Alien after 20 years. Still in the best Sci-fi movies.

Rating: 8/10 (20 April 1999)

Alien is one classics Sci-fi movies. Magistrally directed by Mr. Scott and well performed by the actors. The movie represents the darkness and the paranoia in a claustrophobic space ship; giving the idea that once in the ship the alien entity, is no way to scape. Rydley Scott takes the darkest images of H. R. Geiger, and transforms that images to horrorific "tour de force" with paranoic suspense.
The theme and story is well related, and the content is simple but excellent. The special effects (visual & audio) are not part of the movie (unlike Star Wars, where the effects is all and the only). Let me explain: Lastly, with powerful supercomputers and super Hi-Tech devices like Animatronics(tm) the special effects has a boom; and the new movies (Godzilla, Species, ID4...) only have a huge amount of Fx but nothing or almost nothing of contents.
Alien, Bladerunner, 2001: a space odyssey, 12 Monkeys and other movies has the authentic "scence" of science fiction.
