Aliens, extended edition,
By
This review is from: Aliens: Newt's Tale
Newt's Tale is a good, solid movie adaptation of Aliens, with a few additions. The first twenty or so pages tells the story of Newt's family, and how the alien plague beset the colonists. It's interesting to get the backdrop to the story that we weren't provided in the regular edition Aliens movie. However, once the story moves to the Marines coming, it becomes a movie adaptation, strait across the board. Nothing new or original is added until the last page of the book.
It would have been strengthened if the adaptation were less literal, if it showed some of the more quiet moments the film missed. Still, Richardson's script is good, and Somerville is a good artist for the book. The aliens are dead on accurate in the way they look, although the people don't look exactly like the actors in the movie. If Rebecca Jorden, AKA Newt is one of your favorite characters, and you don't mind an adaptation graphic novel, this is a good addition to an Alien's collection. |
