Alien Ratings & Reviews
- Desmond DaleJanuary 24, 2025Just the perfect horror and possibly my favorite Sci-Fi film ever. The pacing is masterful. Ridley stretches out each kill to its furthest point of tension. The biomechanical designs by Geiger are impossibly detailed and intricate. And it's just a film that has a slightly slow start but never steps crescendoing until it's very last minute.
- Movie_Maverick7d agoA genuine sci-fi masterpiece, and (at the time I’m writing this) my favourite film of all time
- The Gutter MonkeyFebruary 23, 2025We get Sigourney Weaver running around with a flameflower in the world's tiniest pair of panties. Need I say more?
- MazzMay 26, 2025One of the perfect movies of all time
- Spencer MBJuly 23, 2025I (somehow) have only seen the "Director's Cut" until last night. Yes really. Until fairly recently, I had no clue that every time I watched this movie, that I was watching the DC version. I couldn't figure out why I didn't enjoy the movie as much as everyone said I would/should until I watched a breakdown video of every change made in the DC. In Scott's attempt to speed up the film's pacing, it feels even slower than the original cut. I was blown away by how different each version felt because the OG's pacing was incredible, I never felt it was "slow" paced while we watched it. 2.5/5 for the "Director's Cut"
- Richard ThorntonJuly 22, 2025Like 2001, it’s a scifi film that doesn’t age. Still scary, still gorgeous to look at.
- HumptyFebruary 20, 2025DON'T LAY YOUR BABIES IN ME!
- Eric BakkeNovember 5, 2024It’s a relentless, claustrophobic horror that mixes science fiction with pure terror. Once it gets cooking, almost every frame is soaked in tension.
- Kevin WardJuly 1, 2025Director’s Cut Watched this with my two oldest kids because they both were interested in seeing Romulus. So good. Absolutely stellar production design that still holds up today. Chest burster scene is a scene forever etched in my memory, but when Ash goes berserk it’s a pretty incredible moment both in terms of the narrative twist and the incredible effects to pull it off. Really looking forward to Romulus.
- Kɱҽƚȥ TԋҽαƚҽɾMay 21, 2025An actual scary Sci-fi movie with a great story.
- Rick FoxJuly 18, 2025Greatest horror/sci-fi movie ever made.
- NonPlayableContentMay 11, 2025Suspense, horror, body horror, good writing and acting, underwear that clearly don't fit. It has it all.
- Dave BarnesMarch 12, 2025The original and the best of the Alien films.
- GaryMay 22, 2025Probably the best Alien horror movie out there, though i do prefer the directors cut to this release.
- RyezooFebruary 15, 2025The scene after she starts the ship self destruct is some of the best minutes of cinema ever!
