alien

Rating: 5/10 (22 November 2009)

well it's taken me the better part of 30 years to see this and now i finally have. Sigourney Weaver stars with Tom Skerrit,, along with Harry Dean Stanton, and John Hurt. Their mission is to stop and investigate a signal coming from outer space, they are not sure if it is a distress signal or something more. so they need to investigate, upon investigating one of the crew members slips and falls, and the alien gets the better of him,, attaching itself to him,, the major and fatal flaw is that one of the crew decides to open the hatch and let him in,, instead of keeping the hatch closed, and prevent the alien from coming aboard and contaminating the whole entire ship.. i thought that parts of the movie were pretty good,, but to me it seems like things didn't gel,, scene to scene, there was a lot left uneplained which in my opinion made the movie very very hard to follow.
