由導演 費德·阿瓦雷茲(Fede Alvarez)執導的《異形:羅穆路斯》(Alien: Romulus)近日在北美舉辦媒體試映,這部 1979 年雷利·史考特(Ridley Scott)開山的《異形》系列全新「間傳」作品,獲得了媒體普遍讚譽。一些影評人一致認為,阿瓦雷茲交出了《異形》問世 45 年以來的最佳作品:
-
「《異形:羅穆路斯》是一場瘋狂的雲霄飛車之旅,穿梭於前六部《異形》電影之中,取用其中的精華來講述一個集中的、獨立性強的故事,充滿了血腥與驚悚。電影隨著進展越來越精彩,第三幕的高潮更是驚人。」
#AlienRomulus is a bonkers roller coaster ride through the previous six Alien movies, using bits of all them, to tell a focused, mostly standalone story filled with glorious gore & scares. It gets better as it goes along, ending with a phenomenal big swing of a third act. pic.twitter.com/mY8Hkbe0gD

「辣個壞女人回來了。起初我還持懷疑態度,但這絕對是全系列相較出色的作品之一。費德·阿瓦雷茲沒有讓人失望。音效設計和世界構築都非常出色。實景特效太棒了,甚至讓我做了噩夢。」
#AlienRomulus The bitch is back. Was skeptical going in, but this is easily one of the better films in the franchise. Fede Álvarez doesn't disappoint. Awesome sound design and world-building. The practical effects are so good that the film gave me nightmares. pic.twitter.com/Z46KNWxYhn

「費德·阿瓦雷茲的《異形:羅穆路斯》令人毛骨悚然、緊張刺激且絕望的美感充斥其中(從故事到奧利瓦雷斯(Olivares)的攝影再到沃爾菲施(Wallfisch)的配樂)。他巧妙地呈現了精明且有見地的內容,巧妙地演繹了最經典的元素。卡莉·史派妮(Cailee Spaeny)與大衛·強森(David Jonsson)表現極佳。一定會中!」
Fede Alvarez’s #AlienRomulus is gnarly, gripping & gorgeously bleak (everything from the story to Olivares’ cinematography to Wallfisch’s score). Innovatively delivering smart, savvy stuff, subtly playing the greatest hits. Cailee Spaeny & David Jonsson dominate. This rules! pic.twitter.com/kEuDZku2Oz

「《異形:羅穆路斯》完美地向原作致敬,盡可能地使用實景特效。這個做法效果非常好,以至於當使用 CGI 時會顯得突兀。電影開頭節奏較慢,但一旦進入正軌,你會全程屏息直到最後!」
Alien: Romulus pays perfect homage to the original, using practical effects whenever possible. This works so well that the CGI stands out when used. It is slow to start but man, once it gets going, you will be on the edge of your seat until the very end! #AlienRomulus pic.twitter.com/1o3urLGSiV

「電影中有很多值得喜愛的地方,出色的恐怖元素、令人毛骨悚然的畫面和令人難忘的生物設計!大衛·強森的表現令人印象深刻。然而,這部電影更多是將系列的精華元素結合在一起,而不是自成一格,角色則相對平庸。」
#AlienRomulus!
There’s a lot to love, with splendid horror elements, visceral imagery and incredible creature design! David Jonsson is a scene stealer. However, it rallies the best elements of the franchise together instead of standing on its own and characters are forgettable. pic.twitter.com/8NSlyW0PfY— Leo Rydel (@GeeklyGoods) August 13, 2024

「《異形:羅穆路斯》是一大勝利!阿瓦雷茲依然是業界最好的導演之一。電影的氛圍無可挑剔,異形的動作場面也非常出色。讓這部作品如此難忘的是其中一些創新的橋段。第三幕確實令人不安。」
#AlienRomulus is a big win!
Fede Álvarez continues to be one the best directors in the game.
The atmosphere is impeccable, and the Alien in action is terrific.
What really makes this entry memorable is how inventive some sequences are. A truly disturbing third act pic.twitter.com/uV7qWzname— Russ Milheim - The Direct (@RussMilheim) August 13, 2024

「《異形:羅穆路斯》是一部節奏穩健的科幻恐怖片。電影中散布著一些出色的驚嚇橋段。對原作和較新作品的致敬、有助於連接系列電影之間的空隙。整體上有很多高光時刻,也有少數低潮。凱莉·史派妮(Cailee Spaeny)和大衛·強森(David Jonsson)作為主角表現出色。
不過,第三幕開始有點搖擺不定。毫無疑問,這部分將會有些爭議,但就我個人而言,我覺得這比《普羅米修斯》(Prometheus)和《異形:聖約》(Alien: Covenant)中的嘗試更為出色。」
The third act is where it starts to get a bit shaky. No doubt it will be polarizing, but I for one dug it over what’s been tried in Prometheus and Covenant. #AlienRomulus
