The Big Picture

• Alien: Isolation - The Digital Series bridges the gap between Alien and Aliens , following Amanda Ripley's search for her missing mother.
• The conversion from video game to digital series adds depth to the characters and completes Amanda Ripley's story in a more introspective way.
• Amanda Ripley's compelling character arc in Alien: Isolation explores themes of closure, self-sacrifice, and determination in the face of the Xenomorph threat.

Alien: Romulus has finally burst its way into theaters, and it has fans and casual viewers alike looking back at this franchise's nearly 50-year run. Were you one of the many disappointed by Ridley Scott 's Alien prequels? Are you a defender of David Fincher 's divisive Alien 3 ? However, even the most devoted horror fans may not have heard of an Alien installment that deserves more recognition — Alien: Isolation . Originally starting as a horror video game in 2014, Isolation changed shifted format in 2019 in honor of the 40th anniversary of the original 1979 film. T his game-turned-digital series follows Amanda, the daughter of Sigourney Weaver's Ellen Ripley , as she seeks to discover what happened to her mother 15 years earlier. Serving as a prequel of sorts to James Cameron 's Aliens — or more appropriately, an interquel between Alien and Aliens — Alien: Isolation - The Digital Series bridges the gap and tells a familiar tale of survival in the darkest reaches of space.

Alien (1979)

What happens in 'alien: isolation'.

Alien: Isolation begins with Amanda Ripley ( Andrea Deck ) being hired by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation to go in search of the Nostromo's official logs. The company is still seeking the truth behind what happened there, and as a result, Amanda, W-Y lawyer Nina Taylor ( Emerald O'Hanrahan ), and the android Christopher Samuels ( Anthony Howell ) find their way into the Sevastopol. At the beginning of their mission, Amanda is separated from her Torrens crewmates, putting her in the path of deadly synthetics, violent colonists, and a xenomorph , which has been stalking those on board. Things get trickier when Amanda is introduced to Henry Marlow ( Sean Gilder ), the incarcerated captain of the Anesidora who discovered the Nostromo's flight recorder.

Marlow explains that he and his crew found LV-426 by retracing the Nostromo's steps. It's then that one of his crew is attacked by a facehugger, and they bring her back to the Anesidora for treatment, ultimately making their way to the Sevastopol. At this point in the franchise, what comes next is not surprising to anyone except the in-world characters: A chestburster rips its way into existence and grows into a full-fledged xenomorph. Amanda realizes that Marlow's confirmation that the Nostromo was on LV-426 means something unthinkable likely happened to her mother . Of course, that only happens after she and Colonial Marshal Waits ( William Hope ) attempt to hunt down the xenomorph first, but this part of the ship gets ejected, trapping the creature with Amanda still inside. Forced out into space once more, Amanda fights to return to the Sevastopol. Unfortunately for the young Ripley, the Weyland-Yutani androids aboard the space station have a different agenda.

The synthetics begin killing the rest of the survivors, including Waits, on the orders of APOLLO, the station's A.I. controlled by Weyland-Yutani. Samuels attempts to convince APOLLO that the alien threat was neutralized, but to no avail, resulting in his "death." To make things worse, Amanda also discovers that her crewmate Taylor was sent by the company to retrieve one of the extraterrestrials, and she freed Marlow to find the location of LV-426. Unfortunately, there's still a threat on board the Sevastopol as more xenomorphs show up . At this time, Marlow shares with Amanda a recording from the Nostromo, in which her mother, Ellen Ripley, explains what happened to her . As Marlow overloads the Anesidora's reactor in hopes of killing all the aliens, Ripley is forced to escape to her ship, the Torrence, as the last survivor, echoing her mother's final moments in Alien before being rescued. While there's more to it than that, we'll let you enjoy the rest.

Adapting 'Alien: Isolation' From a Video Game to a Web-Series Makes the Story More Introspective

When working on the video game-to-digital series conversion, director Fabien Dubois and writer Jeff Juhasz had to pair down the content of the original game, while simultaneously adding enough new material to make things interesting. " We then made storytelling choices based on the idea that we would be going deeper into Amanda Ripley's psychology ," Dubois told distribution partner IGN in 2019. "The final series is comprised of three types of scenes: brand-new scenes that are rendered from scratch, cinematics taken directly from the game, and first-person scenes from the game we re-shot, edited and inserted a CG model of Amanda Ripley." According to the director, Alien: Isolation - The Digital Series is identical to the 2014 video game in plot but effectively completes Amanda's story.

