Best Sci-Fi Movie Ever

Rating: 10/10 (24 June 2005)

Alien is by far one of the greatest movies made. Directed by Ridley Scott, you can tell by the eerie, bleak opening credits that your not in for a pleasant ride.
This movie starts out with introducing us to the crew of the Nostromo, who are returning to Earth. Along the way they receive a distress signal. They go and investigate and everything takes a turn for the worst when a crew member comes back on board with a parasite attached to his face. When the alien then breaks free all hell is raised.
This is a great movie. The suspense is by far some of the best filmed and the dark atmosphere heightens are sense of terror. Well acted by Sigouney Weaver, Ian Holm and Tom Skerrit this is a genre defining movie which holds to date one of the most shocking scenes ever filmed. The 'Chestburster.'
5/5
