Magic Lost

Rating: 5/10 (22 July 2013)

Ridley Scott committed a crime by going back to a masterpiece film of his own to kill its magic, there is absolutely no need to explain Alien, ambiguity is an essential part of the magic of Alien. I was shocked when i saw the reference to David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia in the film, i imagined what could happen to a magnificent classic like that if they tried to make a sequel depending on modern visual effects. Peter Weyland character is also a reference of a great classic, 2001: A Space Odyssey. except for David (Michael Fassbender) casting is a major weakens in the film. one thing i wanted to say about CGI, the modern SCI films feels like a video game, you cant differentiate between the two, compare the feeling between the 1979 Alien and Prometheus and you will get the idea.
