Alien(1979)- User Reviews

Alien. is it the overestimated film ever made?

Alien was boring and predictable. Ridley Scott's so-called masterpiece was a tiresome journey into the predictable. I guess the becnhmark for all sci-fi moviemaking, is set low enough for the ants to crawl on it. Maybe they will grow into supersized ants and they will fight the aliens until they both die. Now that would be a better movie than this one.

The story is simple a bunch of unlucky space researchers, go to space but there is something wrong. Wow! what a *****ing suprise. That is totally unpredictable.

The aliens looked like something that will look nice amongst your household appliances. They were so friggin fake, i know the film is considered old since it's been past a decade, however, there must still be respect for proper technology. The alien looked like a fancy dishwasher or washing machine slapped with slime, stupid bloody robots.

The atmosphere is dark and depressing, with an alien running around in the vents. No one brang any mortein to kill the pests, it just shows how stupid the actors are. Maybe Sugnourey Weaver can take off her mask and really scare the pants off the audience.

There were no real thrills within the film, just the occasional jolt that you can encounter from watching a bloody Adam Sandler comedy. I have respect for the film on the basis of its status, but how it gets there is a mystery for this reviewer. Sci-Fi when will you ever offer me something worth sitting through?
