As good as you'd expect it to be

Rating: 7/10 (23 March 2019)

The important thing to have in mind when watching this movie is paying attention to the movie itself, story, atomosphere and horror, much more than the acting, music and dialogues. Not to omit, this is 1979, a great deal of work has put into this movie.
Remarkable scene decor and fantastic designs of the ship, rooms, vessels, equipment and the planet(!). I loved everything about this movie regarding the set. Panavision, indeed, has done a great job providing the crew with space to be creative, and what an incredible job by the crew!
Well-desereved award winning movie, transfers us into a commercial spaceship and then will let us alone in the dark space, experimenting with our survival instincts.
8 years later oscar nominee Sigourney Weaver, who played the leading actress, to me was rigid, forced and a bit artificial in her role. Her character, however, is particularily a favorite of mine, following rules and taking control when necessary, judging others and a deep suspicion that is just fit for her. Adequetly brave, as in not adventurous enough to take unnecessary risks, but brave enough to push her limits. While I get the shuttle scene where she's in her revealing top and the smallest panties they could find for her, indicating a finally-achieved moment of redemption, I don't get the necessity for the small panty! Is that really comfortable?
Let's talk about ash, everything about Ash is disturbing from the beginning, to the point that there are naked pictures and magazines on his desk. Does anyone understand why he tried to put the magzine in her mouth? Even as what he was, he should have been more efficient with his killing/smothering methods.
To movie, this movie is great in production, not so great in other aspects. 7/10.
