Not as cool as the second in my opinion but chilling and eerie. So well made, the look is so realistic you can almost smell the sweat and fear. Awesome effects, just the ultimate space monster film. Perfect cast, I just prefer the second because of the action, but this is still a...( read more)

Alien is my favourite sci-fi/horror movie. Like the Terminator, I enjoyed this better than the sequel mainly because it was less than a huge blockbuster, it was a quiet intense horror with disgusting special effects and caustrophobic surroundings. The idea of a man being literall...( read more)

Still ranked as one of the greatest sci-fi horrors ever captured on celluloid. The list of reasons for this is exhaustive: the iconic,eponymous alien; the stunning set design; the theme of gender reversal; the rich characterisation and superb acting; the twists; and so on (as I s...( read more)

Ridley Scott's 1979 movie is a great original. full review
What's most unusual about the original 24 years later, though, is its elegant minimalism. full review

September 7, 2007If you must take an Alien quiz and are a fan. Steer clear of Rabidwombat22's. For the most part it's correct but on three questions, he is absolutely wrong. He won't even own up to facts provided by Wikipedia. He's not a fan in my book.
You will not get 100% even cheating. The only way you will is if you GUESS right or ask him first. In his mind, he is correct. I was NEVER mad that I didn't receive a good score as I had aready stated that I never expected to. I just wanted to point out to him, his errors.
I'm not the only one to point this out to him.
Shameful! -
