Aliens: O Despertar

A good story is represented here, to bring back those great moments that made Aliens a crazy glorious movie.

The insides of the spaceships used are all in a fantastic animation, we can see their attention to details.

I feel it's especially hard for them to make a movie like this that´s why i´m giving an 8, beside this one being a good movie, i want to encourage them to make more movies like this one, so that we can have different type of movies in Portugal, because usually this is not the kind we see at cinemas.

It´s time to change and Constantino films have done it.

I only see their movies, they are always different, a mix between fantasy, action, horror, in a very alternative way, if you want something special that you never seen before, support them, because they deserve it.

As for this movie go see it.

This nail-biting picture contains tension from start to finish , gory scenes aplenty , thrills , some strong scares , slime , emotion , entertainment and good acting.

The atmosphere is pure genius. Gothic, claustrophobic and sometimes baroque. The use of light and dark is beyond description, the use of sound is as creepy as it gets, specially in the scenes inside the spaceship were the alien goes from air duct to air duct killing all the crew, and what´s left of the mercenaries are tracking him, we can see the force and speed of the alien even in animation, with a few shots also in stop motion, this fan film is taken to it´s limits in budget to stay faithful to the franchise, and i was impressed by the amount of information it creates making a bridge on alien and aliens, with the future of Weyland Yutani corporation only caring about the alien itself again, and sending various teams to the planet in order to get one alive for army division.

A very good sign in terms of making a good tribute.

So it´s.

First of all, things are really well explained on this one.

And that is what makes it so fascinating to watch.

They do a lot with animation, and most of the film uses a lot of cgi to add the fights with the aliens in a more realistic way.

Many science fiction films love to draw attention to their futuristic technology but the characters in Aliens o despertar react in a different way, the company already knows about what happend in Aliens, and we see a lot of the story connected to it, and that draw my attention even more, i liked the way both Alien and Aliens exist, within the universe of this fan film, and that´s cool.

This is a film of great tension and subtly, well worth seeing over and over again.

I watched it last night and it was great, It's strange that I liked it so much, because it shows all the signs, i was hoping for, and it felt a true alien film, and this is a fan movie.

The characters do the normal job, personally i liked the voice actor in the credits scene, when he is entering the cave beneath the space jockey´s ship.

The aliens are probably the thing that will make or break this movie, and in my opinion they were impressive enough. The occasional CGI effects are never convincing, but then again they never are, so luckily they didn't overdo them.

The movie is highly entertaining and i recommend it to everybody.

The settings in this film are exhilarating and claustrophobic, the characters are funny and likeable and we want them to survive, the creatures are horrifying and vile, and the storyline is tense and exciting.

The aliens do have humanoid form but they don't give a single emotion, they attack in packs and kill all humans.

What I particularly like is how the characters are written. They are not Hollywoodized heroes, in fact, there is no hero. They're just people which makes them even more threatened.

The main villain is Weyland Jr. He appears only in the beginning, but we see that don´t care about the lives they sent to lv426, they only want the aliens.

There´s much of animation used but it think that´s because of the budget, to make a movie like this.
