Special Order 937

Rating: 10/10 (24 June 2005)

This is the ultimate sci-fi film of the century! It has a crap version of the alien but Ridley scott made the film about suspense so you know the alien is there but not see him till near the end. I saw the directors cut and thought the scenes that were cut should have been left in, especially where ripleys just activated the self destruct and finds dallas and brett in a cocoon state, which would explain the cocoons in ALIENS and why ripley freaks out when the marines find them. Parker was the funniest of the crew the way him and brett scare each other after letting the cat jonesy out the locker when looking for the alien. My favorite scene is where ripleys heading back to the shuttle and the alien id in the corridor and the music and suspense kicks in, that an ultimate scene.I also liked the bit where ripley trys to de-activate it and mother does not accept the abort sequence and ripley says " you bitch".." ohhh" and whacks mother one.
