      The android shouts, I am a god

      It begins with a conversation between the android David and his maker who is the creator of mankind. The film's philosophical thinking and exploration revolves around this passage.

      David has consciousness, emotions, ideas and creativity, so he can think and have desires just like humans. And his ultimate goal is only to distort and extend the core of the opening dialogue, who is the creator and who created human beings. He wants to be a creator, he wants to be a god.

      I think it's a reformation of cyborgs and aliens

      My brain hole is: I think Walter is not dead, it is David who implanted the memory into Walter's body. Walter's body is an upgraded version of David, and he thinks that it is very likely that the DNA of biological information (possibly insects or deep-sea creatures) is implanted in the body, so it has the function of self-repair. When David pulled out Walter's memory, he still had some memories in his body, so he woke up and attacked David. At the end of the fight, I think David knew about...

      Subject and Good and Evil

      It is an infinite proposition about good and evil. Whether it is from a human perspective or a cosmic perspective, the conclusions are completely different. In "Alien-Prometheus" and "Covenant", human beings are just a mistake of the creator, just a stage of genetic fission in the evolutionary sequence. To humans, aliens undoubtedly represent evil, but to David, who focuses on species evolution, humans are just low-level organic creatures, their functions are just one-time hosts, nutrition,...

      Hello everyone, I am a dead engineer and I have something to say about my death

      Hello everyone, I am an engineer who died. These are some memory fragments before I died. Quan should leave a memory for my existence.

      Originally, our engineer family lived a carefree life in the universe. When we were idle and bored, we would find planets in the universe to plant some flowers and plants. This breeding process is actually a bit cruel. In order to facilitate us to enjoy the flowers without any obstacles, we will sacrifice a compatriot as a genetic sample to modify the...

      The solemn and solemn sense of ceremony created as a whole is breath-taking, but the story structure is too stereotyped and it is not surprising enough. In fact, it is still the same vein as "Prometheus", but the world view is extremely miniature, such as real scenes and crystal landscapes. Ball...

      Although it has become a big spoon, the art and scenes are unique. The contract continues the unique dark style of this series. The story is connected to Prometheus. Hearing that there were more than 2,000 colonists on the Covenant had that kind of happy smile that made me groan. Thanks to Mr. Lei for allowing me to watch Alien on the big screen, but the castration can't bear it, waiting for the full version and the director's cut...

      There are not only "Alien 1" in 1979, but also "2001 A Space Odyssey" in 1968 and "Blade Runner" in 1982, which can satisfy your desire to return to the past three eras at one time. I don't think the plot and expressiveness are as good as "Prometheus", but seeing Xenomorph's classmates running handsomely (only running, killing scenes have been deleted) I think it's quite...

      Make-up lessons in 2017, it's so cool! Fa Shark is self-defeating, the beginning is constantly paving the way for the previous Prometheus storyline, and later the squads take lunches one after another. Sister Kai's space war with aliens climaxes one after another. In the end, the Hollywood-style twists and turns, and the androids continue to cultivate new varieties after killing the engineers! nice...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The most brutal and ferocious classic monster alien in the film is played by actors wearing motion capture caps on the set. Director Scott said that they use real actors instead of handing them over to CGI to create unpredictable effects. 
    According to reports, the blood used in the production is measured in oil drums. Producer Mark Huffam said in an interview that the amount of blood used in "Alien: Contract" is obviously not enough....

    Background creation

    The story of "Alien: Contract" is set ten years after the event of the 2012 film "Prometheus", returning to the director's source of groundbreaking epics. In addition to space, planetary outdoor environments, abandoned cities and their internal landscapes, the visionary director will slowly reveal the mysterious origins of all alien mothers-the first part of the well-known aliens, and let the new aliens and the new heroines stage...

    Evaluation action

    The film is of course full of entertainment. But shortly after its beginning, the movie deviated from the theme, and the cause of this problem is the space monster itself that we expect to see.  ("Time" Magazine Review))
    There is no doubt that Ridley Scott regained his elements in "Alien: Contract" to create a bold, unique and terrifying experience that comes from the heart, and at the same time has the attitude of the classic "Alien"...
