Alien Short Review

Alien is one of those old movies that are still very watchable. Even very scary at times.

I just started a runthrough of the 4 Alien movies. This first ones definately is a good start.

The Story
I was very open to this movie since it is the no. 53 best movie of all time at imdb so the fact that it was made in 1979 was no issue. The movie is about a crew aboard a mining freighter out somewhere in space. In the middle of nowhere the crew is woken up from their "hibernation module" by the ship's computer named Mother. Mother has picked up a distress signal from a nearby planet and the crew is required by law to investigate.

Personal feelings
The alien(s) in the movie is exceptionally well made for being so old and so are many other features. Thus making space seem somewhat realistic although the computers are a bit outdated (funny) for being from somewhere in the mid 21st century.

Conclusion
The ending leaves you wondering what will happen in the next movies. Especially since i have heard Aliens the second movie is even better.
