"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."
"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."

"I really wish I liked this especially because I find the alien itself so cool. It could be my fault though because my uncle just put it on. And I can’t remember how focused I was on it. For me though I can’t watch a movie on the tv unless it’s fully dark volume blasting. But I mainly didn’t like it because the alien didn’t show up a lot. Which is weird because I loved the first friday the 13th. The main actress was great and I liked the crew itself and that aspect.
I don’t know don’t think it’s bad but I think I just I like different horror."
