Way, way ahead of its times! I am awestruck!

Rating: 10/10 (16 August 2015)

'Titanic' 1997 is my most favourite Hollywood film, add to that 'Avatar' 2009 and ' Terminator 2: Judgment Day' 1991, it is an easy guess to make what I think of film- maker James Cameron. However, I am someone who is a bit reluctant to watch old films, however critically acclaimed they may be, just because I feel that sometimes a film may be great for the era it is made and we, the people from our generation for example, may find flaws after flaws. Although some of my all-time favourite films are from years ago but still, very few.
Despite this, I decided to give 'Alien' 1979 a go and it was good. I gave it eight out of 10 and admired it for the era it was made in, but this one transcends everything. This is a great film for any age and I am still not able to fully recover from it, merely thinking that this is 29 years old film. It is a tremendous and mind-blowing film! I would give it 20 out of 10.
Full of brilliant action, great from the technological aspect as well (particularly that device telling them how far away an alien is) and the last 30 minutes or so are gripping, thrilling in the best form and move from scene to scene with great pace.
The best scene from the film for me has to be that suicide hand grenade attack on that alien. Hair raising stuff and an out of the world scene!
Here's a salute to James Cameron! Here I am waiting for my brother to come home just to be able to tell him how far ahead of his times this great man runs.
