Review title: Career threatening analysis
Product review: Thomson makes bizare mistakes that leave you wondering whether he saw the same films. It might have helped if he had paid attention in physics class; he might of understood how the alien was destroyed by water in the third Alien film. His analysis of each film is marred by obvious contradictory elements. Most of his criticisms are not original and could have been overheard in coffee shops in the first week of release. And his rewrite of Alien 4, with Bishop as stud in a sexual fantasy ... ??? That truely boggles the mind. The real problems of the later film lay in scripting and production influences, which is hardly rocket science. The book is not without value, but it wouldn't be particularly helpfull in understanding the success of the first two films and the failure of the second two. In fact, the same bogus intellectualization that took down the later films seems to also ruin Thomson's book.
