I would completely buy into the Prometheus' tech if it were comparable to that of the Nostromo's -- ... but 3D holographic projections? Not even the same universe as Alien as far as I'm concerned.

I agree fully.

For me personally, that sort of difference is a deal-breaker. I don't make myself struggle with inconsistencies like that. In light of these new trailers and seeing the film's visuals more clearly now, this is most likely a movie I won't bother with.

Alien has been one of my Top Five for 33 years. The derelict ship and the space jockey have been a mystery since the beginning. I can go the distance without ever giving it another thought. Particularly since I've never given it any thought in the past. Probably better anyway. Nothing to unsee or try to reconcile.
