Has Ridley Scott confirmed anywhere that this is to be treated as an Alien prequel? That was the general talk about the movie on the internet. I presume all those disappointed with the movie went with the expectation of it being the prequel. I found a link that explains all the subtle hints which actually is the objective of the movie (can't find it now). Once you go though the same, your understanding of the movie changes completely
He has specifically said that it is not an Alien prequel. It is simply set at an earlier time and does not follow the same storyline.

Cloud Atlas = 10/10 ... easily the best movie I've ever seen! Ordered the book by David Mitchell on FlipKart, should be reaching this week. Will get the BluRay release as soon as it's available
Note to all Nolan fans: Any and all of his work (Memento, Dark Knight Rises etc.) pales in comparison to this masterpiece! All hail David Mitchell !
Going for Skyfall on Sunday too, that's another one I'm looking forward to.
