This time, the scissors are really steady and ruthless!

There is no doubt about the status of the series "Alien" in the history of science fiction movies. Ridley Scott is still using his lifetime to perfect and deepen this system, which is quite admirable to me. Of course there's less and less new stuff to show and more of a technical self-satisfaction, but even the revival of old tunes is enough to get fans excited. But these fans do not include me. This series only has feelings for 1-3 parts, but I was very disappointed when it came to "Prometheus", and the evaluation was not high after reading it. But "Alien: Covenant" is much better than I thought, and it can even be said to be the best sci-fi movie of the past year. The old man has returned to the conventional story structure, the world view is relatively simple, the technical links such as photography and art are still perfect, and the entertainment has also been enhanced. Focus on telling the story well and filming the scene well. Over the years, what I most identify with Ridley Scott's work is The Martian, because there is a human will to survive that can be implemented. What fans have to do is to use the existing video works to review, brainstorm, and look forward to the huge system of the entire alien world view, but this has nothing to do with ordinary audiences like me, I just watch an ordinary space thriller movie, hope I can only get the sensory stimulation I deserve, but I am quite disappointed at this point. This is not the reason of the movie itself, but because the deletion of the mainland version is really in place. All the shots of the aliens breaking out of the host's body are gone, and the tragic state of the dead host's body is gone. There are only a few glimpses of the aliens, and it is impossible to establish a visual horror of this unknown life. A full 6 minutes of key shots have been deleted, which has seriously damaged the visual system of the film. The damage to a B-level horror film can be described as traumatic, even greater than the damage suffered by "Wolverine 3". What I can't figure out is that "Alien Rising" a few days ago is a movie that is highly similar to "Alien". It is also an R-rated sci-fi horror film, and the bloody scenes in it have been preserved. Why did "Alien" come : Does the Contract set up a double standard? Alas, not having a grading system really hurts. It's not a comment, just want to spit out the scissors. Finally, let me confess to the heroine of the film. Although many people say she is ugly, I still love her more and more.
