Alien

Rating: 9/10 (10 February 2014)

There is a lot that can be said about this movie. First of all I just have to say that I'm very impressed by the special effects of the movie, and also about its ageless image considering the year it was made. This is one of the best Sci-Fi movies out there, it's a classic.
First of all the pacing of the movie is so well done, and it's necessary to be that way so it improves the horror effect on the viewers. You can actually see the movie and start thinking "there is something wrong happening". Then the shadowy ambient surrounding the spaceship and also the point-of-view scenes that make us "run" with the characters is wonderful.
The cast is very good, with a good center performance by Sigourney Weaver mainly. And the very design of the alien is horrifying, with a humanoid form but without showing any expressions meaning it is a cruel killer. The sound and images go very good together pacing the story combined also by the ship's sounds.
Great horror/Sci-Fi movie and definitely, as I said before one of the best in the genre.
