of truckers today who wish they had Bill Gates level gear in their mobile home.

The general consensus is Prometheus fails to provide a compelling enough experience to distract most people from the problems.
And how exactly are you generating this "general consensus?" The three nitpickers in this thread, only two of which who have actually seen the movie?
I liked the film. It wasnt at the same level as the first 2, but I still enjoyed it
One great thing is that it really offers something provided by neither of the first two movies.
Alien: Space Truckers being hunted by a single alien.
Aliens: Marines battling a horde of aliens.
Prometheus: Scientists encountering assorted horrors.
That's really cool that each movie provides something different depending on your mood.
To me it's Alien, Prometheus, Alien 3, and then Aliens. There was too much comedy relief in Aliens for me to care about the characters. I like my "Alien" movies a bit more serious and scary than that one. Alien was scary to me and Aliens came off goofy at times.
I'll have to watch Aliens again but my last two-three viewings left me disappointed. I think it's mostly the stereotypical personalities of the marines, but then again I also love them for that so idunno.
Well, I agree. That might not even be my issue with it, but something about the film has been agitating me lately. I'll have to watch it again.How else would they be? Also bear in mind that Aliens was in 1986, the film probably originated the character types that would be imitated time and again in later films
