In Space, No One Can Hear You.... Enjoying A Movie?

Rating: 9/10 (28 February 2015)

It's a good film and I enjoyed it. It is jumpy in scenes but that's just the movie itself. Since the whole movie isn't all just made out of the alien, it's the spooky atmosphere that is also really interesting. It's kind of creepy at first, the first half hour is deathly silent and you don't have a clue what's going to spring out at you.
The acting is great, Weaver, who plays Ripley, is astounding as one of the first female lead roles in Science Fiction films. The acting in this movie is awesome. They're not your average flawless super heroes you get in films these days, they're are actually real people who are just as scared of this thing as you.
The atmosphere of this movie really is creepy. It gives you goosebumps right from the beginning. You're sitting there just thinking, "Oh god, something is going to happen isn't it? I KNOW something bad is going to happen!" It's just got that chilling atmosphere that you don't see enough of these days.
The alien itself is really creatively designed. As usual, it's humanoid, like most alien films. But this one is different because you don't actually learn that much about the alien. It seems emotionless really. You don't ever find out if it has any flaws or emotions. All you know is that it's a cold hearted and very dangerous killer. With acid for blood and two mouths for some reason.
So yeah, the only flaw I could point out about this film (pushing its age aside) is the slowness to it. But I guess that just adds up to the suspense. If it was all rushed, it would have probably been less interesting. And you have to respect the fact that this film is a true science fiction classic and always will be.
