Haven't seen this in 25+ years...

Rating: 5/10 (7 December 2019)

Wow, It's been a longtime since I've seen this. Probably viewed it on VHS even. The Alien itself is a combination of practical effects and looks like a first draft render of CGI. Very clunky in execution both in story and effects. Admittedly I rewatched the theatrical release. Re-viewing in HD didn't help the cause either. Wonder whether 2003 rework has any bearing on this?
