The start of one of the greatest series of Sci-fi films of all time!

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 1999)

This has to be one of my favorite films. This film is the base for H.R. Giger's nasty aliens which destroy the life of one unfortunate woman. The most memorable moment has to be when the alien explodes from Kane's (John Hurt) chest. From then on, Flight Officer Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) will suffer forever. Sigourney Weaver is excellent as Ripley, and there should also be a mention for a wonderfully human performance by Tom Skerritt (Captain Dallas). Although the film definitely does not to seem to follow logic, We never discover where the aliens come from, as in a home planet) this film trips along at quite a nice pace. A must for sci-fi fans, this film will get you hooked on the Alien series!
