Aliens: O Despertar (2023)
If they do more, i´m here for it !
The script certainly is the film's strongest asset for me, as it has 2 stories put together in one, and with a special tribute to Alien and Aliens.
Directing and cinematography rank among the highlights, along with the tremendous makeup and good cgi effects for a low budget like this.
The aesthetics are true to the genre and look better in this film than in any of the previous ones, especially the creatures. They're more fluid in movement, the costumes are very detailed and gorgeously textured, and some of the set-pieces bring the gooey madness to a whole new level. Cinematography has a distinct feel to it.
The soundtrack also works very well, and adds a nightmarishly majestic tone to the film, especially in those moments featuring plenty of organic imagery.
Overall it´s one of the best tribute movies of the Alien universe.
