The best of the lot

Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2000)

I'm going against the tide when saying this is the best of the Alien movies. But think again. The clautrophobic sensation is extremely present, the dirt and the grime almost in your face and the alien itself is omnipresent since the prisoners, effectively, can't leave. They have to fight it. And the only weapons they have at their disposal are their brains and fire. Chilling and esthetically perfect, this IS the best of the lot. And please do not mention the 4th in the series. It's an abomination.
