The Void (2016)
Great practical effects, but flawed pacing.
The practical effects are really good in this movie. No unnecessary unconvincing CGI. That´s great. Too bad the build up and the pacing of the movie is too slow. The story in itself is great but it should have been told in a different way. It feels like a B-Movie with build up scenes that isn´t adding to make the movie a true gem. A more experienced writer could have taken this far further. It could have been a type of new The Thing movie (The original Carpenter one).
Alien³ (1992)
Vincent Ward helped kill the alien franchise.
Who is Vincent Ward? That's the genius writer who wanted Newt and Hicks out of the movie. Esoecially Newt, cause she annoyed him. Killing them was the biggest mistake of them all, no matter later production difficulties. It didn't get any better killing Ripley at the end either. It sure didn't help using a puppet alien in some scenes cause it just didn't look realistic enough to be convincing. The athmosphere of the movie is however on par with Alien and Aliens but fails to be as scary and claustrophobic as them. David Fincher did a good job with what he had to work with. The movie was doomed even before principal photography.
Aliens (1986)
Masterpiece.
If anything deserves rating 10 it's Alien and Aliens. Can't get better than this. 34 years after it was released it still is unchallenged. Truely a masterpiece.
The Puppet Masters (1994)
Watching it again 2020.
This is a low budget movie, much like a tv movie. The script isn't fantastic and could have been much better. Nevertheless its an ok invasion movie. See it again 2020 and you'll notice that the movie is better than a lot of newer sci fi budget movies. Julie Warner is also nice too look at.
I Am Legend (2007)
The crappy CGI killed the movie
Decent film but with horribly bad CGI. It just doenst work for me. Its so bad you just sigh. This movie could have been so good. How could the CGI zombies get the green light in the first place is beyond comprehension.
