Aliens: A Redenção

9.7 - A really true surprise of the independent portuguese cinema, directed by Rui Constantino (fix this name, you'll hear about him in the future), which is a kind of "hommage" to the work masterpiece of James Cameron - ALIENS! In fact, it's a short film, made with scarse resources, but with a very high quality degree achieved. Point out to the level of intensity, which comes to the situation where you end up vibrating when seeing this small work, to the point of being really thrilling to watch! For that much contributes the excelent soundtrack and level of sound effects of this picture and the acting of the main actor, who becames a true "RAMBO ALIEN KILLER"! Recommended viewing!!!

A glorious redemption of this franchise, i think they did a really good job here, the effects are good, story, characters, aliens, sets, spacheships, egg silo, engineers. i hope there´s another one, i don´t mind to see one each year, it looked like a tv pilot episode.

9/10

To me this is not just a short film it is an experience, never saw until today such a cool tribute to the aliens franchise like this. The lieutenant is our main hero and he kicks ass with a new weapon like the pulse rifle, very cool as the other one, killing aliens left and right (they are all over the place). When the action starts, you're in for the ride of your life. The post-credits scene is for the ages.

Final Grade: 8/10

This new installment in the Alien series, even as a short movie, takes us on a journey to familiar places, we´ve been before, by the time the action starts it's impossible to forget it. The special effects are remarkable, for a low budget i mean, it´s incredible what they done here, seen it already 4 times, and every time i see it, i find something new. You will be blown away by the effects and design of the sets and the great action sequences they have with the aliens. Look out for the post-credits scenes, they are so great

With Aliens as the best sci fi picture of all time, my rating for this is 9, because it really take us there again, and we see another mission with marines, and Weyland-Yutani Corp. taking over things again.

First of all, I'm a sucker for horror and sci-fi movies. Second, I LOVE the Alien series. To me this looks and sounds like the first episode of the announced tv series, that Disney is going to trow at us, next year. I´m good with that, if not...just stick with this movie and you will have a blast, i did.
