Entertainment of ‘Alien: Earth’ honors the classic, but already demonstrates what came

With two episodes available at Disney+, Alien: Earth asks for permission, revere its predecessors, but already gives evidence of a more original story

Fans of the Alien franchise will finally be able to deal with the Xenomorph longer! Alien: Earth It is the first series made for TV (and Disney+) About this frightening creature and now the process is reverse: It is he who is on Earth

The plot follows Wendy (Sydney Chandler, Don’t worry, dear), a synthetic being with human consciousness, who leads a team of soldiers on a crucial mission to investigate the fall of an alien ship on Earth. At least that’s what we understand well in the beginning, but the series already shows that it intends to explore a more philosophical science fiction (style Blade Runner). Just observe the introduction of Prodigy Corporation and its founder, Boy Kavalier (Samuel Blenkin, Mickey 17), which are already fundamental to history.

At first, those who already know the style of Noah Hawley You can feel an atmosphere similar to that of the series Legion. The rhythm of the narrative is slower and dragged than usual, which makes room for debate: is it a creative choice or a need to lengthen the episodes? Anyway, this becomes a bit tiring in the first chapter, which causes sleep, but in the second the plot flows a lot better (perhaps by the dose of bloodstream brought by the Alien).

The script also has a very important detail: a priority is presented to us that synthetics could not develop their own feelings or emotions, but after Wendy demonstrate an excess concern for your brother, Kavalier Approve the rescue mission just to see where this “idea out of the curve” can lead. Highlight for the performance of Samuelwhich transforms (for your character) this mission into a great “Christmas”, full of enchantment and news to explore.

Also, in the first episodes, the directors Noah and Dana Gonzales (Fargo) honor the universe of Ridley Scott and Hr giger by creating a ambience and visuals totally faithful to the original. Claustrophobia, tension, practical effects and even direct references to situations experienced by Ripley and its crew are present at the beginning of the history of Alien: Earth. In episode 2, in particular, the focus on the building destroyed by the ship and the death trail left by the Xenomorfo and the other specimens (we must not forget them!) Already sympathizes with the rescue group and Wendy itself.

Now, wait to see how far the Prodigy and the Weyland-Yutani They are willing to go to the horrors that have fallen on earth and whether the series will have the courage to maintain the brutal and unsettling aesthetics that made the Alien universe an icon of science fiction.
