Alien [DVD] [1979]

👍

Having been obsessed with Aliens for my entire life I'd neglected the first film for far too long. One sick day off work and I thought I'd give it a spin. Immediately I was completely absorbed by the incredible set design, tense atmosphere, likable and believable cast of scruffy, rag-tag, regular Joe characters and the ever looming threat from the titular creature. Sure, there were a few, slightly dated monster design moments but once the credits rolled I was determined to place the original Ridley Scott film on an absolute equal footing with James Cameron's roller coaster sequel. Genuine classic and a landmark cinema moment.

One particular scene in the Director's cut adds to the bleak inevitability of the fate of the crew. Well worth seeing alongside the original Cinema release.

I do love all the Alien films. Wish they could make some more on the books. Seeing is beelieving.

Ok this`ll upset a few but i prefer the original over the directors cut as you see too much of the alien in this one and in places you can kinda make out where it looks as though its a guy in a alien suit but in the original more is left to your imagination creating in my opinion a more terrifying experience, but the picture quality is awesome and i cant believe its as old as it is.

A great film to watch, just amazing
