Seeing what the Xenomorph sees- worth it?

I am probably a rarity to think seeing things from the Xeno POV was a bit of a let down since it looked pretty much like our POV- I sort of wished it remained a mystery. I also know RS had a rationale why we saw it at all in the commentary. What do you think?

I did not really care for it in the movie, but this was kinda fun.

No, I also think that it is a stupid idea. There are some things that they should let us wonder about. 

 

An Alien prequel could explain some things but there are other things that are not that important. Sure we can be given a hint where it comes from but I am not interested in learning if it can smell tings, what they eat, and so on. What I am worried about is that the prequels will explain everything about it because then there is nothing left to think about which would be a shame. The Xeno shouldn’t be a meaningless creature like Bambi. Having the image of how it sees is one thing but we still don’t know how their vision is made up, from a physiological point of view and hopefully we will never learn about that.

I would've preferred something more akin to this...

The terminator was one of the only times I thought that POV was used properly.

Again, though, it's just for the viewer's benefit. An actual Terminator wouldn't want or need to see rasterised Latin script assembly language instructions or words like 'Match' written in front of his eyes, any more than your alarm clock would need to read the time on its display before it wakes you up!

It's nicely done, though.
