Alien: Earth’s Odd But Interesting Use of the Alien – ScreenHub Entertainment

When the Alien prequels were released about a decade ago now, I wasn’t exactly a fan. To me, sidelining the monster in favor of the story of David 8 seemed a disservice to what came before. Why was it so hard to do a smart, stylish monster movie in the spirit of the original trilogy? So, needless to say, had Alien: Earth been released around … Continue reading Alien: Earth’s Odd But Interesting Use of the Alien – ScreenHub Entertainment

Does the ‘Alien: Earth’ Finale Stick The Landing? Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Alien: Earth’s finale picks up pretty much where we left off last week, where everything is coming to a head, and the integrity of Prodigy as a company seems to be crumbling around them. But did the finale stick the landing after an otherwise promising and intriguing season? Sort of. I confess that I was a bit let down by the finale, titled The Real Monsters. … Continue reading Does the ‘Alien: Earth’ Finale Stick The Landing? Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Alien: Earth ‘Emergence’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Things really start to come ahead in this week’s episode of Alien: Earth, the penultimate episode of this season. Multiple plot points end colliding, often violently, in this fast-paced episode of escape attempts and xenomorph carnage. One such plot point was Slightly’s attempt to get Arthur and the incubating alien to the beach, where Morrow is to rendezvous with them on the beach. But of … Continue reading Alien: Earth ‘Emergence’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Alien: Earth ‘The Fly’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Last week’s episode of Alien: Earth was so good that the odds of this week’s episode being as good or better were pretty low. And I’d say that’s on the money. Not that this week was bad; it was pretty consistent with the rest of the season, actually. However, we definitely came off a high this week, and there were some more noticeable cracks in … Continue reading Alien: Earth ‘The Fly’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Alien: Earth ‘In Space, No One…’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Noah Hawley returns to the director’s chair in the fifth episode of Alien: Earth, and I’d argue this episode is not only the best of the show so far, but one of the best entries in the Alien franchise. The whole episode served as one giant flashback aboard the Maginot, showcasing what happened to the crew before the ship crashed down in Prodigy City. I … Continue reading Alien: Earth ‘In Space, No One…’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Alien: Earth ‘Observation’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Episode four of Alien: Earth is probably my second favourite of the series thus far, after the premiere episode. It pumps the brakes quite a bit, but in slower zone, the show takes time to pose some interesting questions and setup the driving force of the rest of the season. I can see why some people may not be a fan of the slow burn, … Continue reading Alien: Earth ‘Observation’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Alien Earth: ‘Metamorphosis’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Metamorphosis is a pretty apt name for the third episode of Alien: Earth, signifying some sort of change. There’s been quite a bit of change that happened this week, as the episode pulled back from monster mayhem and back into the intrigue and scheming of the corporations. The main thing the episode’s title is likely referring to is the change in Wendy. After finding her … Continue reading Alien Earth: ‘Metamorphosis’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

First Thoughts on ‘Alien: Earth’ – ScreenHub Entertainment

To say it has been an interesting few years for the Alien franchise would be an understatement. After a brief period of relative silence, broken only by the occasional comic, novel or video game, the series has not only returned to the big screen with Alien: Romulus, but made its television debut with the FX series Alien: Earth. Set before the events of Alien (1979), … Continue reading First Thoughts on ‘Alien: Earth’ – ScreenHub Entertainment

Alien Earth: ‘Mr. October’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment

Alien: Earth debuted with not one, but two episodes this week and introduced a bit of corporate intrigue with a healthy dose of mayhem and carnage. The episode, titled Mr. October, picks up right where we left off and focuses heavily on the xenomorph mayhem this time around. Many, many, people are ripped to shreds as the “perfect organism” makes its way through the Prodigy … Continue reading Alien Earth: ‘Mr. October’ Spoiler Review – ScreenHub Entertainment
