Alien Horror Science Fiction Movie Series Review 5 Stars Worthy

The Alien is a 5 stars worthy film series. Its early success gave it a lot of popularity. It has 3 sequels and 2 prequels. From these movies, I watched the first 3 movies and the ending of the 4th part. I did watch the ending of Alien vs Predator. It was not too hilarious. It gave more of an emphasis to the Predator hunters and the humans.




Recently, they made Prometheus. Its a prequel to the first movie. It chronicles the birth of the Alien race. I was going to watch it. However, a friend of mine came back from watching the film. I asked him to tell me what the movie was about. All he said was, "Its disgusting!". After hearing this negative review, I decided not to watch the Prometheus movie. For rating purposes, I read the plot of the Prometheus movie over the top. The stuffed a lot of plot and weird stupid things into one film.

For our purposes, I will focus on the first three Alien movies. Alien Resurrection, was too disgusting, gory and weird for my taste. I did like the cloning gig and the human baby Alien. I thought it was cute how he hugged Ripley. She thought Ripley was its mama. Man, what an ugly Alien baby. Anyhow, the main character in the first three movies was Ellen Ripley. In the first film, Ripley's ship stops to check a transmission sent from a mysterious planetoid.

A planetoids are small nameless planets that are not part of the main 9 planets. They are usually small and covered in ice. In that planet, they discover an alien spacecraft. Inside slept the remains of a beast. The signal was a warning to stay out. From then on, the movie gets gorier, and scarier.

I did not watch the rest of the movie. Some years passed and I watched the ending of the film. By then Ripley and her cat where the only survivors. It seems that she had escaped, however, an Alien had gotten inside the ship. I thought the beast looked pretty cool. The darkness aided to add realism to the beast. For being an 1979 film, it had pretty good graphics and special effects. The gore was pretty believable.

In the next film aka Aliens, Ripley was asked to go back to the planetoid. A colony had been founded in that place. The guy asking her to go promised that the team was going to kill all the Aliens. In that colony, Ripley discovers a little girl. She is the only survivor of the colony. She has managed to elude the Alien because of her small size. Ripley takes it upon herself to protect the little girl.

The issue is that her host had other ideas. He had devised an ingenious plan to have Ripley be infected by the Alien. With her as a host, they hoped to bring back a live baby specimen. Needless to say, this plan did not humor Ripley one bit. In this movie, Ripley manages to escape with the little girl. Now for the third movie. Here,  Ripley's escape pot gets picked up by the marines.

In the version that I saw, Ripley once again is the only survivor. She is carrying inside an Alien egg. This movie is more militaristic. There is no argument about killing the Alien. Regardless, in the end, the humans try to convince her to return to earth to have the monster remove. She chooses to die because she does not trust the humans.

The general theme in all the alien movies is that humans are stupid. They have such blind faith in their science, that they are too stupid to notice when they bit on more than they could chew. This theme is common in all Alien movies. Humans are still naive when its comes to the unknown. For all their science, for all their knowledge, there are still things that lie beyond their control. In any case, I recommend the Alien movies to all you chibis. They are 5 stars worthy science fiction horror movies.

Frankly, I think that the Alien is one of the best designed monsters. Truly, a horrible nightmare. It gets even worse, when you have to deal with its disgusting kids. Seriously, the whole getting eaten from the inside out is a pretty interesting concepts. Its the sorta thing that makes one feel completely powerless. Eww... truly, the Alien creation is the work of a madman.
