It's more than well done combination of great acting,directing and a script. The movie is supposed to be considered just a thriller,while it covers much wider spectrum of genres. The basis is a science fiction story, yet here the plot is much more phylosofic and scince fiction is only a frame coming to emphasize the main ideas which are universal, such as : Human existanse and its price,the essence of difference between human and organic,which is not only the intellect (see the sciene of Ash's "death").
Every time Ridley Scott deals with such ideas (see Blade Runner) the output is overwhelming. The presence of Sigourney Wiever is electrifying.The first pheminist intergalactic heroine couldn't find a better actress, and let's not forget the design of every little thing we see there,hey fellows it was only 1979,which means no computer graphics!!!! I'm not sure i would have managed to see the movie without closing my eyes, had it been done than with all the computer technics of the day
