Very Cool!!!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Alien is a sci-fi horror classic that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The suspense and the fear are there and that iconic chestburster scene is so scary and iconic. The final fight at the end of the movie is very suspenseful and keeps you guessing. Ridley Scott is one of the best directors of our time.

Alien is a great film though I personally feel that James Cameron's Aliens is a much better film. It starts with seven crew members aboard a towing hauler, who are suddenly awakened from their deep slumber in cryo because of a distress signal they've received. They land on a distant planet only to find a massive derelict ship which has probably crash landed. There they find an alien organism- one which has acid for blood and grows at a menacing pace. This film reeks of atmosphere and to this day many films and video games have been directly inspired by its production design and vibe. Alien also holds the distinction of having, what many people consider the greatest tagline and trailer.

I'm not the biggest fan of horror, though I did watch a few slasher movies, including Wes Craven's Scream 1 and Child's Play (with Brad Dourif), but considering I love sci-fi, this is my favorite of the horror sci-fi flicks. I still have the VHS tape of this one and I watched it again on blu-ray and enjoyed it. It does have a lot of creepy moments, and that dinner scene was spoofed in so many other films, TV shows, books, and such, but it made its point. This movie was the catalyst for the Alien saga and this, along with its sophomore outing, are the only Alien films I'll watch. And I'll pretend that the Alien Versus Predator films never existed. I especially loved the sets and the creature itself, courtesy of the late HR Giger. This actually worked for me.

With films coming at an AK 47 rate, seldom will an audience encounter anything like Alien ( all sequels are still as terrifying ) with all the gut-ripping, face-locking, seemingly more intelligent than humans creatures in a spaceship destined for doom. However , it is also interesting to note that Sigourney Weaver immortalized the character, Dr Ellen Ripley. When something is new, be it anything , a toy, a car, books , films - our curious nature is always triggered , with Alien our imagination and fear of what's out there has been called to the surface. A lot of cast members here went on to establish film careers as a result. If you're not a scaredy cat, this film must be in your library.
