You might find the sequel, Aliens, a little more to your tastes. It's more Sci-Fi/Action than it is Sci-Fi/Horror, although there are still some horror elements in the film. However the action parts really help to minimize their effect. The other sequels can be skipped entirely. Alien 3 tried to go back to basics and make it a Sci-Fi/Horror, but most of the characters were unlikeable and not worth rooting for, and the visual effects were trash. Then Alien Resurrection was so bad it became an unintentional comedy, with equally bas VFX. So definitely watch Aliens. I would recommend the Director's Cut with added scenes. It's about 20 minutes longer than the theatrical cut, but there's some important scenes in those 20 minutes.

For a conspiracy to work, the fewer the people that know the better. For Apollo, they've have to pay off and "take care of" thousands of people.

If there was any chance America was faking it, they would have blown the whistle immediately to make America look bad.

Aliens was just a scifi-actionmovie. It had tension, but it was already on the path of destroying the art ; the legend, which was created with Alien (1979). Aliens doesnt have the same ''strange'' atmosphere... it doesnt feel like ''i am at nowhere''... the distances in space wasnt as big in Aliens, as in Alien. And there wasnt that feeling of lonelyness,like in Alien... it just hasnt the same thing... James Cameron did Aliens, and he made a quiet typical scifi-action-movie, which set the road to the later Alien-movies (they all was much more into action, than into horror). Also Alien (1979) was the only movie where an artist (H. Giger) was involved significantly into the set, and the filming. Thats why Alien cant get old, while Alien 3 and 4 already feels ''old'' , and even Aliens feels like a 'typical 80s'-movie , while Alien 1979 doesnt feels like a ''typical 70s movie''.

Well done for getting through Alien, without too much trauma! You should definitely watch Aliens, it's the rare case of a sequel that fully lives up to the original. It's also less of a straight horror, and more action-oriented. Oh, yeah, Jones is absolutely the MVP in the film. He meets the big chap on 2 occasions and survives without a scratch, while the humans get horribly slaughtered....

[@Greybeardmedic]

The Moon landing was in 1969, the very end of the 60's. Most of the Apollo missions were in the 70's.. To this day one of the biggest issues in producing good science fiction is in the cost of special effects. It's for this reason that we tend to get more cop buddy movies than space adventure. Battlestar Galactica non TV was one of the few success stories.

[@snorpenbass4196]

Whether you were joking or not, a decent telescope can easily let you see all the junk left behind on the moon after the moonlandings - from lander pieces to big mirrors put there so people on Earth could measure the exact distances. There's even a car or two left behind.

[@yrenekurtz5268]

Nope, not possible with any current optical telescope, not even the Hubble (which doesn't suffer from the problem of atmospheric distortion) has enough resolution to detail stuff so tiny on the surface of the moon. In order to do that, the Hubble would need to have a lens 100 meters wide.

Also the laser ranging mirrors astronauts left on the moon are kind of a giveaway we did actually go to the moon.

Parker had one of the most badassed movie deaths. He took on the alien in hand to hand combat in an attempt to save Lambert. And, yes, you should definitely react to James Cameron's Aliens soon. It's more of an action film rather than horror and features Ripley again. Fun fact about Aliens: Cameron shot the opening scene in Ridley Scott's style as like a little tribute nod to the genius with the long tracking shots and long camera angles, but the rest of Aliens was shot in Cameron's own style.

[@derworfnet]

RIP John Hurt, Ian Holm, Harry Dean Stanton & Yaphet Kotto. Kotto passed away only a few days ago. And now you've also seen the Scene "Spaceballs" made fun of near the end. You know, the "Oh no! Not again!"-one. John Hurt even returned for a cameo for that. :D

Fun Fact: John Hurt (who plays Kane) was the only actor who knew ahead of time what would happen in the chest-burster scene. All the reactions of the other actors are completely genuine. Also, four identical cats played the role of Jones.

[@Imaculata]

But it is not true. People keep repeating this as a fact, but the cast knew exactly what was going to happen. It's one of those rumours that people keep repeating because it makes for a fun story. The truth is however, that it was in the script, everyone knew what was going to happen, and the scene took a long time to set up. The cast could see them preparing the scene, so it wasn't a surprise at all. The amount of blood however, may have been a surprise to both the cast, the director and the effects crew.

[@jaybird8192]

@@Imaculata Yes, you are correct. They all knew what was supposed to happen, But as far as they knew, that take was supposed to be a practice take. When the chest actually exploded, the cast (Other than John Hurt) were actually shocked in horror, that it was the actual take they used in the movie! Cameron wanted a real shocked reaction, so they told them this is a rehearsal. Setting up the chest-explosion at the time was a difficult chore, so he wanted one take, and he got it!

Old movies can be absolutely terrifying. In 1973, The Exorcist had people fainting in theatres and is still considered scary today. 1974, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Has some truly disturbing scenes that are still creepy and disturbing. 1976 Carrie. The scene where the mom comes down with the knife, chilling. 1978 Halloween. Michael Myers. 1980. Friday the 13th 1981 My bloody Valentine 1984 A nightmare on Elm street. And i've mentioned just one movie per year 1981 alone has at least 20 movies that are genuinely scary.

You could literally watch a different horror movie every day for one week and get 7 completely different experiences. I can't think of any other genre that you could say that for.