"We go further into the psyche of the characters, we added a space adventure that doesn't exist in the game, and we build out the world," the director added, noting that the way in which these stories are both told affects how we view Amanda and her character arc. The additional material made just for The Digital Series is noticeable, and there are certainly things cut out from the original gameplay of Isolation that aren't missed in this tighter take on the narrative. In many ways, this feels like a step further in the right direction concerning video game-based web series ( Terminator Salvation: The Machinima Series comes to mind ), taking what worked in the original medium and adapting it better for general audiences.

Every 'Alien' Movie, Ranked

In space, no one can hear you scream about how much you disagree with this ranking.

But the biggest change is that the whole story is better framed from Amanda Ripley's distinct point of view, with most episodic installments book-ended by her narration as she recounts the events of Isolation . Not only does this give us a better launching point to get directly into Amanda's head, but it allows us to learn important details about her via narration without wasting too much time on it. One such detail concerns Amanda's fractured relationship with her stepfather, Paul Carter, a man who was left to raise Amanda after Ripley disappeared. Though that piece of information isn't vital to the series' plot, it helps us better connect with the character in a way we wouldn't have been able to in the video game. (This is also expanded upon in the official Alien: Isolation novelization.)

Amanda Ripley Is a Compelling Protagonist Who Continues the Alien Tradition

Unlike Ellen Ripley, whose motivations in Alien were pure survival ( and to atone for abandoning her daughter, but that only comes in Aliens ) , Amanda Ripley joins the mission not for honor or glory, but because she is desperate to know the truth. More than anything, the mystery behind her mother's disappearance has haunted her for her entire life. It's defined her, and continues to define her throughout Alien: Isolation . We know from the opening of Aliens that Amanda eventually grew old, dying at the age of 66 after marrying, though she didn't have any children of her own. Perhaps Isolation gives us a brief window into why that is, helping us to better understand how Amanda wrestled with her own mother's absence, and likely not wishing to repeat that cycle herself. If Alien: Isolation is about anything, it's closure, and that satisfaction is exactly what fans get here with The Digital Series .

Alien: Isolation notes that, from her youth, Amanda was practically raised by Weyland-Yutani after what happened to her mother. In fact, they paid for everything from her school to her bail before she made herself vital to the company. Of course, like her mother, she has her own reasons for working with Weyland-Yutani . Just as Ripley sought to see the end of the Xenomorphs in Aliens , so too does Amanda seek the destruction of the very thing the company is desperate to attain in Isolation . Unsurprisingly, this puts her at odds with almost everyone in the story, and those who would help her in this quest don't exactly get a new lease on life themselves. It's a familiar story, to be sure, but this time told through an equally compelling character who is certainly not the Ripley we're used to . Amanda is more headstrong, more driven, and feels the need to prove herself in a way her mother never did.

But for all their differences, Amanda and her mother are still very similar, and that's a major part of why Alien: Isolation works — both as a video game and a digital web series. No, we're not retreading the same story beats like some of the more recent Terminator or Star Wars installments but rather, we're explore the effects of the original Alien picture through new eyes . Both women are fiercely self-sacrificing, and each has a heroic streak in them . More than that, their sheer determinism, resourcefulness, and courage give them an edge against the titular monsters that their companions sorely lack. Perhaps this is why a Ripley is always the one left standing in the best Alien adventures, where almost everyone else is devoured in the creature's tiny jaws.

'Alien: Isolation' Takes Place a Few Years Before 'Alien: Romulus'

As for where in the Alien timeline this takes place; well, that's the interesting part. According to Aliens , Amanda died about 56 years after Ripley disappeared. Alien: Isolation claims that Ripley disappeared 15 years prior to the events of the web series, when Amanda was only 11, setting the events of Isolation in the year 2137 if the original Alien took place in 2122 . That means that Amanda is only 26 during the events of Isolation , with her whole life ahead of her. According to what we know from Alien s then, Amanda died in the year 2178. (The novelization of the film explains that she died from cancer, but the movie never mentions it.) Isolation also takes place only five years before the events of the interquel Alien: Romulus , meaning some minor overlap between the two is certainly possible.

