All of the superlatives in the world are not enough..

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2008)

Quite simply one of the greatest films ever made.. Years ahead of its time in every way, concepts, script, acting, cinematography all combine for an execution which is totally flawless...It started the greatest of all movie franchises, malevolent, dark, scary, credible and visionary.
H.R Giger's alien is magnificent, beyond reasoning hellbent on mindless slaughter yet intelligent and cunning. A creature who's dark allure still to this day holds our imagination and fear in equal measure.
Next year the film will be 30 years old which I still find staggering, Ridley has made a timeless classic, the visual presentation is as sumptuous as any modern day sci-fi.
