Less terror, more action

Rating: 7/10 (17 May 2017)

After 7 years, "Alien" is back, this time brought by another great director, James Cameron, shifting the focus of the movie a little, bringing it from terror to action, but still without losing its origin completely. With an apathetic script, where we have a situation to bring the legendary lieutenant Ripley back to action, even though not being extremely creative, the script never gives in to ridicule, on the contrary, it takes itself seriously and we take it too seriously. 57 years after the events of "Alien", Ripley returns to the planet LV- 426 to help families who explore the place, this time accompanied by a troop of soldiers, the "Aliens" end up being underestimated ... With less terror and more Action, the script still pleases. Technically the film is exquisite, having the face of the 80's, but better done, packed with visual effects that appeal to this day, James Cameron does well. Lastly, "Aliens" is a good continuation and a natural evolution of Plot, characters and context, but will never have the charm and impact of its predecessor.
