   Was the 1979 Alien a good movie?

   • "The 1979 Alien is a much more cerebral movie than its sequels, with the characters (and the audience) genuinely engaged in curiosity about this weirdest of lifeforms...Unfortunately, the films it influenced studied its thrills but not its thinking." —Film critic Roger Ebert on Alien 's cinematic impact.

   Is alien a scary movie?

   • Ridley Scott's new film Alien, destined to become the scary smash of summer, returns us to our senses. Our bad dreams [about extraterrestrials] were right. Alien, like the Exorcist, works on your nerves and emotions with the practiced hand of a torturer extracting a confession. The movie is terrifying, but not in a way that is remotely enjoyable.

   Is alien technology a good movie?

   • Anyway, the alien technology succeeds on a level never before achieved in terms of showing a realistic alien culture. We can almost imagine these creatures living on this ship, it seems to fit in with the alien biology so well. When they arrive back on their own ship, the film unfortunately descends into a fairly typical horror action film.

   Oct 26, 2003 · Powered by JustWatch. At its most fundamental level, "Alien" is a movie about things that can jump out of the dark and kill you. It shares a kinship with the shark in " Jaws ," Michael Myers in " Halloween ," and assorted spiders, snakes, tarantulas and stalkers.

   Sleepin_Dragon 16 January 2020. Alien remains one of the most original, terrifying movies of all time. Compare this with the lame sci fi horrors we get nowadays, 1979, and it still packs a huge punch. Fantastically atmospheric, chilling and terrifying even now, the story holds up incredibly well.
