The Alien series is a favorite of mine and I enjoyed the 1st 2 quite much. Ridley did a nice job with this one and the acting is above average, and Weaver is great. Even though I like the 2nd just a tiny bit more u just can't compare cause they are great in their own sense. The movie is a great way to present the new creature where the evil "company" and the human factor starts it all by ordering an innocent cargo ship go down on an unknown planet to check something out.
From there there story unravels and one by one the creature takes the crew out until the heroine Lt. Ripley takes care of business.
1st time i saw it i was only 7 and i was scared a **** and I still find it very entertaining still today and it was made so a sequel could be made pretty easily too(and what a sequel it was) This movie gets a strong 8 out of 10. Maybe it should have gotten a 9 :)
