And you can wait this is a movie that probably should not have been made since it inevitably invites comparisons to aliens a arguably the greatest action adventure movie Ever but if you go in with slightly diminished expectations you can find things to savor in this third chapter in the Saga of Long suffering space Farer it. Ellen Ripley. Ripley Sigourney Weaver just can to catch a break. While in hype sleep on the voyage Home that ended aliens her ship develops problems and crashes on a Remote planet named Fiorina 161. In addition to reducing the android Bishop to bits of scrap the crash also kills Chi. Hicks and the Young Newt the Only other survivors from aliens.

Soon enough the bodies Start piling up and Ripley and the prisoners Are desperately searching for a Way to kill that sucker despite lacking any weaponry More sophisticated than knives and axes. There a never a pulse Rifle around w Hen you need one. As in the first two alien flicks the Overall visual effects Here Are Superb. That a Only to be expected from Boss film studios the same Crew that breathed magic into such fantasy film classics As the Star wars trilogy and raiders of the lost Ark. The aliens scenes Are riveting. When the alien and Ripley have a close encounter and that thing is drooling and hissing inches from her face the hairs on the Back of your neck can t help but stand at attention. Alex Thomson a photography takes full advantage of the spooky shadows and dark twisting corridors of the prison. He gives the film the cloistered feel of a monastery a setting that perfectly fits the convicts Monk like attire and pseudo religious attitudes Thomson also offers something new several scenes shot through the eyes of the alien which gives the viewing Field a slightly stretched look reminiscent of a fun House Mirror. Finally this series continues to set the Standard for using deafening silence at strategic moments to Jack up the terror quotient there a no denying that alien has problems. For one thing it does no to have the peripheral ingredients that made aliens so enjoyable such As the interplay among the hard charging colonial marines the futuristic military hardware and the tense relationship Between Ripley and Bishop. It also lacks a subtext comparable to the intriguing premise of that earlier film which was a Clever commentary on the powerful pull of motherhood. But even though Rookie director David Fincher can to match the sustained pulse pounding excitement of aliens he has crafted a stylish film that owes much of its Appeal to the largely British cast. Despite its flaws alien1 is still a Cut above most of the brain dead sequels churned out by the Hollywood Assembly line. It gets three stars. Sunday june 14, 1992
