Fantastic!

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The look of the Nostromo in this film is mainly like a huge refinery, or oil platform in space, with dirt, steam and pipework everywhere.. The only exception is the crew areas, which has some softening comforts. So this is space as an industrial project. The alien horror is iconic, and the film captures well the claustrophobia and fear of the untrained crew as they battle a hunter which out classes them in all but technology. A Classic.

The next time you see a good modern sci-fi or horror movie think that it exist thanks to this film.Altough it has been rehearsaled, crossed over, parodied, and even ripped off with some fairly decent results, none of those will match the shivering atmosphere that's present within the clueless crew of the Nostromo ship against a force that's unknown, unstoppable and mercyless.This is the strain of nearly all modern creature horror and skipping it would be an insult to the genre, wether you like the movie or not.

In space no one can hear you scream the famous tagline of this classic and when you watch Alien you understand the tagline so much more. The story follows a deep space salvage team who get a a mystrious signal and they find something that will lead to the downfall of the entire crew. Leading the cast who is not considered the lead of the movie is Sigourney Weaver who plays female badass Ellen Ripley who goes from just a member of the crew to being the one who has to challenge the alien head on. Also in the cast is Tom Skerritt {Dallas}, Veronica Cartwright {Lambert}, Harry Dean Stanton {Brett}, John Hurt {Kane}, Ian Holm {Ash}, Yaphet Kotto {Parker}, Bolaji Badejo {Alien/xenomorph and Helen Horton who was the voice of mother. This British made sc-fi horror moie became one of the most defining movies for Ridley Scotts carrer and lauched him off as one of the best directors of the 20th century and alien plays on all of the elements of a horror movie with all of the errire shots of the insides of the ship has a looming feeling to it which defines the movies style for it's unique cinamatography style that creeps out even seasoned horror fans. The cast was was for a ship dynamic and they acted amazingly and there performances were iconic. Alien is a must for any horror fans and for any film buffs as well and it has become a pop culture icon which has since been consiered one of greatest sci-fi movies of all time and i think so and when you see you will think the same also Jonesy the space cat is also one of the best parts of this movie as well. I give it 9/10 and i would recomend it to anyone

An utterly suspenseful thriller, Alien continuously left me at the edge of my seat. One of the best films I have ever seen.
