Absolutely not. In fact, I would advise against it.

Honestly the one you "needed" to see was Alien.

3 was decent, I wasn't blown away but I'll watch it. Resurrection was just kinda, meh. The coolest part was when they showed the Alien swimming.

Alien and Aliens are two of my fav movies. I have them both. They both kick arse but in different ways.

its not tied, it just takes place in the same universe. Its well known. They were thinking of doing a prequel type movie but decided to do a totally new story.



Actually, one of the writers has suggested there are unifying elements between Prometheus and Alien other than just being in the same universe. Is it a direct prequel where the end leads directly into Alien? Probably not. But the rewrite did not eliminate all elements of Prometheus being a forerunner of Alien. Read the article.

Don't waste your time with 3. 4 was watchable but not nearly as good as the first 2.

Don't think there is going to be an alien in Prometheus. I think it deals with these "creators."