If anything can be said about Alien: Isolation - The Digital Series , it's that, despite the project's video game origins , it stands truly on its own. Sure, a lot of the material is pulled from video game cutscenes and sometimes the character's mouths don't seem to move right, but if you can get past that, you're in for an exciting ride. If you've played the game already, you will likely enjoy the web series, but if you haven't (or played a little bit of it and chickened out, as this author may have), then rest assured that you don't have to be familiar with the material to enjoy The Digital Series . Before you go out to see Alien: Romulus , be sure to give Alien: Isolation a try. At the very least, it will give you closure concerning one of the most heartbreaking aspects of all Alien lore .

Alien: Isolation - The Digital Series can be streamed for free on YouTube.

Where to Watch Emerald Falls

Emerald Falls is an enthralling 2008 Australian crime drama teeming with mystery, suspense, and a rich tapestry of characters. This mesmerizing film, directed by Peter Andrikidis and written by Michaeley O'Brien, features an impressive cast led by Georgie Parker, Thom Green, and Vince Colosimo, each delivering breathtaking performances that elevate the movie's emotional quotient.

At the center of Emerald Falls is the character of Sonny Hammond, brilliantly portrayed by Thom Green. Hammond is a boy haunted by his past, living in a world of torment and agony due to an unforeseen tragedy. Green brings layers of subtlety and charm to his role, painting a young man with a troubled past seeking redemption. His disarming portrayal reflects the taciturn fortitude Marino always dreamed mattered most to his father when life’s most formidable trials arose.

Georgie Parker plays Liz Kennedy, a dynamic and fearsome woman with an indomitable spirit. Being a single mother and running a vineyard—a gift from her husband who passed away—Liz is living on the edge. She is determined to find the truth when a series of mysterious incidents take place on the winery, penetrating its pastoral calm. Parker, as always, shines in her role, presenting a blend of strength, vulnerability, and resilience that beautifully underpins her character.

Vince Colosimo, as Detective Tony Marin, offers an engaging performance as the unwavering force of law and order. His steely resolve and tenacious spirit in carrying out his duties add more intensity to the movie's already intriguing plot. His quest for justice further complicates the complex interplay of events, and it is this struggle, fraught with danger and unpredictability, that keeps the audience on tenterhooks.

Emerald Falls is more than a simple whodunit; it's a mesmerizing tale of forgiveness, redemption, and resilience against adversity. The movie beautifully encapsulates the ebbs and flows of life in the idyllic yet unsettling vineyard setting. The vineyard's rustic charm juxtaposed with a sense of looming dread serves as an appropriate backdrop for the unfolding drama, adding a unique flavor to the narrative.

Moreover, the movie realizes an insightful exploration into the human psyche, touching on themes of existential dread, the yearning for acceptance, and the crushing weight of unaddressed past trauma. The film navigates these delicate waters with poise and grace, handling its complex, emotional narratives with a keen sensitivity that makes its characters all the more relatable and human.

The screenplay, penned by Michaeley O'Brien, is deftly written and provides the actors with ample room to deliver compelling performances, thus contributing greatly to the film's overall impact. The narrative seamlessly switches from tense conversations to high-stakes sequences, the twists and turns artfully designed to keep audiences captivated and yearning for more.

Director Peter Andrikidis successfully creates a measured pace for the mystery to unravel, gradually revealing the clues and red herrings in an engaging progression that keeps viewers guessing throughout. Andrikidis exhibits an astute understanding of suspense and tension, utilizing these elements to their fullest to construct a riveting spectacle interspersed with moments of calm and chaos.

The cinematography by Mark Wareham is stunningly evocative, capturing the vivid, picturesque beauty of Australia's landscapes and using it to juxtapose the unease that permeates the story. The sweeping shots of the vineyard appear particularly exquisite on screen, further immersing the viewer into the world of Emerald Falls.

Accompanying the strong visuals is the sophisticated soundtrack by composer Burkhard Dallwitz. The score is both haunting and poignant, encapsulating the movie's underlying themes, and amplifying moments of suspense and emotional intensity.

In summary, Emerald Falls is a compelling drama that manages to strike a balance between being a traditional crime mystery and an emotional, character-driven narrative. The 2008 movie, with its perfect blend of suspense, drama, and intriguing storyline, is sure to captivate anyone hungry for an engaging and gripping cinematic experience. The performances, narrative, visuals, and sound design all come together effortlessly, making Emerald Falls an unforgettable journey into the heart of a small community, warmed by love, marred by mystery, and defined by courage.

