10/10 as a Sci-Fi Horror 8/10 as an overall Viewable Film

Rating: Null/10 (26 September 2004)

This is certainly a Classic Sci-Fi horror. The best of the Alien series in my opinion, particularly because of the suspense. The fact you do not properly see the alien, just catch glimpses. The terror of being hunted, at first not even knowing that you are being hunted.
This is believable Sci_Fi horror. It is delivered at a real-time pace, which is realistic. The characters behave how a lot of people would behave in that situation. They are not soldiers. They are not prepared for what finds them.
The ending is classic. A sting in the tail. Some people were leaving the cinema when they thought it was over - but it wasn't quite over!
