Perlustrando i meandri di una stazione spaziale abbandonata, un gruppo di giovani colonizzatori si trova faccia a faccia con la forma di vita più letale dell'universo. Attenzione: alcune scene di luce lampeggiante possono avere conseguenze sugli spettatori fotosensibili.
At this point I’m not even sure how to review Alien movies. Ridley Scott made a perfect movie with the original and this one basically is all about capturing its sense of claustrophobia. Everything from the design of ships to the all-encompassing, all-consuming Weyland-Yutani Corporation—painted here in much more obvious strokes—is meant to invoke despair, a universe wholly in the grip of monsters out of our deepest nightmares.
The thing is, those words could be lifted out a review of the original movie. What’s new then? Unfortunately not much. This is a movie leas concerned with doing something new with the material as it is with reminding you of its greatness. As a piece of pure homage it works, and even stands on its own in a couple of inspired sequences. But it simply can’t escape the gravitational pull of the original.
