A Milestone of Films

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2005)

An EXCELLENT movie, one of the best sci-fi movies ever, in my opinion. This and maybe 2001: A Space Odyssey. Holds up great, even after 26 years! The characters are all very solid, even the ones knocked off early! Scott did an excellent job rising the creep factor higher and higher, along with Giger. H.R. Giger is a GENIUS! His designs are so unique, and odd, yet fascinating. The Alien itself, the Space Jockey, the Space Jockey's Ship, The Nostromo. It was all so excellently innovated. I LOVED the look of the Nostromo. It's just so creepy. The claustrophobic feel of everything, the Gothic look with the paneling on the walls, and the shapes of the halls (hey, that rhymes!) it always feels like something's not quite right. Like there's something you missed, something wrong. It added to the creep factor of this movie an incredible amount. In my opinion, 10/10! If you're a horror fan, or a sci-fi fan, or just a plain movie goer, this film is for you!
