Prometheus was suppossed to be a throwback to the original Alien film. Alien was known for the atmostphere and strong visuals. If Prometheus accomplishes that, I'm happy. Not expecting good dialogue or script.

Umm...
I don't get it. To me your point sounds something like this:
"I just listened to the Ramones first album and all the songs are really simple and the lyrics don't make much sense. So if the next Blink 182 album rocks I'll be happy."
I fail to see the relevance.
As to which kind of a movie it is;
The first two movies (aka. "the good ones") are really simple survival films with very little plot. (They both do use symbolism very effectively though, which is a big reason for why they work so well.)
Where the next two films are most apparently different is in their open attempts to be more "deep" and have "meaningful dialogue".
I think it should be apparent from the trailer which group this film belongs to.
