  The sign of a good sci fi film is how well it dates.<br>Alien and Bladerunner do not look old.<br>Logans Run while a great story looks like a 70&apos;s film

  For a film made in the 70&apos;s the design and effects piss all over 99% of what they make today.

  Those set pieces are still jaw-dropping. &nbsp;Incredible what they were able to achieve with a tiny budget.

  I have to agree with some of the other comments, from just a technical perspective, Alien is a perfect movie. Just enough character development to make you care. Each character is different and recognizable. Scenes move at a perfect pace. The sound is amazing. Totally mood setting, emotion filled sound track. The sets are so memorable. You can look at a still photo of any shot in the movie and know that it belongs to Alien. The monster is incredible. Perfectly designed and photographed. No CGI, just pure art and acting. Even today I look at the scenes where they reveal the xenomorph and I just keep saying to myself, that looks soooo cool! .... Alien is a perfect movie.

  R.I.P. to stars Harry Dean Stanton and John Hurt and it’s crazy to think this classic movie had only 7 cast members and could follow each character. One of my favorite movies

  H.R Giger is such a genius with his designs there&apos;s literally nothing else like them! What a fantastic find he was to join the movie.

  Alien is a flawless masterpiece. And Sigourney Weaver is easily the best female heroine in cinema history.
