"I know Im supposed to love this movie. I'm a huge scifi fan, even a huge Ridley Scott fan, but i find a lot of this movie laughably bad. The bar scene is top notch however! Aliens is the better movie between the two. "

"Manages to feel as vast as an empty desert and as oppressive as a haunted house—it’s legitimately frightening with groundbreaking production design, an impeccable cast, stunning visuals, and one hell of a mood.
I don't know what else to say that hasn’t already been said other than it’s supreme in every way… monolithic—a perfect organism."

"Other than the CRT monitors, the movie has aged remarkably well to have been released in the late 70s! Still a favorite. "

"Horror in space where no one can hear you scream I think was the original advertisement for the movie. Ridley Scott’s masterpiece. We were introduced to Ellen ripley one strong female heroine."

"A true classic. "
Sarah Joubert
"My favorite movie and the best part about it was that the hero of this movie is a woman. Sigourney Weaver is the best in sci-fi movies."
Norma Blanco
