Alien-Stephen Collins

Ridley Scott has an interesting career. He has movies people love and movies most people did not recently. But would Alien be his crowning achievement. If even this or Blade Runner?


I don't know if Alien is his crowning achievement, but it's really good.  The crew has a interesting personality that makes them stand out. It one of Sigourney Weaver best performances as well as Harry Dean Stanton.


For the time it came out, Alien has really great effects. The aliens have extraordinary designs that are really creepy and are very timeless. The movie has a eerie design and is essentially a horror film, but in an action/sci-fi film.


One of the things the intrigue me about the film is that none of the characters are perfect. They all just when all this space trip and just want to go home, when some wired beings show up, stowaway on the ship and are trying to kill them. The alien origins is not reveal,.but we have sequels for that.


While both Blade Runner and Alien could be contender for Ridley Scott's best film, I think both are really great film to watch. Both have great action, dialogue and are both films that make you think. Alien has more of an eerie atmosphere and is more fun to watch. Alien is giddy, good and lots of fun and one of the most influence sci-fi film.
