Critical Outcast: Blu-Ray Review: Alien 2 4/1/2011 Critical Outcast: Bluray Review: Alien … Home Contact About Reviews Opinion News Multimedia Friends Labels List Search pow ered by Blu-ray Review: Alien 2 - On Earth In recent years I have been working hard to cultivate my movie tastes, to hone and sharpen it to a fine edge. The thing about is that I have worked at sharpening both sides of the blade. I suspect that if you were to graph my growing movie tastes the result would look a lot like an inverse bell curve. You see, while I am all about recognizing the classics and championing high quality film making, I also tend to throw my support behind utter trash. One area that I have worked very hard to fine tune is my love of low budget horror films. You can break that down into further chunks like Full Moon Pictures (you know, Puppet Master, Demonic Toys, and the like) and Italian B-movies (like the horror output of Lucio Fulci, and the movie this review is about, Alien 2: On Earth ). Yes, you can call a lot of these movies classics, even landmarks in genre film making, but by and large they are only known within certain circles. I could go up to any number of my friends and ask them about The Gates of Hell, The Blind Dead, or Make Them Die Slowly and be guaranteed the response will be a blank stare. These movies and those even further down the totem pole certainly take a particular brand of movie lover. The problem with liking, or wanting to like, some of these movies is that they are so hard to find, consider something like Bruno Mattei's Ridley Scott rip-off Terminator II (aka Shocking Dark ) and you will find a movie that is darn near impossible to turn up. There is a new company on the block that seems poised to help all of us B through Z-grade movie lovers. The company is Midnight Legacy and their debut release is the little to never seen Italian sequelsploitation film Alien 2: On Earth from director Ciro Ippolito (under the pseudonym Sam Cromwell). It may not be the splashiest of movies, but there is something strangely hypnotic about this rather slow paced gem. Also, it may be marketed as a a sequel to Ridley Scott's Alien , but it has nothing to do with the Scott classic (much like Zombi 2 was a "sequel" to Dawn of the Dead , which was released in Italy as Zombi ). criticaloutcast.com/…/blurayreviewali… 1/5 4/1/2011 Critical Outcast: Bluray Review: Alien … Search... Recent Posts Videos Like 3 Share Share Fan Page Alien 2 gets off to a slow start as we are greeted with a whole mess of stock footage. This footage is used to set up a space module plummeting back to Earth and we are meant to believe this is the source of the alien threat (and presumably from the Nostromo if one is to actually believe this is a sequel to Alien despite it being set hundreds of years in the future). In any case the scene shifts to a couple as they take a leisurely drive from their home to a TV studio (set in a movie theater), where the actress apparently forgets her lines (otherwise we are meant to believe she has visions of monsters). The woman and her boyfriend head o the river to meet a man on a boat before ultimately meeting up with the rest of their team at a bowling alley (yes, a bowling alley). Oh yes, I forgot to mention, they are cave diving scientists about to head into the deep. On the way to the cave they stop and find a mysterious looking rock, so naturally they put it in their bag and carry on. Do you see where this is going? If you said "an alien attack on the group once in the cave from something in the rock," you'd be right. The attacks lead to some decent gore effects and a continued lack of genuine suspense or an actual script. The leaps of logic, or lack thereof, are mind boggling. I mean, they are scientists, right? If you remember that fact, pair it with their reaction after the realization of the alien attack. It makes no sense. Then there is the final Find us on Facebook moments of the film that prove they either ran out of money or just had no idea how to end it.

I found a lot to like, from the use of the stock footage to the crazy dialogue, from the blood to the alien anus-vision during the return to the bowling alley, from the poor performances to the weird use of Glen Michael Mike Jen Josh music, the movie worked it's terrible charm on me.

There is little evidence of print damage, whatever the source was, it Movie News (117) was kept in very good condition and Midnight Legacy did a fantastic job on the transfer. Frankly, the movie probably has no right looking as good as it does. Movie Recap (13) The audio track is DTS-MA 2.0 and it does the trick.

  • Breaking the Code of the Matrix; Or, Hacking Hollywood
    Matrix.mss-1 September 1, 2002 “Breaking the Code of The Matrix ; or, Hacking Hollywood to Liberate Film” William B. Warner© Amusing Ourselves to Death The human body is recumbent, eyes are shut, arms and legs are extended and limp, and this body is attached to an intricate technological apparatus. This image regularly recurs in the Wachowski brother’s 1999 film The Matrix : as when we see humanity arrayed in the numberless “pods” of the power plant; as when we see Neo’s muscles being rebuilt in the infirmary; when the crew members of the Nebuchadnezzar go into their chairs to receive the shunt that allows them to enter the Construct or the Matrix. At the film’s end, Neo’s success is marked by the moment when he awakens from his recumbent posture to kiss Trinity back. The recurrence of the image of the recumbent body gives it iconic force. But what does it mean? Within this film, the passivity of the recumbent body is a consequence of network architecture: in order to jack humans into the Matrix, the “neural interactive simulation” built by the machines to resemble the “world at the end of the 20 th century”, the dross of the human body is left elsewhere, suspended in the cells of the vast power plant constructed by the machines, or back on the rebel hovercraft, the Nebuchadnezzar. The crude cable line inserted into the brains of the human enables the machines to realize the dream of “total cinema”—a 3-D reality utterly absorbing to those receiving the Matrix data feed.[footnote re Barzin] The difference between these recumbent bodies and the film viewers who sit in darkened theaters to enjoy The Matrix is one of degree; these bodies may be a figure for viewers subject to the all absorbing 24/7 entertainment system being dreamed by the media moguls.

Films of this subgenre counter fears and anxieties of technological advancements by re-imagining the rise of technology and its societal effects as a transitional process through the illustration of literal and visceral depictions of the necessary alterations people will have to undergo in order to transition successfully into the new world.
