The terror begins when the crew of a spaceship investigates a transmission from a desolate planet, and discovers a life form that is perfectly evolved to annihilate mankind. One by one, each crew member is slain until only Ripley is left, leading to an explosive conclusion that sets the stage for its stunning sequel, "Aliens."

Reviews

Sunshine State Cineplex

Fresh

Combined with the brilliant visual aesthetic, impeccable production design, and great performances from top-to-bottom, Alien has few equals in cinematic history.

Germain Lussier

Fresh

Like so many great sci-fi films of the era, it leaves those to the imagination in favor of character and story.

Fresh

Human beings mostly die in the order of how much they acquiesced to the company without complaint, and even the robot and alien are not immune. Only the rebel, Ripley, and Jonesy, a cat who is the embodiment of a being who is never subservient, survive.

A masterpiece of sci-fi horror.

A towering technical achievement; an all-time Final Girl; creature design for the gods. Alien is the complete package. 5/5 - no notes.
