Saw it when it cam out in '79, in a theater in the middle of the day. air was on and it was chilly. then EVERYTHING takes place in the black cold void of space. Yeah, it WAS creepy, actually. Tagline: "In space, no one can hear you scream"

This movie demonstrates how important the set is to the film. I'm a big scifi fan, but never have I seen such attention to detail as in Alien. Perhaps it's because Ridley started his career as a set decorator that makes all of his films so special. I actually worked for one week on Bladerunner, on I noticed that even the tiniest details were made to look like the "real thing," things you would never even see on camera. For example, I noticed that on the parking meters on the streets scenes, it read: "15-minute parking, $50." a price that would be ludicrous when the movie was made, but in the future was probably spot-on. That's why his films will always be a joy to watch forever. They are complete works of art.

4:24 5:50 6:00 The whole LV426 landscape and the interior of the Derelict with the Space Jockey is just pure art. All real sets. Truly otherworldly. A lot of them aren’t even in the final film, which is a shame, they look absolutely gorgeous.

Alien is a perfect masterpiece. I've watched this movie countless times, and always with the same pleasure than the first time I saw it when I was still a child. Many years later, I was lucky enough to meet the late Giger during a book signing session in Paris. I asked him to dedicate me his last book with a personal line: "To Chris, the 9th passenger of the Nostromo". This was a reference to the french title of Alien which is "Alien, the 8th passenger". At first, Giger was a bit surprised by my strange request, but then he smiled when he understood its reason. He then signed my copy of his book with the sentence I asked for and he gave me the signed book with a approbation nod. Thank you Ridley Scott and Hans Ruedi Giger, I've never found the Nostromo's exit despite all these years thanks to your awesome work. 😍

Thanks for this ! Along with its terrific technical achievements, Alien features excellent acting from its entire cast. It was, in particular, a career - boosting film for both of its actresses. Alien put Sigourney Weaver firmly on the map and she soon went on to be one of the best actresses of her time. Alien also revived Veronica Cartwright's career as an adult. She had been one of the busiest and best child actresses of the 60s in both films and television but her career hit a lag in the early seventies when she was too old for youth roles but not old enough for adult parts (or so the industry bigwigs thought). Cartwright's uncanny ability to effectively convey dread and fear in her performances is one of a kind.

What I think plays a big part in making a good movie is dialogue. And they don’t make dialogue like they used to, in this movie these are like real people talking, sometimes over each other and that’s just something we don’t even see anymore and I find that very unfortunate.
