Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Alien Outbreak (2020) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
First of all, I have to mention that Alien Outbreak looks good and I mean that with the colouring of the film, the colour pallet works very well in many scenes and it looks crisp, the use of lighting is also nicely used, particularly at night with the various shadow colours and effects for the torch-lit corridors, look out for a nicely shot scene while they are driving in a car and the burnt orange background stands out perfectly in the scene.
Now that’s out of the way, let’s get on to the film itself, many people really give indie made films a rough ride these days, but this is probably down to them comparing them with big Hollywood blockbusters, these types of movies like Alien Outbreak always have a certain look and feel to them and to me I find that very appealing in the extravagant blockbusters.

Ridley Scott hammering the final nails in the faltering franchise
I hated this film. I loved the original Alien and was so excited when Ridley come back to the franchise to revive it, but never in my wildest dreams did I think it would be this bad. Candidate for worst film of the year. Full rant filled podcast review on my blog.

Original spin on Alien contact
It's life Jim but not as we know it
I saw this at the cinema and must admit it wasn't what I expected. More of a thinking persons Sci-fi film. It has some interesting ideas and Amy Adams is brilliant. However I think it's one a lot of people might not understand. One that will divide opinion.

A little slow at the beginning
Interesting book
This book is a little slow to start off. That would be my biggest criticism of it. However, once it gets going, it's a roller coaster ride from there. The book just gets more interesting the further you go. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to read a good book.

A clever sci-fi
good dark sci fi film with the right amount of tension and some strange moments. Well worth a watch as its a cross between Event Horizon and Alien which in itself is a strange concept. A lot of Internationally talented actors make up the cast and as usual there is one character that steals what bit of humour there is.
Erika (17789 KP) rated Acceptance (Southern Reach #3) in Books
Mar 1, 2019
The conclusion to the Southern Reach trilogy was completely anticlimactic. Not much actually happened in this novel. I think this is the first out of the three that actually uses the word 'alien' but not as a noun.
The novel bounces around between 4 characters, the lighthouse keeper, the psychologist, Control, and Ghostbird. Honestly, there was nothing new, and I was glad that it was a short book.

A bit like Alien Nation which in turn is a story about our innate differences and the two cops in this story not only have to come to terms with each other but try to police a world populated by orcs and fairies whilst protecting an Elf, (go figure)
Will Smith turns in a passable performance although I think the movie could have been better, not bad Netflix!

When Netflix started it was an alternative to video stores. Now that Blockbuster is gone, Netflix has decided to all but give up on giving us new and classic studio movies to watch in favor of original programming. Now we're paying for essentially another network. I'd rather them have Blade, Alien, Old School and all the movies I want to see rather than 13 Reasons or whatever.

Creature effects
Homage to all those alien invasion movies we all watched when we were young james gunn who would go on to make guardians of the galaxy vol one and two made a brillant sci fi horror with plenty of refences to other movies both nathan fillion and michael rooker and elizabeth banks lead the cast. The creature effects are amazing. Thimbs up
