Anyway, giving this film a 4/5. It's annoying, scary, interesting, boring at times, and overall a great sci-fi if you're into sci-fi thrillers with aliens.
There are many, many good things going for this masterpiece from Ridley Scott. One thing that always reaches out and grabs me though is the sublime atmosphere that sets the stage for this kind of Sci-fi. Compare it to, say, the first Star Trek motion picture that was released the same year or even Star Wars a few years prior, it's light years distant from that brand of Sci-fi. I particularly like how Earth isn't shown in either this film or its sequel. You know the planet has to have the look and feel of something like Blade Runner, but it's so effective to strand your characters so far from home. You absolutely feel isolated along with them and that serves to ratchet up the tension and the stakes. Many movie franchises have been the first to add different aspects to the Sci-fi genre and Alien stands proudly among them.
I've seen it when I was a child and since it one of the best film on my list. I saw all their parts that were after Alien, and I always wait for the next one. Some people can say that parts with Predator are not good enough and it's most commerce projects. However, I continue to watch it and enjoy it.
Ridley Scott gives us the story about the possible future and dangers which could be waiting for us. Nowadays, it's even more actual.
Of course, Sigourney Weaver. A great actress and like Emilia Clarke from Games of Thrones is a Mother of Dragons, Sigourney is a mother of Aliens.

The cinematography was great. It helped to convey the feeling of suspense and claustrophobia. Man, that alien is ugly!mook
I saw the 2003 'alternative cut' of the classic SciFi/Horror; not that I know the film well enough to notice the minor changes. 8/10.Follow me on Twitter @LastFilmSeen

Still the best Alien movie, slasher movie, sci-fi movie and horror movie. Lots of sequels, spin-offs and imitators; none even come close.kurvduam
