In Space No One Can Hear You Scream - Ironic Sci-fi at its best.

Rating: 10/10 (19 October 2018)

What is there that I can say about Alien, that hasn't been said already. The foreboding Sci-fi elements that gave us a gritty and realistic sci-fi universe, that didn't just look the part but with characters that weren't just feel like actors playing a part but real people experiencing a life or death situation. It's also one of those movies that came at the right time, Dan O'Bannon and HR Giger straight off the failed Dune project and Star Wars being released by Fox the year before production. What came was one of the most unique and iconic films to come out of the 20th Century. Horrifying, excellent direction, brilliant special effects, a cast that perfectly fit their roles and a great script. Again, what can I say about Alien, that hasn't already been said. If you haven't seen it, watch it immediately. From the dinner/chest buster scene, Ash turning out to be an android, when they first land onto the planet, the scene where Ripley jettisons the creature out of the air-lock, hell there are so many iconic scenes that I could mention.
Great score, great effects, great direction, great design, great acting, great script, great damn well everything. It's a brilliant movie that if you haven't seen, you should watch this right now. This is not just a great movie for Halloween but for everytime in the year. A gory and foreboding masterpiece with an underlaying anti-corporate metaphor, what more could you ask for in a Sci-fi movie or a film in general.
