Alien, I can say, was a very interesting movie. The kind of movie that needs a certain taste to appreciate.

Alien was a movie that was meant to change the world's view of sci-fi movies forever. It did. Sci-fi films used to be all about aliens coming to us. Now we come to them. Alien not only is a sci-fi movie but also has a horror touch to it. The crew is a great cast and the Alien was well done, especially for the time.

The Alien didn't come and we just keep trying to shoot it up, but when you try to shoot it up it'll bleed through the hull killing everyone. The beginning was somewhat slow and the ending was slightly lacking. The suspense is nice but the camera was kinda annoying at times.

The movie really finds its merit in the first original sci-fi movie of all time. The movie is interesting and kind of creepy. The Alien is a "perfect life-form" and is a very scary adversary.

Alien was interesting, cool, and original. Besides lacking a few areas such as camera and the stupidity of some of the crew members, Alien is a must see movie that defined the genre as we know it forever.
