It's early nineteenth century and you have an unusual case that Scotland Yard is just not getting anywhere with. So who are you going to call!? Sherlock Holmes. What? No. Boswell and Flynn! I love when oddball characters who in theory should never work blend so well together and have crazy adventures. A suicidal alien, a hooker, and a cowboy there is a bad joke somewhere in that but, I'll leave it be.
  
Omnibus edition containing two spin-off novels from Fox's Alien franchise: Earth Hive, and Nightmare Asylum.

Reading these, I kinda get the impression they were released before Ali3n - definitely before Resurrection - as they're very much modeled on Aliens (that's the second one: the one with the 'S'). While, for spin-off novels, they're actually not that bad, they're also not going to win any awards for literature, or set the world on fire!
  
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Eeeeeeh!

Okay, sorry, but I never thought my wish would be granted for this book and I'm so thrilled I got to read it!

Alien is one of my all-time favorite movies and this book is an absolute treat to read.

It's a great behind the scenes look with wonderful pictures and illustrations!

This film doesn't do anything new, before you start watching it you know you've seen in a number of times. Team in space pick up a sample from Mars hoping to find proof of life on it. There then follows a number of ridiculous character acts and decisions that in no way feel realistic, believable or plausible. Experts in space just would not do any one of those things, let alone a chain of such stupid decisions that lead inevitably to disaster.
This film seemed to want to focus on the science early on and there was a lot of gobbledigook meant to make us realise that the actions of humans would be the cause of any alien unpleasantness. From there on its a case of the alien working its way through the crew one by one.
The alien itself was slightly different to your usual in the beginning, a blob of jelly with tentacles and feelers, but quickly just became a naughty octopus.
The ending, while not exactly a shocker, was a brave decision and one that rescued the film somewhat.
Overall, I have no idea why the decent cast signed up to this film, other than the money spent on zero-gravity replication there seems to have been nothing to attract them to it. I would expect to see this at 2am on the Sy-Fy channel, not one of the big hitting Christmas films on Sky Movies.
