Impressive production design is not enough to provide this science fiction logo

For years, I believed a firm belief that there No bad “foreign” movies (I, of course, with the exception of the horrific “Alien VS. Predator” films, which simply do not count). The original Ridley Scott “Alien” is a masterpiece of scientific fantasy, the scheme of many films that followed. James Cameron, “Foreigners” is a mixture of terror, science fiction and wonderful movement. David Vense “Alien 3” He suffered from production problems But he is still able to be a wonderful and wonderful movie. “Alien Geunet Resurrection on Jean -Pierre Jeunet is on a bad cover, but I find it elegant, strange and enjoyable. Then you have two Scott,” Prometheus “and” Alien: Haugle “. They also don’t have the best reputation, but I confirm that they are excellent – especially the” covenant “, which has a fatal Gothic horror.

The thing that made all these films worthy of attention is how various She was. There were no two from “foreign” films that are the same – even “Prometheus” and “Al -Ahed”, which tells a continuous story and characterized by the same director, you feel completely different from each other. Hollywood is full of privileges trying to do the same over and over again, however the “strange” series continued to try to find new ways to preserve new things. Then he changed all with Fede álvarez’s 2024 “alien: romulus”. This movie was a box office box and got praise among some fans, but he left me cold. To be fair, “Romulus” is not really bad film – But she has nothing new to present. Like many modern restarts and revival, “Romulus” was not interested in presenting new ideas. He simply wanted to return to a set of things that occurred in previous films. There are many scenes in the movie where the characters repeated the lines that are pronounced in other “strange” films, as if they were quoting the films they watched.

Now here comes Noah Hawley’s “Alien: Earth”, the first TV series “Alien”, which includes an impressive production design and not much. Like “Romulus”, “Alien: Earth” hell appears to refer to the things that occurred in the films. The opening scene of the screening is somewhat restored to the opening of the Scott Form Form for Shot, with disappointing results. I saw the first six episodes of “Alien: Earth”, and while I will fully admit the show Appear Wonderful (and costly!), It also ends with feeling that he was immersed to sit down. Maybe it’s time to return the “Alien” series in Hypers0Epeep for a few decades.

He was appointed two years before the first movie “Alien: Earth”, on one right: realizes that while Xenomorphs is scary, TRUE The villain of any “foreign” story is capitalism. In the future, governments are no longer present – they were all replaced by greed companies. As “Alien: Earth” begins, a ship owned by the basic concession will return to the homeland to the ground after a 65-year-old mission to return a group of strange species, including-I have guessed-these annoying xenomorphs.

As usually with a “foreign” story, something happens and the ship is disrupted on the floor. The very annoying boy caviaier (Samuel Blander), the young CEO of Prodigy Corporation, is a new company about the main scientific penetration: hybrids, robots that have downloaded human awareness. Prodigy already has a set of test topics: a group of sick and death children who have transferred their minds to human bodies for adults. The leader of this package (all of them adopted the names of “Peter Ban”) Windy (Sydney Chandler), who faces a rescue task to investigate the crash site.

Immediately, the “foreigner: the land” is on a shaky land. Although I am sure that someone, somewhere, I think the idea of “children’s brains in the bodies of adults” may be enjoyable, it becomes old and fast. Watching a group of adult actors behaves just as children act as frustrating and distracting their attention, and although I do not say that artists are doing a bad job (Chandler in particular has the quality of a real star), I found the characters describing. In order to be fair, “Alien” has always been a wrong privilege, as humans (or humans) are vulnerable to making bad decisions, but this does not mean that I want to see a full show on that.

For childhood adults, Alien: Earth also throws a character like Kirsh, a robot (or analogy, as they are called) Timothy Olivant plays. Olyphant is one of these artists who always suffer from accreditation, but in the first six episodes, he has very little. We get multiple scenes where he notes the silent things on television and keeps what he learns secretly. I am sure that it is based on something, but I am not sure that I am very interested. The only other character that has a lot of effect is Morrow (Babou Ceesay), a gray Sipurg ethics ready to do what is necessary to preserve these strange samples. Ceesay brings a real tragic threat to his personality, and she wanted more of it and less than almost anyone.

Hawly and his team are trying to expand the comprehensive myths of the series by presenting some of the new strange species in addition to the famous Xenomorphs, and although new creatures are heading towards the total and mixture (seriously, the mud budget for this display must be through the ceiling), none of the new monsters can accumulate against the creation of HR Giger.

Not helping matters is the fact that “Alien: Earth”, such as “Romulus”, seems very committed to reminding us of the previous films in ways that you feel without life and inspiration. It becomes exhausted.

Perhaps “Alien: Earth” is better if the story of a new original science fiction has nothing to do with the distinction of “Alien”. With the development of the rings, the series appears almost hesitant to give us a lot of Xenomorph materials, instead choosing a focus on everything literally and anything else. From time to time, Xenomorph will float to remind us that this is a “foreign” offer, but it seems almost arbitrary.

Ultimately, the greatest “foreign: the earth” is committed to ending with boredom. Regardless of the faults enjoyed by some “strange” sequences, I do not think anyone can accuse them of “boring”. Even “Romulus”, a movie that I really did not like, kept things mostly interesting. “Alien: Earth,” on the acute contrast, has a strange speed and excessive editing that ends with attention. To be fair, this is a series that is supposed to be monitored weekly instead of being completed at the same time, but the energy here is so flat that I imagine that viewers may be misfortune and abandon the ship early instead of sticking to the entire task.
