Great movie.

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2005)

With the possible exception of "Predator" this movie is the best and most intense science fiction movie ever made in the history of Hollywood. This movie offers everything a movie should have - a great story, excellent acting, a simple yet compelling plot, empathetic characters and a creature that is merciless, frightening and loathsome. Further, this movie stands the test of time and is as watchable today as it was when it was first released in 1979. Every character in this movie has an important role and every line in the script is taut with tension as the crew of the space ship, isolated and alone in the middle of nowhere, try to figure out how to defeat a monster that seems invincible and is hunting them one-by-one. If you haven't seen this movie, see it.
