Scott's "Alien" focuses on the laying out of the story, which has laid the foundation for future development, and the movies at the end of the 1970s seem to be unable to escape the slow rhythm, but to a certain extent, the film shows the beauty of the universe. The picture is reminiscent of 2001 Space Odyssey. Generally speaking, there is no such detailed description of Alien 1 by Scott, and there is no later Cameron's wanton play.
The most worth mentioning of these four is of course the "King of the World" Cameron's majestic "Alien 2". No matter from the ups and downs of the plot or the degree of excitement, only 2 are the most exciting and impressive. The film has given people what they want to see most from the beginning. What could be better than a group of people with distinct personalities and strong means to take risks together fun? From the perspective of the picture, the appearance of new weapons and large-scale adult aliens is second to none in the entire alien series, so if you want to see a hearty and life-threatening fight, there is no doubt that you choose "Alien 2".
After many years, when the baton is handed over to Finch, it is not a good thing for a horror sci-fi. Finch's positioning of "Alien 3" is obviously a thriller and suspense over horror, and he directly abandoned Cameron's large-scale fighting and chose to challenge the original species with human IQ. The design of the film is puzzling from the very beginning. It doesn't take long for the aliens to live in the human body, but the female protagonist has been living there for a long time without knowing it. Finally, it is explained that the mother aliens live here, but it still makes people feel hard to accept. Besides, fighting against aliens with wits, from the first time they captured aliens alive to being inexplicably released by a madman, there is no connection between them. Could it be that the madman is deliberately retaliating because he has been abused for a long time? It's hard to tell. The second fight against aliens obviously contradicts the previous ones. As far as before, the inconceivable and fast speed of aliens is definitely not something that humans can easily detect and race against. In general, among the four aliens, Finch's aliens have the worst reputation, and there is no reason for them, so I won't go into details here.
Finally, let’s talk about Genet’s Alien. The understanding of Genet always stays in the romantic atmosphere of Amelie. It can be said that Genet is the most profound discussion of human nature among the four directors. This is more or less. reflected in this work. 4 Breaking the routine from the beginning, it is already a sci-fi film. Since it is a dream, it will be bigger. Simply clone another heroine and become the mother of a new species, and the emotional drama in the film is just right, whether it is The feelings of human beings, robots and even the last new alien to mother are all impressive, especially the scene of returning to the earth after wandering for many years, which is thought-provoking.
In general, of the four aliens, 1 and 2 are the most praised. 1 is more about the incredible creativity of that era, while 2 is more to reward Cameron's incredible sci-fi charm, making the Alien series in film history. Leaving a strong ink stroke.
