When Rain turns off the ship’s Gravity and shoots all the aliens, all their blood is suspended in midair in long, smear like patterns . Zero Gravity in real life causes liquids to form into sphere shapes, not spread out into long, flat pieces like in the movie..

Theme from AlienWritten by Jerry Goldsmith
The Death of Theaters – The Real BBC @MauLer @HeelvsBabyface (2024). I had high hopes for this one and what can I say : I just got back into the Theater again after the first showing because I couldn’t wait to see it a second time. Remember how we always wondered if Alien and Blade Runner took place in the same universe? The world building was so well done and involving I was almost disappointed to remember after 30 minutes that I was to see an Alien movie. Almost.
Because the rest is so good
The way the characters are built in relation to each other and against what’s happening is masterful. I also love how the movie reunites thematically and lore wise ALL 6 movies that came before (there’s a node to each and everyone of them and I’m a sucker for a good candy if it’s done purposefully) while doing it’s own thing. Because it IS a Fede Alvarez movie, as fresh and dynamic as the other movies he’s done. Finally, you just have to see the opening: as soon as the computer lights up, you know where you are and you know it’s gonna be as respectful and familiar as possible. True, there are liberties taken with the lore and some will argue on these with reason but I personally can forgive those shortcuts because they serve the pace (and every movie has its own specific Xenomorphs anyway).
This was well worth the wait
There’s no down time, always something happening. It checks the boxes but it’s also unique and special. The final season of "What We Do in the Shadows" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month. Check out our October calendar for more!
