It's actually a great ode to humanity. . . Not a cult movie.

It feels a lot like Cloverfield, but more exhausted. Although there are a lot of blood plasma explosions, it can't be considered a cult movie, because the overall values ​​​​are very mainstream, and they have confidence in human nature - the captain of the urban management team can send nails home! Uh, since the alien prawns are also very sentimental, should it be called cosmic? It's a little strange that the prawn scientist said he was going to take his family home, and then ran away by himself. Looking forward to the sequel and prequel.

In general, it is still a monster film, and it is a monster film from Frankenstein and King Kong all the way, but it has made many things more extreme. Jackson's guys are really monsters.

    I watched it again after a lapse of twelve years. I didn't expect to cry for 20 minutes. It was too uncomfortable, too tragic, and every look in the last 30 minutes was painful. Fortunately, you can return to your home with seven moons. Fortunately, you have not forgotten how to fold that flower in the ruins.

    It’s a dictionary-style interpretation of the word alien, which clearly writes aliens and secretly writes foreign population/refugees/second-class citizens. The bloody scene was disgusting enough, the gap between alien appearance and abilities was ironic enough, and human self-righteousness and exploitation were deep enough. In the end, I was surprised that even the relationship between husband and wife, friendship, and father-son relationship were deeply described. The scrap iron rose at the end of the article really moved me unexpectedly. peter jackson strong
