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.

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.

From the intro of the movie, till his last breath in the post credits scene, this is a outstanding fan film mixing two of the best movies of the alien franchise together, and also mixed into live action and animation.
The music is fantastic, the direction is incredible, and as for the Aliens, there are various types of them in the movie, i´m also a fan of the aliens comic books, so it was a surprise for me when i saw something connected with that.
They did a terrific job in investigation for this fan film, no wonder there are still people interested in this franchise, and seeing in the beginning how it all started with the engineers, awesome, awesome movie.

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.

The script certainly is the film's strongest asset for me, as it has 2 stories put together in one, and with a special tribute to Alien and Aliens.
Directing and cinematography rank among the highlights, along with the tremendous makeup and good cgi effects for a low budget like this.
The aesthetics are true to the genre and look better in this film than in any of the previous ones, especially the creatures. They're more fluid in movement, the costumes are very detailed and gorgeously textured, and some of the set-pieces bring the gooey madness to a whole new level. Cinematography has a distinct feel to it.
The soundtrack also works very well, and adds a nightmarishly majestic tone to the film, especially in those moments featuring plenty of organic imagery.
Overall it´s one of the best tribute movies of the Alien universe.
