Designing Work Of Art

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2005)

I am here to give my intake in one of the most under appreciated movies i have ever heard,and i have yet to find a good reason for that. The story begins with a fire on board the cryogenic unit of the sulaco ship. After killing the alien queen on aliens,an egg,somehow managed to appear in the ceiling,somehow hidden,and the facehugger activates the emergency system of the sulaco. The EEV crashes into Fury 161,a prison planet. Ripley is the only survivor. I have heard many comments stating how the egg got into the sulaco,and i can point several possibilities,all of them acceptable according to the events on aliens. Bishop could have planted them there. He goes way with the ship when he said he would wait for Ripley,and he could say a bogus story telling why he went away for a few seconds (when Ripley connects the remains of bishop in alien 3,she asks if there was movement on the ship,on which he answers "yes",and "...he was with us all along..." therefore we can assume how it got there.). The alien queen was on board of the sulaco,so it is possible that she laid an egg. Maybe this was done on purpose,to let us guess just how the egg got there. The movie is quite good. The settings are Gothic,and absolutely stunning,and the alien creature is different from the others in previous movies. It has suspense,blood and even some frightening scenes,true to the alien heritage. Newcomer director David Fincher,starts to prove why he would become a great director,with excellent camera work,showing off just how well the settings were constructed. It is a good alien movie,with a good plot,decent characters(although they wont grow on you like newt did on aliens) and the best acting work by Sigourney Weaver. If you like the Alien movies,or a good suspense with a bit of action movie,give this movie a try.
