Memory: The Origins of Alien (2019)

Memory: The Origins of Alien: Directed by Alexandre O. Philippe. With Bijan Aalam, Tim Boxell, Axelle Carolyn, Veronica Cartwright. An in-depth voyage into the sci-fi film “Alien” with the visionary filmmakers who created it. See how one of the most terrifying movies of all time came to life 40 years ago, inspired by ancient mythology and our universal fears.

“Well, the only GOOD news is, hopefully one day someone will take the helm and do a truly comprehensive documentary about u0026quot;Alienu0026quot;. This is NOT it. u0026quot;Alienu0026quot; certainly deserves it. While this documentary may include some existential and interesting contributions not before stated it certainly lacks in giving credit where credit is due. Alien is an artistic endeavor and unfortunately leaves out a whole lot of artists involved. Where was Ron Cobb (set design) and Mobius (costume, and ship design). Oh, no. Those were all RIDLEYu0026#39;s ideas (according to the documentary). And what about POST PRODUCTION? Ben Burtt is mentioned ONCE and NO mention at all about music and this is what really amazed me, NO MENTION about editorial. If you are a true u0026quot;Alienu0026quot; fan then you will have heard MOST of what is in this already. Give it a pass and hope for somebody later to pick up and carry the torch.”
