See the sequel

Rating: 5/10 (17 November 1999)

This is one of those rare cases where the sequel (ONLY the first, mind you) is better than the original. Alien is, to me, dull, dark, shock-horror, trying to scare you with sudden noises and camera turns. I sat there waiting for something to happen for most of the film, mostly bored to tears. To me, the only purpose for Alien is as a set up for the far superior Aliens.
