I'd consider anything with Alien-related stuff that preceded the first film a "prequel", but I guess people can call it what they want. A day after seeing Prometheus, I occurs to me that it's concept really wasn't any deeper or more valid than the one presented in the two AVP films (also Alien prequels), which this film seems to be snootily ignoring. I would even argue that those two gave you more popcorn chomping thrills, too.
