The format of the first part is old-fashioned, and it is still a monster in a closed space; and the foreshadowing is too long, and it took a long time for the alien and the iron-blooded duel to appear. But the plot is compact and there are many fighting scenes. It is quite enjoyable to watch the alien and the iron-blooded appear, gradually meet and fight. The slow-motion close-up of the alien larvae pounced on the human being was shocking on the one hand, and on the other hand, I finally had a chance to see what the larvae looked like. In the past, I always used slow-forward and freeze-frame to see what the aliens looked like. As for the heroine, after all, unlike Ripley in "Alien" who really fought against the enemy alone, she first fought side by side with a supporting actor, followed by Jagged Blood, and was always the protector. At the end, the alien emerges from the iron-blooded body, making people fascinated by the sequel.
Compared to the beautiful ending of the first part, the second part is a bit rotten. The background becomes a small American town, where aliens invade human settlements. The script failed, and many details were unpleasant. That mutant xenomorph had the reproductive ability of xenomorph queens, so the rare and perfect xenomorph became an orc-like cheap character in "Lord of the Rings", which could be seen everywhere and appeared in groups (although also in xenomorph 2). Yes, but it doesn't feel the same). Probably because of superbirth and hyperfertility, the quality of abnormal shapes has also dropped significantly. Humans can be swept to death with machine guns, which is very boring. As for the original human slayer Iron Blood, since he inadvertently helped humans in the first part, it seems to have turned into a friend of human beings, not only helping humans eliminate aliens, but also destroying alien corpses, so as not to frighten humans.
There are two doubts: Why did the mutants use pregnant women to reproduce? Probably because the larvae can directly use the unborn baby to become a small abnormality. The tone of this scene is too low. Then there is no need for Jagged Blood to go to Earth alone. It is better to have a companion than a person. After all, that variant alone killed the Jagged Blood of a spaceship. Guess the director may be afraid that the audience will be confused by more than one Jagged Blood. Just like in Part 1, the three Jagged Bloods, the first two were killed by a special type, and the third actually supported the boss alone.
The last is the unpleasant place. The script wrote three relationships of brothers in distress, mother-daughter, and lovers, but nothing was shown, and it also delayed the time to see Jagged and Xenomorphs, which is nonsense. The younger brother was pierced by a special-shaped tail, but he was able to escape from the devil's lair, and even supported the emergency landing of the plane and sent him for treatment; a group of people warned a villain that they would never abandon the little girl - the wounded and children - Americans are propagating all the time Mainstream values, but people are willing to accept them.
I know from the Internet that the woman who received the iron-blooded weapon at the end owns the company that sent the spaceship in "Alien". So, this movie is actually a prequel to "Alien". This makes it easy to say, otherwise, why would people in the small town not recognize the "abnormal" when they see it? If I meet, at least I will shout: ah, alien!
