So I saw the new Alien installment, and let me first off say I was really looking forward to this the universe that Riddly Scott has made is an epic sci-fi one, I personally really enjoyed Prometheus as well so was looking forward to seeing how this film joined into that word once again. This film is very good a good balance of story and throwback to the horror elements that the viewers loved from the first alien film.
This film is about a colony mission a pioneer mission from earth that sees a group of humans wanting to set up a new world on different planet. They then get a transmission from what seems to be a human voice but how can this be so far from earth so they decide to go investigate on a different planet, the planet seems fine until disaster strikes and crew die, and an old face returns.
The film is a spectacle as you would come to expect great CGI and space shots but also the violence from the alien is amazing so brutal and scary something to fear once again. Also its very deep with underling philosophical questions we had started in the Prometheus, the idea of creation god and man is very key to this film. The common trend with films now is the monster really the villain or is it humans.
Stand out performance is from Micheal Fassbender which you would now come to expect, the only man who could make you love him and hate him in the same films ( see the film you will understand what I mean) who also has one of the funniest lines if you ask the MRS #illdothefingering #flutesaredirty The surprise of the film is Danny Mcbride first time ive seen him do something that is comedic and it works so well.
The only downside of the film is the first 40 mins which do drag a bit you don’t really care about the up keep of the ship you want to see the action and the alien you were promised in the trailers.
Overall though this is back to form for Scott like with the Martian you have to see this film and I cant wait for the next installment in the franchise.
My Rating: 8/10
