I would have to agree with this assessment. The whole picture is kind of tedious. You are essentially watching recreations of scenes from other Alien movies that were done much better the first go round. This is one of two “Alien/Predator” crossover movies where the title creatures hunt and fight one another and are nebulously connected through various scenarios.

And like I said, we have to relive a lot of the dialogue and monster violence which was handled better earlier in the franchise.</p> <p>One highpoint of this film for me is when the evil corporation with ties to the concept of the Aliens as bioweapons comes out of the shadows long enough to coverup a messy outbreak of Alien infestation and human slaughter in a local population center and delivers some nuclear warheads to flatten the overrun city. Too bad it took nearly two hours for the concerned party to wise up.</p> <!-- AdSense Now!

Cool, economic staging technique! Throw in some guest narration by Burgess Meredith, Jose Ferrer and Jacques Vallee, and you’ve got a very interesting tapestry of UFO reports. </p> <p>Yet, all these years later, the lingering questions remain: What are these unusual objects which behave so abstractly and randomly and do the Powers That Be have a grasp of what they can be or how we are going to deal with them? Of course not. Expect to be in the dark and helpless for another 1000 years.</p> <p>I loved this show. Give it a shot! </p> <!-- AdSense Now!

On the trip, we become aware of the rampant similarity this ship and its crew have to earlier, similar cinematic journeys. Think of “Destination Moon (1950), “Conquest of Space” (1955), and “Rocketship X-M” (1950), to name just a few.

In other words, a bunch of boring bantering.</p> <p>Another distressing element of this film is its view of the female crew member as not being on an equal level with the other men on the ship. The lady is a doctor but is alternately referred to as probably not being the right person for the job and too weak to survive such an arduous trip. That’s forward-thinking screenwriting at its best!</p> <p>Enjoy the two freaky aliens our intrepid travelers stumble upon: A tongue flicking, exposed brain creepizoid and a thinly disguised underwater beasty that is an otherworldly cousin of “The Creature from the Black Lagoon”.</p> <!-- AdSense Now!

I was reminded of Bowie’s “The Man Who Fell To Earth” with its tale of an alien who tries to assimilate into the human race but with tragic results. Johansson’s alien is less conventionally social and does try to adopt some of the rituals practiced by humans but cannot really make the connection. Her alien is finally victimized and destroyed by an all too human monster. Lovely outdoor scenes of Scotland abound and I came away from this movie feeling a little haunted.</p> <!-- AdSense Now!

It was also in this David Fincher directed piece that people started fucking with the alien character itself. We started to see the alien hybrid creature emerge which is meant to add to its character development as it can’t speak and deliver lines of a script. In my opinion, it adds no interest to the story to see an alien burst out of a dog and to try and pick out the new features particular to this unholy mating. LAME! Let’s also not forget that two pivotal characters from “Aliens”, Hicks and Newt, didn’t even make it out alive from the crash of the escape shuttle on the prison planet! It was a very messy creative decision but that is how we started “Alien 3”.</p> <p>It was thus a very pleasant shock to find out that Neill Blomkamp, director of “District 9” and “Chappie” fame, has been tinkering with a storyline that will follow on after the events of “Aliens”! It will be like “Alien 3” and (the dreadful, don’t get me started, another review maybe?) “Alien Resurrection” never existed. Hicks, at least, will live to face another alien challenge!!! Blomkamp is not releasing a lot of details but Ridley Scott will be producing the new film and Blomkamp is writing and directing. What an amazing development in my favorite film franchise! <!-- AdSense Now!

There is nice cast interaction and an effective depiction of a trek across a rather hostile planet. The rollercoaster ride of horror aboard ship which follows the delightful chest bursting sequence is a masterfully concocted spiral of dread. Who is going to confront the gigantic alien next and how will they die? The accompanying video clip showcases scenes which were shot by director Ridley Scott but were ultimately left out of the finished film. These scenes have been incorporated into an “Alien: Director’s Cut” edition of the film which appeared some years back. I think the acoustical beacon scene and the discovery of the cocooned Dallas and Brett are very effectively done. Certainly the inclusion of this material would have fleshed out the characters performed by Veronica Cartwright, Yaphet Kotto, and Harry Dean Stanton. “Alien”, for me, is, simply, a stunning film.</p> <p> <!-- AdSense Now!

The author’s style shows as we witness the amusing philosophical musings of the mostly dirt bag characters and some rather nasty death scenes. Although the outcome is ultimately grim, I find myself watching this movie repeatedly and getting involved all over again in the doomed scenario. A rather amazing work! <!-- AdSense Now!

It appears that there is an alien presence on the planet that has taken over the bodies of one of the space crews. A struggle to survive the alien vampires and escape the evil planet and get back into space ensues. Among this film’s strengths are a very atmospheric, dark, planetary setting, a film shot with deeply saturated color, the intense buildup of paranoia. Barry Sullivan stars. This movie has been cited as a major influence on Dan O’Bannon who wrote the screenplay for “Alien” (1979). There are many similarities including the discovery of an ancient alien ship and it’s fossilized crew members. A nice melding of science fiction and horror elements.</p> <p> <!-- AdSense Now!

It isn’t long before it is a battle between humans and decidedly non-human, monstrous offshoots. “Leviathan” was a movie that appeared in the late 1980’s along with “The Abyss” and “Deepstar Six” to form a mini cycle of sea monster movies that found their inspiration from “Alien”. Peter Weller leads the ragtag cast of actors who make a last stand against a rampaging monster while their evil conglomerate sponsors topside delay any efforts at rescuing their hapless charges. Sounds a little like “Alien” to me. <!-- AdSense Now!

Truly, one of the worst movies I have seen. Cash in on the stalker/slasher and alien film genres popular with movie goers at the time. Here we have an alien visitor to our planet vaporizing innocents with his laser blasting eyeballs. William Devane to the rescue to deliver us from the unwarranted alien barbequing of earthlings. A suitable double bill partner for other frightful turkeys of the ’70’s such as Nightwing, The Car, The Manitou, etc. <!-- AdSense Now!

The sentries detect motion and are programmed to fire upon any intruders tripping the sensors. Needless to say, the ammunition runs out fast as the Marines figure out that they are overrun with deadly Aliens trying every means possible to get to the Marines.
