Alien series (1979 - 1997)


A set of science fiction directed by Ridley Scott, James Cameron, David Fincher and Jean-Pierre Jeunet, starring Sigourney Weaver.
A team on a space ship land on an unknown planet in response to a distress signal. They find that the signal was a warning and one of their crew is impregnated with a monster. The robot crew-member flips out and has to be killed as the rest of the crew are killed by the monster. Sigourney Weaver runs away in a small ship, blowing up the main one, but the monster follows and she "blows it out the god-damned airlock!". She is picked up 50 years later and after a brief job driving "power loader" (a human shaped forklift), she is sent with a military team to rescue dead colonists on the planet that the monster came from. After fighting off hordes of alien warriors as well as the queen and getting most of the crew killed in the process, Sigourney, a little girl, a robot and 1 injured man fly away again (after blowing the queen out "the god-damned airlock!"). Their escape pod crashes on a prison planet and Sigourney is the only survivor. She learns, along with the 25 inmates, that an alien monster came with her and she is pregnant with one of them. Together they kill the alien (without the use of any airlock) and Sigourney kills herself while giving birth to a new alien queen. A few hundred years later, Sigourney is genetically engineered and cloned to be part alien. A crew of riff-raff board the ship that she is on, one with the intention of killing her to prevent the spread of aliens. The aliens (even Sigourney) are being tested and some of them break free of their cages. Sigourney joins the riff-raff crew and leaves, but not before an intimate encounter with some aliens, during which a white alien is born. The alien and Sigourney get on the evacuation ship just in time and it doesn't take much imagination to figure out how the alien is killed. A makeshift airlock of a broken window.
Yeah, I spoiled ALL the plots, but I'm counting on nobody having the patience to read all of that. These films are good and I like the second one best. Damn, was there an extended version, because I never saw those colonists before! I have my doubts about the alien sex scene in resurrection. I doubt that a human could mate with an alien in the first place, but when the concept of a female human mating with a female alien is presented, my bullshit sensors go off. Like I said, the plots aren't very creative, but watch these movies for the monsters.
