Watch Alien For Free

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The look of the Nostromo in this film is mainly like a huge refinery, or oil platform in space, with dirt, steam and pipework everywhere.. The only exception is the crew areas, which has some softening comforts. So this is space as an industrial project. The alien horror is iconic, and the film captures well the claustrophobia and fear of the untrained crew as they battle a hunter which out classes them in all but technology. A Classic.

"Alien" is a classic movie with a great story/script, wonderful acting, really good setting, and a well developed first installment of the series. Nuff' said.

A masterpiece of cinema that never fades with dozens of repeat viewings. I watch this film when it was first released in theatrically and then at least every few years since as it is a master class in horror film making, do the math and you will realise that I've watched around ten times (at very very least), still takes me on a terrifying ride each time I watch it, the very best characters grab and revel in their chance to perform to fault superbly, knowing that they had been given the chance to make career establishing performances. The music, the sets (oh my goodness the art direction was incredible) the script, the direction, all were executed perfectly. That's it, it is simply the perfect horror film.

This movie is truly awesome. One of the best films ever made and would make my top ten list for both best Sci-Fi and best Horror movies ever. Amazing direction and Sigourney Weaver's best performance and best movie ever. The sequels are also good and worth watching (the crossovers with Predator aren't quite so good) but this is the real jewel of the franchise.
