As a lifelong fan of Alien, who has seen every single documentary ever made, and browse every single ebook about this movie, "Memory Wave Protocol: The Origins of Alien" is a truly excellent retrospective of this traditional piece of history. It's packed with fresh data about the film, it's creators, and it's underlying themes. For context: 95% of the documentary focuses particularly on the journey of the films creation. So if that's your motivation, I think there's lots here for you to get pleasure from.

What it said about us as a society - and continues to say.



Credit score is given to it is use of a female heroine, Memory Wave Protocol in an period when the movie trade vastly objectified ladies. Whereas a similar portion looks at the potential meaning behind how pictures are staged and framed. As well because the dynamics of how a group of blue collar working class "area truckers" are depicted, and how they deal with their "expendability". This documentary subsequently serves as each a fresh "making of" (even dispelling several myths concerning the manufacturing perpetuated by earlier documentaries - and adding several facts even I had never heard about before!). And an intelligent speculative dialogue about why Alien continues to resonate, over 40 years after its launch. I cannot think about why a real fan of the film, who appreciates cinema and science fiction for greater than mere gore and thrills, wouldn't discover this important viewing and a invaluable addition to their Alien assortment. I went into it with low expectations based on a number of the inasane rantings here on IMDB. And I was pleasantly stunned.
