Alien 2, did not escape the ugly doom of the sequel

To be honest, it made me hesitate to start this title, because Alien 2 is really a featureless movie that lacks features. Let me spit out a few words here to make up the number for the entire series.

The biggest feature of this film is that it has no characteristics, the conspicuous American flag (the whole series only has the American flag, and the rest of the film is downplaying the national color), the tall marines, the friendship in need and war, etc., even the company of the gentleman and the villain The representative is also mostly in the audience's expectation, the whole is a cliché American commercial blockbuster routine. The lack of suspense may be the biggest flaw in the film, so the film is not so much a horror film as an action blockbuster, the overwhelming aliens make people a little "horrible fatigue".

The director of this film is the famous James Cameron. Contacting the Terminator series filmed by the director before and after this film, he made the alien into a blockbuster action film is justified. Card director directed many typical aliens (Alien 2, Abyss, Avatar, etc.), and this film may be regarded as the bottom of the work. Comparing the plots of Alien 2 and Avatar, human beings have changed from victims to perpetrators, which is somewhat black humor.

Finally, I glanced at the movie introduction on Baidu Baike and saw that "Alien 2's biggest feature is that it changed the storyline of the last episode of Alien Procrastination, and became very compact." I immediately felt powerless to complain. Alien 1 lasts about 2 hours, while Alien 2 takes more than 2 and a half hours. I have never seen a movie like this.

    It’s so cool to fly, one climax after another...

    It's super beautiful, especially in the last half an hour. From the first episode of the horror film to a full-scale action film, and the guns inside have already had the shadow of Avatar (especially the last robot). I was suffocated when the alien eggs in that place appeared. . . As expected, Cameron's photographs are so awesome at all ages!

    Private Hudson: Maybe it's like an ant-hive?

    Private Vasquez: Bees, man. Bees have hives!

  • Ripley: Just tell me one thing, Burke. You're going out there to destroy them, right? Not to study. Not to bring back. But to wipe them out.

    Burke: That's the plan. You have my word on it.

    Ripley: All right, I'm in.
