Alien: Earth Reviews

Lots of fanboys bitching about this. Same clowns who only worship the OG Terminator, Star Wars, and Predator. Whine whine whine.

Rating: 7.9/10

Alien: Earth is a bold, intelligent, and visually spectacular new chapter in the iconic sci-fi saga. Showrunner Noah Hawley delivers a complex and thematically dense story that expands the franchise's lore in ambitious new directions.

Highlights
- Masterful Screenplay: The screenplay is a work of ambitious, high-concept science fiction that explores corporate espionage, transhumanism, and humanity.
- Stunning Visuals: The series is visually stunning, with incredible production design, cinematography, and creature designs.
- Fantastic Cast: The ensemble cast is fantastic, with standout performances from Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, and Timothy Olyphant.

Criticisms
- Dense Plot: The plot is extremely dense and convoluted, with a massive cast of characters and complex sci-fi concepts.
- Xenomorph Sidelined: The iconic Xenomorph can feel sidelined by the more prominent storylines of corporate intrigue and philosophical debate.

Verdict
Alien: Earth is a smart, stylish, and ambitious series that rewards patient and attentive viewers. It's a must-see for fans of thought-provoking, adult-oriented science fiction and a worthy prequel to the original masterpiece.

Seems like a movie for young adults. Has a very childish tone and just hard for me to take seriously. I understand they want to be different but this seems like it’s not even in the alien universe

Who on earth is hiring the creatives for this franchise? Alvarez, Trachtenberg, and now Hawley. A streak of absolute peak, and to come even remotely close to the mastery of either Scott or Cameron is a talent worth admiring. The lore, story, references, and characters are insane, and granted, it's not all perfect, but I was intensely hooked. I love how ironically human the actors look too and how well they fit into their roles, especially Olyphant. As for the production, FX has yet to disappoint. Although for a scale this big, the perspectives felt small, and the posters suck. Regardless, the practicality, locations, score, sets, effects, and designs all delivered. I'll be devastated if this doesn't win big, as it's probably the best show I've seen all year.

Truly disapointing. Nothing happens and the xenomorph is reduced to a simple pet... The actors are empty and the characters annoying, you can't get attached. A lot of promises that never come to an end because surprise, you'll see everything interesting in the next seasons !

Peak. One of the best things to happen to the Alien franchise.

Absolutely the best show I have seen in 20 years. Every episode is like its own movie. They didn’t hold back with the quality. Feels retro and current at the same time.

I highly recommend t.

foda!

can't wait!

This was such a freaking dope badass inclusion into the franchise. If I wasn’t mentally ill, I would’ve binged this instantaneously. The expansion of the universe with what the corporations are doing on earth was SO interesting, scary, emotional, so many twists, just… wowzers.

absolute banger of a show.

incredible vfx, sound design, color palette, production design. all around amazing production from fox.

there definitely should be a szn ii.

all the creatures especially the small fucking octopus with hexagon eyes gave me so much anxiety.

every time bro had screen time i would be on my toes.

9.7 / 10

Fingers crossed for a 2nd season.

They breathed new life into the Alien franchise, narrating the story through a child’s eyes — portraying the loss of humanity, the dehumanizing treatment as test subjects, and the struggle to process trauma — they gave the plot a stronger backbone 10/10 👽

As a prequel to the classic Alien (1979), it doesn’t try to compare or be its equal. It is original in its own way of portraying Aliens in Earth and AI vs humans. The Kirsh character and their development throughout the episodes makes you wonder:
When is a machine not a machine?

Smee is my spirit animal!

Chandler stole the show!

Come on season two!

Such a surprisingly great show. Highly recommend 🔥
