OK, i've seen all of the alien and predator movies, including alien versus predator, (i own them all), and i'll tell u, this was probably the scariest of 'em all, ill have 2 say. especially when tom skirt or whoever that guy was, when he was in the air shafts and he turned around and the alien jumped out right at him!
Alien was the scariest of the series, but not the best. even Alien3 was a bit better, id have to say, sadly. um... but i guess since Alien was made in 1979, it was pretty good...back then, i guess. it may have been better than AvP, because there wasn't that many scary parts to alien versus predator. but id give alien a good high rating, considering the circumstances it was made in.
id give the gore factor a low rating, because it's not all about that in this movie. it's more scary than gory. id have to also give the swearing a low mark, cause it wasn't as much as the rest of the series, (especially Alien3). but if u look closely on the wall at Ripley's feet when she is thrown on the bed thing, there are pictures of all these women...i shan't go on...? that was kinda uncalled for. the entire movie was pretty well done, i think.
If i could change some parts, i think i would, though. I'm not that sure of this, but i didn't get it when Ripley got the paper thing shoved in her mouth, and she couldn't breathe.... like, why doesn't she breathe through her nose???? {:=l well, i guess its not that believable.
well, i don't want to spoil the movie for u if u haven't seen it yet, because i strongly recommend this. then aliens, then alien3, then alien resurrection, then predator, then predator2, then alien versus predator. those are some of my favorite movies. but I'm not going to review on those, sadly.
so overall, id give Alien a high mark, like 859/1000 and i would recommend it to anyone who is in sci-fiction/horror movies.
