is a complete movie. As netizens said, it effectively inherits the hard-core setting and dark style of the "Alien" series, and the horror and thriller scenes are dizzying.

has a hardcore sci-fi wasteland style in the first half, and an abandoned ship adventure tour in the second half, with AI synthesizing humans. The "alien" is fully displayed from facehuggers, chest-breaking bodies, and adults, and is filled with the ultimate horror and reproductive metaphors consistent throughout the series. .

Let alone the children brought in by their parents, ordinary adults also need a period of psychological construction before they can heal and recover. This is a dark horror movie for adults. Science fiction and monsters are just props to carry the story.

This time, the domestic theater chain has also achieved "not a single cut", not a single second has been deleted, which can be regarded as open and atmospheric; however, the routine script and the unoriginal setting seem to make the viewers smell a few more The smell of Hollywood's decline.

a. Hardcore science fiction world setting

There are many in-depth and comprehensive analyzes of the world view setting of the entire "Alien" series on the Internet. Here is a brief summary.

"Alien" first appeared in the 1979 movie "Alien" , and later through the sequel "Alien (2-4)" , the prequel "Prometheus" and "Alien: Covenant》 , the rumored "Alien vs. Predator", "Alien vs. Predator 2: Requiem" and other works can be completed.

Its biological settings are mainly reflected in "Alien 1" and "Prometheus". It is an alien creature with extremely strong aggression, rapid reproduction and strong survivability.

They mainly show four forms in the movie: Alien eggs (eggs), face hugger (face hugger), chestburster (chestburster), adult (adult) . That is, it lays eggs, invades the human body by "hugging the face" and achieves parasitism, and then "breaks out of the chest" from the human body, eventually becoming the alien itself or a "humanoid" adult.

In "Prometheus" , highly civilized alien engineers created biological weapons "Black Water" (chemical substance a0-3959x.91-15) . This black water infected humans, Worms and trilobites, the original form of the alien begins with an infected trilobite, which develops complete limbs and a larger body, with a long and narrow head, and the blood is highly acidic and corrosive, and is full of aggression.

These "engineers" also came to the earth, participated in and guided the development of human civilization on the earth, and then left a "Hometown Star Map" and left.

Alien Butler

Then came the Wieland Group founded by Sir Peter Wieland. It has been diligently pursuing the field of space navigation and exploring extraterrestrial life, and launched the "Prometheus" project against all opposition. This started the contact and conflict between human beings and black water, aliens and other organisms.

Among them, the Wieland Group used its leading technology and synthetic organisms to colonize the universe. Ellen Ripley came into contact with aliens and became the reproductive mother of aliens. More explorers, astronauts and synthetics Join the story and battle wits and courage with various forms of aliens hiding in the dark.

At the end of most series of works, mankind has achieved a short-term and superficial victory, but the aliens still hide in the darkness and are eternal, as if symbolizing the original sin and desires of mankind on earth.

The marking time of "Alien: Death Ship" is: 142 . Between "Alien 1" and "Alien 2", it can be regarded as the "first intimate contact" between humans on earth and alien organisms.

The defector team

mainly consists of The defector team composed of humans Rayne, Tyler, Bjorn and synthetic human Andy. They tried their best to escape from the alien mining colony and drove the spacecraft to an abandoned space station (Wilander Group), but There they encountered a mysterious alien attack.

The first half of the film basically takes place in alien mines and spaceships. It is not scary yet, but it is filled with the atmosphere of a dark and dilapidated doomsday wasteland, and there is a sense of release from escaping from the underground city. More "alien" dark aesthetics began to spread quietly after a few people stepped into the abandoned space station.

b. Dark-black wasteland style

The first impression of the "Alien" series is that it is gloomy and depressing; most of the time, the protagonists are in the ruins, caves, crypts, or abandoned space stations of alien planets. Walking quietly among the pipelines, mezzanines and operation rooms.

In this film, the characters sometimes drill into pipes, sometimes climb stairs, sneak through the room silently many times, or cross various door cards, get stuck or get blocked at the door.

Behind them, there are usually different forms of aliens staring at them, or they are approaching at speed, or they are "facehuggers" similar to scorpions that are surging on the floor; or they are "mother bodies" that are spraying strong acid and... The larvae; or the human female undergoes painful pregnancy and childbirth, is shut out by the upgraded rational Andy, and is swallowed by the adult body.

"Terror" is the eternal theme of the Alien series. In the middle parts, there are Cameron (Alien 3) and David Fincher (Alien 4) and other masters participated and blessed, which also gave Alien more meaning. Aesthetic connotations or philosophical speculations, and discussions and reflections on "respecting other ethnic groups" and "how humans survive", etc., but none of them achieved better box office results.

So when it comes to this "Alien: Death Ship", the investors directly selected director Alvarez. His past works include "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "The Caller" and "The Evil Dead". Just watching His filmmaking skills can be traced back to his name, and his reputation for completing horror works at a very low cost has long been spread in the industry, so it was a natural choice to direct Alien.

Alvarez did live up to the expectations of investors, completing the execution of a very classic and conservative horror routine, and by adding elements such as wasteland mines and intelligent synthetic humans, it added a bit of novelty, making the entire movie There is a uniqueness in the inheritance, without much depth or breadth, but it is enough to scare an audience and make everyone startled, and the effect is achieved.

c. Reproductive metaphor is not suitable for children.

Parents who don’t know how big their hearts are would be stupid enough to bring their children into the theater to watch "Alien: The Last Ship".

The gloomy atmosphere and scary scenes are naturally not suitable for children to watch. Even if there is no crying or leaving the scene, it will leave a terrifying shadow in the heart, which is detrimental to psychological growth.

The poster of this film also directly states "Minors should choose to watch with caution". Coupled with the scary atmosphere of the poster itself, parents should avoid this film.

In addition, the "Alien" series actually has a more important metaphor, which is "reproductive worship" .

The alien matrix that appears in the second half of the film continuously sprays strong acid, completely corroding Taylor and others; but any adult who has experienced human affairs should be able to see what it is metaphorically speaking. (Too realistic, the picture will be swallowed if you post it)

In fact, the entire alien is a symbol and metaphor surrounding the worship of reproduction. The mother body sprays strong acid, the cylindrical head and open mandibles of the adult body, the facehugger extending its long tongue into the human body, or the sharp hook piercing the body are all extremely typical symbols of reproduction. The creator also used this to infuse the alien creatures with a brutal, aggressive, and invasive character temperament, making it an unforgettable and fearful classic image for the majority of movie fans.

From the dark atmosphere, terrifying images to reproductive metaphors, "Alien: Death Ship" isolates children and pleases simple and relaxed adult audiences. As for the survival philosophy contained in it, the reflection and exploration after the shock may be extended. Obviously the "Alien" series has not yet achieved the humanistic connotation of " Batman: The Dark Knight ".

Therefore, this short-lived carnival is more like a throwback to Hollywood’s horror aesthetics. When everyone becomes desensitized to darkness, horror and horror, and loses its connotation, the Hollywood routine will truly come to an end.

As of now, " Alien: Death Ship " has been released for five days, with a box office of 250 million in domestic theaters, and the number of screenings is also leading in the same period. According to the current trend, it is not only expected to top this summer season, but also be regarded as "far ahead" among Hollywood movies in recent years.
