Average Rating: Rating: - Re-invented the sci-fi/horror genre, setting a new standard. Ailen works on so many levels it's hard to decide where to begin. While in essence it is no more than a B-rate monster movie, the direction, cinematography, special effects, attention to detail, ingenious characterisations, and incredibly creepy bio-mechanical designs of H.R. Giger elevate the film to the level of a new-perfect study of fear. Scott makes excellent use of the claustrophobic sets and allows the visuals to carry the story, and on more than one level. Every detail, every character and even the behaviour of said characters represents something that we can very much identify in the present, ultimately leading the viewer to identify with the rag-tag team of the Nostromo, and as a result getting the daylights scared out of them just as the crew is decimated by the alien. Scott himself stated that the film is meant to do nothing more than to scare people. Well, it has accomplished that, and a whole lot more. A true new classic. Rating: - THE Best in Sci-fi Horror! Ridley Scott is a master of grand visions and artistic splendor in cinema. It still amazes me to this day that this movie was made 20 years ago! It looks gorgeous! The DVD is by far one of the most impressive I've seen with tons of extras and bonus materials. The many pages of production art, photos, and info was highly impressive and a real treat for the hardcore fans. This is what a DVD should be! Alien is wonderful and is a benchmark of sci-fi film making. The attention to detail is incredible and I think really separates it from the other films in the Alien series. The original Alien is by far the best film in the series, no matter what Amazon reviewers say. Although Aliens was good, it wasn't a definitive horror movie... it was a testosterone injected James Cameron action film that lacked the vision and style of the original. Alien is smarter and filled with terror, suspense, and blood chilling scenes that can still rival anything done today. Watch this one in the dark. Rating: - Set the standard for years to come Nearly 25 years and people still talk about it. Ridley Scott's all time space odyssey classic, the original Alien. We all know the storyline by now, so I'll get right to the point: all these years later the film still holds up, and it can still terrify the daylights out of anyone. Scott used the claustrophobic set pieces to create an eerie doom-like atmosphere along with an overwhelming sense of dread (much like Tope Hooper used in Texas Chainsaw Massacre). Considering when this movie was made, the Alien is fantasticly designed, and the special effects were great as well. What made the Alien seem so terrifying is that it looks so real, not like in the movies of today which are bloated with over the top CGI effects, the Alien looks real because it is real, and that is what real horror is all about. Sigourney Weaver's career was catapaulted after Alien was released, and the well rounded cast, including Tom Skerrit, Ian Holm, the late Yapphet Kotto, and John Hurt as the unlucky birth ground for the Alien all give terrific performances. The DVD extras are worth noting as well, the deleted scenes offer new insight to the film, and Ridley Scott's commentary is great as well. All in all, this is a landmark film of science fiction that no one should ever miss.
