One of the Best Sci-Fi Films of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2002)

One of the best sci-fi films of all time. James Cameron proves once again why he is one of the most formidable directors working today. He takes what could have been just another cheesy rip-off of the classic 1979 thriller Alien and gives us an entirely new world and new experience around every corner. This is powered by an absolutely brilliant performance by Sigourney Weaver who received a well-deserved Oscar nomination for Best Actress. The sets are marvelous, the story compelling and the suspense almost unbearable at times. This is what movie making should be. Great film all around.
