Ridley Scott directs an amazing cast that inlcudes Sigourney Weaver, John Hurt and Tom Skerritt... When the crew of the spaceship "Nostromo" picks up a distress call from a distant moon, the crew is under obligation to investigate...
As the crew discovers a hive colony of some unknown creature, the ship's computer deciphers the message to be a warning, not a distress call. When one of the eggs is disturbed, the crew soon realise they are in grave danger.
With the invaluable input from Swiss artist H.R. Giger, who's Necronom IV work inspired the design of the "Xenomorph", Alien (1979) spawned several sequels and continues to inspire sci-fi pop culture to this day.

One of my all time favourite movies. Gets better with every watch and by far the best of the series. Ridley Scott has probably made two of the greatest sci fi movies ever, this and Blade Runner.

A truly great film. The directing, acting and set design are flawless but another strength is its characters. The way the crew are dressed and how they talk and react to their situation feels very realistic and, to me, is a big part of why the film never feels dated.

[@ReelClassicFilmReviews]

100% agree! There's a very naturalistic way the characters interact that makes it more believable when a 7ft alien starts picking them off. Thank so much for watching, take care.

Great movie .

[@gibtaffy]

Such a creepy film, still gives me the jitters. Class review!

[@curiousworld7912]

Well-done. I really enjoy your 'look-back' reviews and analysis of older films. You truly do have a good way of pointing out the context of a film's impact and influence, and both the technical and artistic merits of the film. I look forward to each video you release. Thanks!

[@ReelClassicFilmReviews]

Thank you so much, that's very kind of you to say and very much appreciated! I do try to cover a variety of years and genres in the hope that there will be something for everyone who stumble across my channel. There are many more videos in the pipeline... thanks again, have a great week! 📽👏

Imo, the second film of the franchise, _Aliens_ is a a masterpiece of sci-fi action. But honestly, once I found out they killed off Newt (off screen) in the third film, I felt too disappointed in the series and never watched any of the other sequels. It took the happy ending of the second film and destroyed it. Silly, I know, but I think it shows Cameron’s ability to present characters in films we find ourselves caring about.

Neigh on perfect movie imo 👍🏻📺🎥

[@colinthedogfromspaced9365]

Lol that bloody strobe ! My one and only gripe about this masterpiece.

[@ReelClassicFilmReviews]

Haha, I found myself having to look away a couple of times, it's quite intense! But yes, otherwise it's one of the greats! 👏📽

Hi Steven, No doubt Ridley Scott’s “Alien’ is a movie classic, & one of the sci-fi horror movies that set the bar for many other movies that followed. Like many i class “Alien” more of a sci-fi horror & “Aliens” sci-fi action, & I slightly prefer “Aliens” but “Aliens 3” was okay but felt disappointed, maybe my expectations were set too high after the first two classics but the fourth movie I’ve actually not even bothered 😬 I do need to binge the whole franchise with the newer movies also at some point. Thanks for another top notch review buddy 😎👍

[@ReelClassicFilmReviews]

Hello buddy! I actually prefer Aliens, as I think I saw that first and I do love the scale and action in it. I can take or leave the 3rd, and everything after that is a bit poor in my opinion, despite there being some interesting ideas kicking about. Got another action classic review coming between now and Christmas... Have a great week buddy, take care 📽👏

1979 seems like yesterday when you watch alien. Ahead of its time but of its time. Actually that makes no sense 🤷🏻

[@ReelClassicFilmReviews]

Haha, I think I know what you mean. I do know that it hold up far better than most modern sci-fi horrors, which is testament to the talent involved. Thanks so much for watching, have a great week! 👏📽
