    I appreciate the use of 1980's style tech in the scenes rather than updating. Gives it a gritty-retro-realistic look.

      Retro Futuristic like in the Alien Isolation game. A respectful nod to the original film's production design. Its the 22nd century but they're still using CRT screens, knobs and buttons but no touch screens.

If Grandma missed the first shot, it takes one of their heads off, but then is rewarded with 7 axes to the face...... Acid blood kills one more, it's over..... HOWEVER Hicks, Ripley and Newt who, for some reason where accidentally cloned and the clones escaped the planet, woke up here shortly after they're failed mission (who knew) run into the miners and all decide to go kill some shady Weyland businessmen.....

    • @Steelcry
      @Steelcry 년 전 +1

      @@TheJollyKraut Honestly no I don't. Reason being eggs can be moved. Perhaps they were placed there by a Xeno Drone or by WY themselves to see what happens. Though the story line doesn't seem to support the later of those two ideas but point is a number of things could have happened.
      As for the minors of 18th/19th century prospectors eh easily overlooked. Why? Because, the company is cheap? Because the higher tech doesn't work in that environment. High tech could be massively over priced or takes a long time to get to them, so the mine owner went old school. Again a number of things could be why. Also the film was set in the 80s with 80s tech it fits the timeline. Even though they had space tech it was 80s space tech.
      So yeah I have no issues with this. Even though their is better tech for mining now days doesn't mean everyone has access to it. Heck right now some people don't have cellphones still let alone landline phones. It really depends on alot of things.

      @F. J. Hmmm, have you ever heard the saying, "One man's garbage is another's treasure."
      I think that fits this moment. You have your opinion, and I have mine.
      Titles and big names don't make me watch or like something. The content does. I like alien, supernatural, monster movies. When one is terrible, I will say so. This was not. it's a classic horror monster movie set up with good acting. The only downfall I have with it is that it's too short. I would love to see more of the story.
      For the future, some advice words hold power, power to harm, and make someone feel worthless. To destroy dreams. When giving criticism, say what you don't like but admit to decent parts as well. Simply saying something is garbage helps no one. Another way of saying nicely you don't like something is "not to my liking but to each their own"
      Just a suggestion, I can't change your mind, I've said my peace, and you have a good day/night.

    In space no one can hear you scream. On a mining colony, only the emptiness of the mines can hear the sole survivor of a Xeno infestation scream. How terrifying this particular type of storytelling is. Kudos to the team who flawlessly put this together. Short fan based films seem to have the lore, horror, gore and special effects down pac to the tiniest detail, sometimes even surpassing what Hollywood can create. Very excellently done! I am patiently awaiting the arrival of Alien Romulus, hoping it lives up to the standards of its predecessors which this short is clearly indicative of.

  • @Powershade117
    @Powershade117 년 전 +10

    Definitely a well-made short film! Acing was decent, sets and costumes were great, and the lighting was genuinely creepy. And one thing that was nailed was mostly how you showed the alien itself. It was always in shadows and most of what we saw was fleeting moments, like when they were running away and one person tried to fight it with an axe. I do like how you showed the alien being hurt without having to light the thing; just a shriek, someone saying "I got it", and then the fallen axe with the melted blade. Excellent use of showing just enough.
    One problem I have with these modern Alien films is that it seems like the film makers just want to put the xenomorphs front and center in full lighting and no subtlety. Like "Hey guys! Look at the alien! Remember the alien! You all like the alien, right?!" Like they think they cannot be scary anymore. That is simply not true, and this film proved it. Now I admit that I wasn't really scared, but it did have me tense and worried. That's where I think an Alien horror film shines and needs to shine; tension for characters we like.
    Which leads me into the part where I do have some criticisms. One of them being the characters. Now the main lady? She was great and I was definitely with her for her motivation to not let this thing out! Very brave and I was rooting for her. The other characters...well they didn't get time to really develop, which is a shame considering that right at the end, I was all in for a brutal little rumble with the beast! Seriously, the moment that she was standing there facing against the alien and then the rest of her crew came with makeshift weapons of their own...standing shoulder to shoulder against the unknown...that gave me goosebumps and I was excited! But I just blame that on just how short this film is. At a total of 10 minutes including credits...that's not a lot of time for character development while still delivering a satisfying Alien movie. This definitely needed more time, more money, or more something to cook properly into something truly amazing!
    The other thing I was not fully sold on was the CGI...at least I think that was a CGI alien. It looked a little stiff and unnatural. Now if it wasn't CGI and was indeed a suit, then I apologize. But yeah, that was...not the best in my opinion. But for what it was, it wasn't bad and it didn't take me out of the movie. Just a little nitpick that I'm sure with more time and/or money, could have been polished and done amazing.
    So yeah...BIG thumbs up to this, with the only real problem I had being just how short it was.

She doesn't lock the lift to prevent their escape, she doesn't urge them to do anything other than getting out of there, even promising them the bonus they're working so hard for to incentivize them to just turn and leave while they have the chance.
