In some ways a review
of an Alien film is superfluous. You wouldn’t write a thousand words
about a ride on a Big Dipper for instance; the only way you know what its like
is to experience it. This seventh entry in the long running saga is everything
you'd expect from an Alien movie yet this is a good thing. Despite the familiarity
it still generates so many thrills that you will be exhausted by the end. It’s
a very loud film punctuated by metal clangs, steam, smoke, acid and a lot of
running. Combining the close quarters jeopardy of Alien with some
of the wider scope of Aliens it may not always be that original but it works exceedingly
well.
