ridley scott delievers a masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (29 November 2001)

One of the best sci-fi films ever made - probably THE best sci-fi flick ever.
Ridley Scott delievers an absolute masterpiece. Alien is one of his best films to date, only his direction in Gladiator comes a close second. Scott keeps the viewer gripped with his intense camera angles, the amazing sets complete with spectacular scenery and a good cast.
Probably one of the best reasons to see this film is if you really want to get scared, squirm, or revel in the adrealine rush - this film has it all.
Probably the best bit is the way the alien creature bursts out of John Hurt's t-shirt at the dinner scene. I wasn't expecting it to happen and it was so vivid and well acted by Mr Hurt, the special effects are just fabulous.
This film made Sigorney Weaver one of the few actresses that I really respect and appreciate.