Emerald Falls is a TV Movie, Drama movie released in . It has a runtime of 96 Critics and viewers have rated it moderate reviews, with an IMDb score of 5.7..

First Review: Emerald Falls

• Published by David Knox
• on March 15, 2008
• Filed under Reviews

In any given week, all the big rating shows are predominantly Australian – although admittedly we’re top-heavy with observational series. Still, we’re actually in the midst of an upward surge in drama production with Underbelly, City Homicide, Canal Road and more. By the end of this month there will have been three new local dramas from TEN, the ABC and UK TV.

TEN’s telemovie Emerald Falls is something of a ‘treechange’ tale about Joni Ferguson (Georgie Parker, also Associate Producer) who establishes a B&B in the Blue Mountains. Joni mothers a cluey teenage son Zac (Tom Green), son of her ex-hubby (Rhys Muldoon).

Life’s tough in bush paradise, with few customers and the bank at the door, so the last thing she needs is to find her friend and local doctor (Andrew McFarlane) dead on the floor of his surgery. Thrown into the mix are a local minister (Catherine McClements), some laid-back, dim-witted cops (Geoff Morrell and Leon Ford) and a potential Mr. Right (Vince Colosimo) who comes to stay under Joni’s roof.

However, as Emerald Falls shifts into something of a whodunit, the tone becomes confused. Few of the adults seem particularly adept at responding to the doctor’s death. Natural causes? Foul play? Nobody seems to know, but it doesn’t stop them from behaving strangely well before the autopsy. Meanwhile, teenager Zac starts a Poiroit-like piecing together of evidence, driven by his own suspicions. Add quirky direction and the whole thing begins to feel better suited to children’s TV.

There are endless shots of Blue Mountains’ vistas as characters exchange lines on gorgeous bushwalks. The landscape is arguably the most consistent performer in this slight tale. As it builds to a Blue Heelers -like crescendo, it all suffocates under the weight of its own silliness.

In 2005, Nine tried to spook us with the mountainside mystery, Little Oberon , with Sigrid Thornton. The ingredients here must have seemed ripe for a series too: Georgie Parker, the Blue Mountains, a B&B. Alas, it arrives as little more than a missed opportunity, curiously slated outside of ratings

ok, i loved Emerald falls last night, but i fell asleep!!! No reflection on the show, i was exhausted. Can someone fill me?Last thing I remember was when Vince Colosimos character was blackmailing Georgie’s characted to sell her the house, by threatening to pull the party he had booked. my email is [email protected] much appreciated

My daughter and myself stayed up to watch this thinking that it was a new serial! When it kept going we checked the guide to find out that it was a movie. Well we loved it so much that we were disappointed that it isn’t a continuing drama series. If the producers ever read these comments I reckon you should do a series based on this. The characters are great and it is totally different than anything else on TV. Well done! My daughter and I were still talking about it this morning!!

I only saw Emerald Falls because it came on after SYTYCD, otherwise I’d never have tried it. I thought it was good, not fantastic, but I did manage to stay with it for the whole 2 hrs. Ending was a surprise and some good one-liners crept into the script too which made it more watchable. But I can perhaps see why this was held off until a non-ratings week as it wasn’t a stand-out production but I agree with David, 3 stars.

I quite liked this! Yes, it was a little silly, but it was entertaining, and isn’t that what TV is all about?

I hate underbelly. It’s so violent. But this one, Emerald Falls, and Little Oberon were both great. I’m really sorry that Little Oberon wasn’t released on DVD or made in to a series (although I did get the soundtrack). As for Emerald Falls. I’ve just finished it and although parts of it were a bit preditable I know I’ve watched something good when it’s 2 hours and only feels like one. Plus I loved the shots of my much loved home. 🙂 Good Aussie drama.

Heh, reading that I was about to say “Little Oberon” and then David said it for me 😀

Emerald Falls sounds… well, boring as hell, actually. Myself, I’m looking forward to the upcoming Susie Porter drama on the ABC.

Underbelly is with out a doubt the BEST Aussie TV show I have ever seen. Great story, acting, writing, well shot and awesome soundtrack.
