great film even in the current era

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2013)

alien is a 1979 film based around the seven crew members of the Nostromo cargo ship. After finding the minerals they were sent out to find the crew goes into a cryo sleep to wake when they arrive back on earth but are waken prematurely after receiving a distress call. they follow the signal and discover a strange creature that could bring the end to them all. The movie has a very amusive and compelling storyline griping you from beginning to end. Not only is it well written but the director Ridley Scott manages to capture the lonely emptiness of space perfectly. Every scene is wonderfully lite and props are perfect, not to mention the swooping camera angles that add to the shaky uneasy horror segments. Along side all these elements you have one of the most iconic and all around greatest horror creature, the xenomorph, perfectly designed to be a killing machine with more weapons in its arsenal than you can shake a stick at. All around alien is a movie that will continue to be great, not many films can still seem relatively believable all these years later. i give alien a 9 out of 10 its a must see for all true movie buffs.
