| Video Discription | The follow up to Alien from 1979, Aliens was directed by James Cameron, written by James Cameron and Gale Ann Herd, and stars Sigourney Weaver, who returns as Ellen Ripley, the sole surviving crew member of the space towing vessel, the Nostromo, a ship owned and operated by the Weyland Yutani corporation, which was destroyed after the crew picked up an alien lifeform after investigating a mysterious distress signal on company orders. The film picks up 57 years after the events of Alien, after Ripley has been drifting through space in hypersleep onboard the Narcissus shuttle, which she used to escape from the Nostromo. Before we get to the movie itself, I’ll go over the version I watched for making my review. The version I watched here is the 4K Bluray, which only released a short while ago. It comes with three discs, one is the 4k bluray, the second, a regular 1080p Bluray, and lastly, a bonus features disc. Something that gets talked about a lot with this presentation, is the use of AI to remove the film grain, a point that has a lot of people divided. James Cameron has actually stated that one thing he was never happy with regarding Aliens, is the amount of grain, as at the time, that was just what they had to work with, and there wasn’t much that could be done about it, but with today’s technology, he was able to remove most of it. But this has a lot of people online discussing whether or not this was the right call, as many people liked the look how it was before. Me personally, I actually did like the way this version looked, with less artifacts and stuff on the screen, and it had more of a clean look to it, as well as a really high level of detail, especially in people’s faces up close, where it almost looks like the actor is in the room with you. Although I don’t disagree with anyone who prefers the grainy, filmic look though, and I do still enjoy the look of an older film;Another thing they changed is the colour filtering, as some older versions had a very heavy blue-tint, but here it’s a little bit warmer, and feels a bit more balanced and neutral than before. Again, not something that bothers me either way, and I don’t really have a preference, but I did notice it. I have also previously seen the movie on normal Bluray, DVD, and VHS. For this review, I actually did watch both the theatrical cut, and the directors cut, which is called the “1990 special edition”. And I can say with the utmost confidence, that I definitely do prefer the theatrical cut, as despite a few cool scenes being missing, improves the pacing a hundred percent over the Special Edition, which I prefer for repeat viewings. I would recommend the Special Edition if you’ve not seen it before just to see the extra scenes; but for a repeat viewing, I whole-heartedly prefer the theatrical cut, as it not only tightens things up, but it actually makes Hadley’s hope more mysterious, as the scenes showing the colony before the Aliens invade it are absent, so we, the audience have the same level of understanding as the heroes of the film do, so the colony is as mysterious and unknown to us as it is them, and it’s like we’re all exploring it together, rather than us basically knowing what happened beforehand. I would probably say, if I were to make my own cut, I would basically just keep the Theatrical version, but I’d just add in the part where Ripley finds out about her daughter, Amanda having passed away during the time she was missing, especially with Amanda being the character from Alien Isolation, and the scene with the machine gun turrets, as where we see the ammo counters going down is a really nice touch that adds some more urgency and makes the situation feel that little bit more dire. So, the main thing most people will refer to, when comparing Aliens to Alien, is the shift to an almost entirely different genre, going from horror to action. Something that they actually pulled off flawlessly, as it feels like they are expanding the scope of the story being told, where in the first film, it’s just one Xenomorph in a more isolated setting, but in Aliens there are multiple Xenomorphs, we have more characters, and a larger environment for the film to take place in. Another franchise that this tonal progression reminds me of, is actually the difference between Resident Evil 1 and Resident Evil 2, where the sequel retains a lot of the horror of the first entry, but takes it to the next level; so it’s like, the first entry, it’s all unknown and mysterious, but in the second, we have more of an understanding, and it’s like it’s our turn to bring the fight to the creatures and the bad guys. #alienromulus #aliens |
