If any movie should be represented as a Sci-Fi Classic, this should be it!

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2001)

This is the best Sci-Fi movie ever. It's so original. The Alien itself is the best special effects monster ever (don't shove that Predator crap in my face either, it was good, but this blew it right off the map), and the huge mining ship was very gloomy, but the most impressive piece of scenery was the alien's home planet.
Ridley Scott has directed the best Sci-Fi film ever! The whole movie is very suspenseful, and the scene where the creature breaks its way through the guys chest is one of the goriest, yet most memorable scenes in movie history.
Tom Skerritt and Sigourney Weaver made an excellent team trying to fight off the 8 foot killing machine. The Suspense is gripping, the violence is subtle, but not too subtle, the Alien is frightening, and the surrounding of the distant future is bleak and almost gothic. All you Sci-Fi fans out there who haven't seen this, what are you waiting for, go rent it and you won't be disappointed! 9/10
