Aliens Redemption

To me this is not just a short film it is an experience, never saw until today such a cool tribute to the aliens franchise like this. The lieutenant is our main hero and he kicks ass with a new weapon like the pulse rifle, very cool as the other one, killing aliens left and right (they are all over the place). When the action starts, you're in for the ride of your life. The post-credits scene is for the ages.

Final Grade: 8/10

Alien: Redemption takes the Alien franchise to places fans would never have dreamed, without compromising the key elements of the Alien world, and does it successfully. This tribute is a delight to fans eyes, who loved Aliens, will love this. A trully blessed christmas gift. The action sequences are quite good, the story here is once again solid and convincing, and the performances are still the top row quality you expected from this line.

This short represents an effort to stay truthful to the Alienverse and to James Cameron's Aliens that marked an entire generation. Even with a very low budget it was possible to bring forth a solid story, good performances and a great CGI environment. A definite win!

A glorious redemption of this franchise, i think they did a really good job here, the effects are good, story, characters, aliens, sets, spacheships, egg silo, engineers. i hope there´s another one, i don´t mind to see one each year, it looked like a tv pilot episode.

9/10

9.7 - A really true surprise of the independent portuguese cinema, directed by Rui Constantino (fix this name, you'll hear about him in the future), which is a kind of "hommage" to the work masterpiece of James Cameron - ALIENS! In fact, it's a short film, made with scarse resources, but with a very high quality degree achieved. Point out to the level of intensity, which comes to the situation where you end up vibrating when seeing this small work, to the point of being really thrilling to watch! For that much contributes the excelent soundtrack and level of sound effects of this picture and the acting of the main actor, who becames a true "RAMBO ALIEN KILLER"! Recommended viewing!!!
