Obviously, the last climax of the summer season has not yet "tide".

" White Snake: Floating Life " did not reproduce the data of the classic Chinese comic IP, " Reborn " did not maintain the level of Ethan Ruan, and even the actor's " negative negative is positive " quietly disappeared. .

At this time, a Hollywood thriller blockbuster escaped from the siege -

"Alien: Death Ship " (hereinafter referred to as "Alien 9")

The mediocre publicity relied on excellent quality to break through, and it was even more direct Interrupting the long-standing "casting" of " Catch Baby ", it won the daily box office champion for 3 consecutive days.

Click to open the comment area, and this is what the audience said -

"I bought the imax ticket, and I watched the finger-stitching version."

"It is second only to the first or two movies in my heart."

"I dare not show my atmosphere throughout the whole process, I watched the whole movie without any fuss in Dolby Hall, and I was shocked at several places.”

Some people even said that when a man went to the toilet during the movie, the black shadow on the screen made the whole audience scream, thinking that aliens were coming. Don't really be too strong.

seems to be resting on IP's laurels, and the lineup is unrecognizable, but in fact it is absolutely confident in visual effects.

This time, let's take a look at why this "death ship" is so arrogant -

First of all, let me state that "Alien 9" is definitely not suitable for children, and for viewers who don't like thrillers and horror movies. If only Curiosity Trend -
So it's best not to be curious.

The film is set in the time period between the first two films of "Alien". The plot is very simple. It is about a group of space colonists who encounter the most terrifying alien life form while exploring an abandoned space station.

In the video, you can see all the forms of the alien "facehugger". Starting from the egg, it will automatically open when it hatches at a certain stage to confirm the nearest host for pregnancy.

suddenly jumps up and pounces on the host's face. Its long tail will strangle the host's neck. When the host opens its mouth to breathe, its genitals will be directly injected into the host's throat.

In the film, there are almost scenes of facehuggers attacking humans.

Whenever you let down your guard in this disgusting and intuitive way, it will appear in the middle of the screen, accompanied by the continuous secretion of mucus and the cry of human whimpering.

I feel sick just thinking about it.

The eggs of the facehugger parasitize in the host body. After development, the facehugworm bites the human lungs, squeezes the host's ribs, and then comes out of the human body.

Similarly, in the film, the director even let the character shine a light on the lungs, and the beating eggs appeared in front of the audience.

No wonder the comment area is so excited. The above are just screenshots of the trailer. Viewers may not even dare to take pictures of the truly disgusting scenes.

It’s hard to describe this article even if it’s reviewed. It turns out that a real “thriller” can really scare people to the point of numbness in the scalp and make them sick to the stomach but they still want to watch it twice.

I have to say that director Fede Alvarez still has something.

Audiences who have not watched this series will still be frightened and trembled by the various large-scale and sexually suggestive pictures. Fans who know the director well will also see many Easter eggs in it.

can also be linked to other films of the director.

At the same time, a movie can actually be a blend of "disgusting" and "aesthetic", which directly changed my stereotype of horror movies.

Even though the element design is disgusting, the lens language, composition and use of colors are still very advanced.

The book will become less regrettable when it is used. Audiences who like horror thrillers should sit in the theater to experience this movie firsthand.

If I have to say there are any shortcomings in "Alien 9", I can only say that the plot is still relatively weak.

However, this also indirectly proves that the film has no innovation and depth, it is just a pure alien thriller.

is also a horror movie, which reminds me of another American blockbuster that was also released in the summer, " A Quiet Place: Invasion Day ".

is also a showdown between humans and monsters. Humans are always so insignificant, but in comparison, the greatness of the "Alien" series becomes even more apparent.

A horror film must first of all be scary and disgusting enough to stimulate the visual nerves of the audience. Secondly, the plot must at least be logical. If there are intriguing or multiple interpretations, that would be great.

"Alien 9" has a more majestic world view, and at the same time, the sexual implications and violence are just right. This is an important reason why I definitely do not recommend that children go into the theater.

If you can’t understand it, it’s scary intuitively. If you understand it, it’s scary from the inside out.

is indeed simple, but it is also violent.

The beauty of this high-end lens, coupled with the rough expression techniques, seems contradictory, but in fact it has become an irreplaceable shining point of "Alien 9". It gave me many surprises even as I desperately held my breath. .

In recent years, there seems to be no market for American blockbusters in the mainland, and even those who sell them are gradually struggling to make ends meet.

This year's " Godzilla vs. Kong 2" and " Deadpool and Wolverine " have good reputations at the box office, but they are far less than the original strength of their IPs.

After watching "Alien 9" in its entirety, I broke out in a cold sweat, and it seemed that I truly felt the standard that an American Hollywood blockbuster should have.

It is true that our domestic science fiction films have reached an incomparable level. After watching the domestic horror film " Overtime Horror ", which is also released in the summer.

can only sigh. The standards for approval in our mainland market are still very relaxed, and the upper and lower limits are "surprising".

Conclusion

"Catch a Baby" has monopolized the mainland market for so long, and finally a blockbuster with comparable reputation and box office performance has appeared.

In the "Alien" series, if you fall in love with a certain film, you will be opened to a new world, and other films by the directors involved will also amaze you.

When "Alien 9" restores the "factory settings" of the aliens, it is not only friendly to viewers who don't know much about it, but also rekindles a small flame of hope for fans who have been obsessed with it for many years.

If you yell when watching other movies, others will regard you as an alien. However, when watching "Alien: Death Ship", you may not be scared and scream, and you may be regarded as an alien.
