The Earth succeeds as Ridley Scott’s strange sequences failed

Foreign: Earth He delivers all the chain you want with “Alien” in the title: xenomorphs that hunt humans; The horror of the body is unjustified. Androids that you can not trust completely. But the writer/director Noah Holie (Legion, Farjo) His team was also able to push the concession to new horizons, as it abandons the philosophical questions that Ridley Scott possesses Prometheus and Foreign era It is not possible to explore completely. It is not just a foreign television program – it is an accurate experience that raises the entire concession, even more than recently Foreign: Romulus.

The series, which was shown today on FX and Hulu, takes place two years before the original foreign. It begins with the ordinary: a group of astronauts wakes up from Cryosleep on the reactionary Utani cargo ship. We learn to carry a shipment outside the planet, which is expected to separate and achieve chaos throughout the ship. Meanwhile on Earth (somewhere we never seen in the privilege), we got to know a final sick child undergoing a radical new procedure: her brain was loaded in an artificial body (played by Sydney Chandler).

This child takes the name Wendy – one of the Peter Pan Peter references in the chain – and embraces her new automated body (and more mature) with childish wonder. Instead of being just a weak child, it becomes incredibly strong, with fast reactions and the ability to jump safely from great heights. It seems as if she became the anime of Los Angeles anime hero The battle of the angels (At one point, it connects a sword that resembles Katana simply because it looks at a tuna).

Windy is not human, but it is not the entire Android system either since its personality and memories have been loaded from a human brain. It’s completely new. It has become a kind of older brother for the children of other patients who go through the same human crossbraft, and together they revolve around the missing boys (including some girls). They even go further to take the names of Peter Ban characters (one child, unfortunately, stumbled in the name of Smee, after Captain’s’ cowardly cowardly). To its Creator, President of Prodigy Corporation Boy Kavalier (Samuel Blander), is a future key where people can cheat death and live in practice forever in artificial bodies.

The foreigner -filled spacecraft ends in a Prodigy city in Southeast Asia (in this universe, running five huge companies running the world, and national countries are no longer present), and Boy Kavalier decided to recklessly test the new hybrid with a rescue mission. They discover one of the survivors, Morrow (Babou Ceesay), a loyal security officer with a robot arm, as well as the classic Xenomorph and a large number of new species. I will not spoil much about them here, but I have a feeling that a multi -dress parasite will soon be fans.

Foreign: Earth Finally, we are immersed in the franchise elements that the films can only glimpse. We see how the corporate runs of the land looks completely, and it is as great as you can imagine. As usual, weyland-Yutani gives priority to treasures outside the planet over the lives of its workers. But it is impressive to see the boy Cavalier – a kind of hateful technology that puts his bare feet on offices during meetings – saliva in an opportunity to steal and study the strange shipment. Do not care about hundreds (and possibly thousands) of lost lives in his city, or the dangers inherent in bringing fatal strange creatures to his research laboratory.

This series is at its best when it is interrogated by the big questions that it asks (with more or less occurring) by films about the nature of being human. Where does that leave the new hybrid, which combines human memory, emotion and artificial bodies, who are somewhat immortal? In many ways, Foreign: Earth It looks like the same as the value of humanity for the world, such as Scott films. Humans will sacrifice an endless life for greed – the planet may be better without us.

with PrometheusRidley Scott aims to explore the arrogance of humans who are trying to meet their origin, and the possibility of synthetic materials (such as Michael Fassbnder’s David) may be more than advanced life forms. But the wider topics have fallen from weak text programs (and from what I heard, Scott enters the story). Foreign: the covenant It was less unforgettable. Both films have suffered from the requirements of being films with a large budget-they were unable to slow enough enough to allow the audience to think, and instead they had to rush to the next group. The eight episodes of the TV series should not be run for the live broadcast network to play with the same bases.

Even if you do not want to deal with greater ideas, though, Foreign: Earth It is still embarrassing wealth. It is characterized by completely new ways to get out of the planet, not just Xenomorphs, to dismantle their victims. It is full of great offers in all fields – Sydney Chandler, which has the courageous Wendy energy than her name, whose name is Peter Ban, is prominent. Babo Kaysai’s yield is an outwardly opponent, but it is surprising that we see what he abandons to become a useful institution. (His automatic arm can also come out with a sick lips.

Timothy Olivant’s great fans (Justifiedand DeedwoodCertainly, his performance as the head of artificial security will be estimated. We do not get the fun side of Olyphant that we saw in JustifiedBut it is comfortable to the end to see its contempt for all human beings (including its boss) collapses under the surface.

I will admit, I was skeptical that Noah Holie can provide decent foreign TV series. Corps It was all the style There is no substance in my opinion, and while I enjoyed the first few seasons of FateoThe end of its operation was uneven. But with Foreign: EarthHe made something special. It is not the subjective promotion Andor It was for Star WarsBut it is a sign that there is still a lot of the remaining life in the elderly foreign concession.
