      Really average, minor spoilers, not affecting viewing.

      Alien (1979) The Thing (1982) Screamers (1995) The film, "Alien" Screamers (1995), is actually "The Thing" (1982) + "Alien" Alien (1979), A monstrous space planet version.

      To put it simply, it is a mining area on an alien planet in the future, and the guarded little robot will automatically evolve and occupy the human body.

      Are you familiar with The Thing (1982)? It's just that the alien creatures have been replaced by futuristic...

      "Alien" + "Monster" hybrid version

      The story is still good, it is a hybrid version of "Alien" + "Monster", a robot that can reproduce and evolve by itself, and like the life in "Jurassic Park" said that life has its own law, the final evolution is also There is beauty rather than killing, but this becomes weak at the end, and the killing represented by the teddy bear prevails. The low-cost special effects in the 1990s are good enough, but there are still some bugs. For example, after knowing the humanoid disguise of the robot,...

      self-evolution

      The self-evolution of machines is the highlight of this film. In the end, female robots also fall in love with humans and kill each other for humans. The film based on Philip Dick's novel is still good, although I haven't read the novel. After robots have the characteristics of self-improvement and evolution, just like the evolution of humans, robots in the later period will definitely surpass humans and become a more advanced species. The current technological progress, artificial...

      The functional characteristics of different models of Screamers and how to distinguish the humanoid Screamers around you

      Screamer (screamer), also known as motosword (self-propelled bayonet). A smart weapon developed by the Alliance of Sirius Scientists against mining companies. (The specific name of the inventor is found in Alien Ending 2, and I am too lazy to look for the bad shooting)
      1. The primary version, Screamers1, size: about the size of a laptop; weapon: rotating bayonet; energy: charging or Devour organic objects (human flesh, rat flesh); can hide in the ground and run at high speed; intelligence:...

      Wonderful sci-fi horror movie! Adapted from Philip Dick's original work of different colors with the color of the Cold War, it not only faithfully reflects the spirit of the original work, but also expands the details and improves the world view. It is a masterpiece at a small cost. Samsung and a...

      The cast and special effects are a bit weak, and then the sense of world substitution is not strong. Generally speaking, it is still good, and there are not many changes. What if it was set on Earth like the...

      Although the potential of the setting of Screamer has been brought into full play, both the script and the connection of the pictures are as rough as a rough cut version. The scene design is superb, and the CG is very awkward. Screamer may be the last batch of stop-motion animation monsters in Hollywood production....

      A really good sci-fi film. It can be seen that investing in small special effects is relatively simple, but the plot is still worth watching. A film without a big name is easy to be ignored....

      This introduction is more fascinating than the movie, just watch the movie...

    Movie plot

    In 2078, the NEB organization, which monopolized the interstellar mining industry, established a mining base on the Sirius 6B planet to mine the radioactive element "berynium" to solve the energy crisis. Due to the deadly radioactive contamination caused by "berynium", miners have formed a "coalition" to demand a halt to mining, thus starting a long war with the NEB. NEB bombed the "Alliance" with powerful bombs, and the Alliance hid...

    • Becker: You just got out of basic training, didn't you? It's pretty obvious you're a rookie. You think you're the center of the universe but you're not. We're just insignificant little specks, you and me. We're not gonna change the world. we're not gonna win the war. Nobody's gonna care when we die.

    • Ace Jefferson: I beg your pardon, Sir. What are they?

      Hendricksson: It's a sword, Jefferson. Take a look. They call it a Screamer. It was developed for us by an alliance on Earth to neutralize the war on the ground here.

      Ace Jefferson: How do you know it's dead?

      Hendricksson: Cause they yanked its brain out.
