Back in it's day, this movie was a trill!

Rating: 8/10 (20 October 2003)

First, Let me start out by saying that "ALIEN" has a special place in my heart...1979 was a fun time for me and this movie was part of that fun! I will not go into detail about this movie, but I well say that for someone who has not seen this movie and who is under the age of say 25 - 30; might find this movie a bit dated! Back in 1979, this was the cutting edge of movie effects and movie technology. You had a good cast of players, and a great director (Ridley Scott) at the helm. Anyway, I found this movie not so scary of a film as much as I found it a trilling and fun film! I suggest that if you are interested in viewing this movie for the first time, or again for the first time, to wait for it's re-release at the theater this coming winter. I find movies of this sort (space type films) are always better on the big screen. I would also like to suggest the movie sequel `Aliens'; directed by James Cameron, who also wrote the story.
