    Zusammenfassung

    Reviewers say 'Alien' is celebrated for its groundbreaking effects, iconic creature design, and atmospheric tension. The film's suspense, realistic interactions, and minimalist horror approach are frequently praised. Sigourney Weaver's performance as Ripley and the film's genre influence are often commended. The production design, eerie soundtrack, and practical effects are noted for their impact. Despite some pacing and character development criticisms, 'Alien' is regarded as a seminal sci-fi work.

    Still holds up better than most horror movies of today's age

    I just came around to watch the original Alien on Netflix and I have to say that I was positively surprised that a horror movie from the '70s is this suspenseful and effective.

    The characters actually behave like thinking human beings. The soundtrack is great and the direction is superb. Especially when comparing this movie to the modern movies with similar stories that borrowed many of the things that are working well here.

    A classic every horror and overall movie fan should watch.

    Structural perfection matched only by its hostility

    Director Ridley Scott's well-honed talents of pacing and editing create a tense atmosphere that superbly conveys dread and fear of an unknown, unseen evil entity. In 1979, the technology didn't exist to generate a computer image of a Being from another world, and thank God, because this film would have sucked just like all these post-Alien creature features do. Everyone who loves this movie knows what I'm talking about. Ridley Scott had to be extremely careful not to show a full shot of the Alien, except in very brief scenes, and not to reveal exactly how it moves, because then we would see that it is just some tall, skinny guy in a rubber suit. Nowadays, some computer guy would whip up a really scary-looking, but nevertheless FAKE-looking (yes, computer guys, we can tell) Alien, and the director would not have to even think about trying to breathe life into H.R. Giger's hallucinations to make a successful picture.

    The dark, cold beauty of this film will never be equaled.

    Probably my favorite movie ever.

    A lot of people describe the suspense and terror that this movie demonstrates as its best characteristic, which is certainly valid. It is intense, and can be held up as one of the greatest horror movies of all time, easily. I would argue, beyond that, that it's one of the greatest movies of all time in general. It's basically perfect sci-fi; with absolutely gorgeous sci-fi design and brilliant execution, with beautiful sets and effects that hold up today. It has great dramatic moments and even some twists. None of the sequels, to me, hold a candle to this.

    It feels a bit like Blade Runner, with its borderline avant-garde use of quiet moments. However, unlike Blade Runner (which is just as strong a film) this movie uses its nebulous setting and ominous set design, music, lighting, and sound design to instill a deep, troubling fear in the audience.

    The facehugger scared me as a kid and i still find em creepy.

    Everything has already been said about this great film n there seems to be little left to say but lemme contribute a lil more by praising how good this film is.

    I first saw this in the late 80s on a vhs n as a kid i found it to be a bit slow but was shaken by the chestburster scene.

    The facehugger terrified me as a kid.

    Revisited all the four parts in the early 2k on dvds which i own.

    Revisited this part again few days back as i am on Alien movie marathon n very impatient to check out Prometheus n Covenant.

    I feel that this part is inspired by Bava's Planet of the Vampires.

    The ruins with the skeletal remains, the design and shots of the ship itself does have the deja vu effect.

    This one is atmospheric n dark, gory at times, it has enuff stuff for sci fi fans, it also has slasher n war like tone.

    But the best thing is the feminist tone where in this part the women are not being cast as the helpless victims.

    Holds up as a classic.

    Alien remains one of the most original, terrifying movies of all time. Compare this with the lame sci fi horrors we get nowadays, 1979, and it still packs a huge punch.

    Fantastically atmospheric, chilling and terrifying even now, the story holds up incredibly well. The special effects were incredible for the time, no wonder the franchise is still in demand, though sadly nowhere near the quality of this one or its amazing successor.

    The music is fantastic, the direction is incredible, and as for the Alien itself, way ahead of its time. Weaver is phenomenal, but arguably she's upstaged by the creature.

    You can't help but remember scenes days after watching it, it definitely has the chill factor.

    A cinematic masterpiece. 10/10

      According to Yaphet Kotto, Sir Ridley Scott told him to annoy Sigourney Weaver off-camera, so that there would be genuine tension between their characters. Kotto regretted this, because he really liked Weaver.

      Ripley: Ash, can you hear me?

      [slams her hands down on the table]

      Ripley: Ash?

      Ash: [awakens and starts speaking in an electronic and distorted voice] Yes, I can hear you.

      Ripley: What was your special order?

      Ash: You read it. I thought it was clear.

      Ripley: What was it?

      Ash: Bring back life form. Priority One. All other priorities rescinded.

      Parker: The damn company. What about our lives, you son of a bitch?

      Ash: I repeat, all other priorities are rescinded.

      Ripley: How do we kill it, Ash? There's gotta be a way of killing it. How? How do we do it?

      Ash: You can't.

      Parker: That's bullshit.

      Ash: You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? The perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.

      Lambert: You admire it.

      Ash: I admire its purity. A survivor... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.

      Parker: Look, I am... I've heard enough of this, and I'm asking you to pull the plug.

      [Ripley goes to disconnect Ash, who interrupts]

      Ash: Last word.

      Ripley: What?

      Ash: I can't lie to you about your chances, but... you have my sympathies.

    • Crazy Credits
      The title of the movie is slowly created one line at a time at the top of the screen during the opening credits, starting out with the I, then the slash in A and the backslash in N, and then the vertical lines in L and E (so it looks like / I I I \). After that, the ensuing lines of each letter are added slowly one at a time until the title is fully visible.
