Really awesome: it creates a thick atmosphere that can break in any moment, what creates a level of suspense hard to reach in films. Some may say it gets too slow by the end, I think that the real-time factor by the end only fuels the environment, and makes it one of the best horror-thrillers (and sci-fi) films around. The creatures design by H. R. Giger are genius.

More proof that Scott has done sci-fi better than anything else in his career. This movie is lesson in how to build suspense and tension, and how to portray an enemy on camera as truly shocking and frightening. You only see a little bit of Alien in this film, but thats all your need. Scott creates a monster without hardly showing you its teeth. His use of light and sound in the film is also totally brilliant. Sigourney Weaver is excellent and Ian Holm is almost as scary as Alien. Awesome.

Alien is a great example of how a horror film should be, especially when you combine it with science fiction. It's one of the most memorable movies ever created.

I love the way the camera is used to heighten the tension, drifting slowly around, but other than that the supense is underwhelming. The Alien was certainly gross, but his mouth looked like a PEZ dispenser. Also, the cat was the smartest character in the movie, which made everything rather dull. Even the spooky atmosphere didn't do much for me. I mean, it was good, but "The Thing" was much better. P.S: I think it's about time for Ripley to invest in some adult underwear; and maybe a butt too.

Alien is a B-movie story, wrapped in an A-movie environment. The cinematography, especially the lighting, in this movie is absolutely gorgeous and truly inspiring. The performances of the actors are quite good, playing very naturalistic and thus adding a lot to the belieavability of the story. Another backbone of this movie is the phenomenal, kick-ass music score by Jerry Goldsmith. It's lyrical, but at the same time fightening and hauting. To sum it up, Alien is very beautiful popcorn cinema.
