In Reply to: Saw Alien yesterday. Frankly, what's all the fuss about? posted by clarkjohnsen on November 7, 2003 at 07:05:00:
Hi,
in the books that followed the movies it is speculated that the Alien race was most likely engineered to fight a war. It is also thought they took the combatants of both sides out for dinner.......so to speak. It's a hive and in hives the queen has the most smarts. They grow fast, and since this one is a queen,she learns scary fast. While the saving the cat thing is dumb; dumb is often seen in crisis situations. But....to answer your question.... the movie turns on a couple of thngs. The first is that this creature is a parasite. Humanity has a crappy track record with parasite. Mosquitoes are small and dumb, and more dangerous than they used to be. Now consider what a large, smart parasite could do. This potential danger derives from the dystopia theme.
We get out into space. We control a good chunk of the galaxy; but one chance encounter decimates a group of humans with only one soul left to tell the tale. But mostly the 'fuss' is about what you like. I liked the Alien series a lot, even read a couple of the books.
