Alien on the ship!

Rating: 9/10 (6 February 2015)

You know, analyzing the classics, it is difficult to say about it is something new, because over the years of its existence - everything has already been said about you. A thousand opinions, both positive and negative, which is set out everything that could be said. Still want to express my humble opinion and. "Alien" - recognized as a classic of cinema and an example of how to look good sci-fi film. He is a dark, largely original so much that at one time caused fear and loathing among the audience. This is just the very emotions that are making, shooting horror - extreme sensations. But what is the problem any classics? Over time, it ceases to impress.
Do not get me wrong, "Alien" I liked it. He has an interesting story, more or less distinct moments of dialogue and he continues to impress, but unfortunately, now it will not see something like that, that would impress. Personally, I was able to see him only recently, and sometimes I frankly bored. They showed us the life of the ship, without going into details, the local customs and, in fact, that very little stranger with a funny head and a nice little tongue with his own mouth. The problem is that reigns around an illusion that the characters are revealed. Yes, there is a scene where they talk, sad, think about the inevitable end, but nothing makes for them to worry. Unknown garbage guy jumped on the face - suddenly, but so what? Bearded captain grabbed someone else - and I should be sorry for him? Yes, the whole team crumbled into the meat, and the only character for the fate of which I experienced - cat, who kept running around the ship. Yes, even the heroine Sigourney Weaver aroused little emotion (although I often enrage women in movies, and she did not even annoying. This is cool). Agree, when more worried about the fate of the stranger, who kills everyone on the ship - this is not good.
Faceless characters - this is probably the biggest problem of this movie, but there are those that have emerged over time. And it is not the fault of the director or the picture itself. This high expectations and the fact that since its premiere has been more than 30 years. Many have told me that it is almost the best thing they've ever seen. What is the worst movie in the world, and now it looks even better than many modern horror. But let's face it - it's not. The film has lost its former luster and after that pile of special effects, which are presented to us from blockbuster blockbuster - popping up from the chest of another man germ does not cause old emotions. I, for example, long whinnying on this nice little toothy puppet. And, you know, I would not have found fault with things like that, if I had not been told that it looks better than "Avatar" in Trid. My expectations were too high involuntarily, and it played a role.
However, I repeat - I really liked the movie. Decorations for 1979 look cool, actors try, some scenes continue to evoke emotion - "Oh! ** Them yourself! ". The very fact that in the future each of the characters has become a stereotype in these films - makes it a classic. It really says a lot. And I would like to do a little comparison with the prequel, which was released in 2012 - "Prometheus". I know it's not fair, but the situation is very similar. Frankly, "Prometheus" I looked first and could not understand why it is not very well accepted. But now, seeing the sequel (funny that he appeared 33 years earlier), I realized that for his fans criticized. This is 75% of the same film. Evil cyborg trying to explore the unknown creature, the death of the team, the destruction of the ship, talking head. Damn, even the birth of the embryo of another's stomach! Unfortunately, the remaining 25% - trumped-up nonsense. In this regard, "Alien" wins. As if the "Prometheus" - it's not a prequel, but a kind of remake. But again, this proves how cool "Alien" that it wants to raise from the ashes.
As a result, we have a typical classic, once laid the foundation of the genre, but for now, while the more impressive projects looking to modern audiences as a cheap set of clichés. Of course, many praising the film and will beat me with sticks for what I said about him that something bad. I understand why, I just did a more modern audience the same "Prometheus" has given me more pleasure. "Alien" I liked, I recognize his contribution to cinema, but for me - it is not a masterpiece. I do not blame me.
