In the distant future, the crew of the commercial spaceship Nostromo are on their way home when they pick up a distress call from a distant moon. The crew are under obligation to investigate and the spaceship descends on the moon afterwards. After a rough landing, three crew members leave the spaceship to explore the area on the moon.

When one of the eggs is disturbed, the crew realizes that they are not alone on the spaceship and they must deal with the consequences.
Leave your thoughts about Alien.
| CinéfilozEmmanuel BáezA horror masterpiece that doesn't age at all because its main theme is the fear of the unknown and that's one of the deepest fears. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Georgia StraightSteve NewtonThere have also been digital restorations and improvements to the original film's negative and sound mix, but the best thing about this rerelease is simply the opportunity to see the awesome Alien in theatres again. |
| The SpectatorTed WhiteheadIt's tempting to describe the brilliantly staged scenes of horror and surprise but it would be a shame not to allow the film to reveal its own secrets, enough to say that the tension is savage and you are held in suspense right up to the end frames. |
| Globe and MailStephen ColeThe best thriller of 2003 was made in 1979. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Director Ridley Scott's "Alien" is a near masterpiece with many imitators and zero superiors. |
| GuardianDerek MalcolmIf you want cinematic kicks, Ridley Scott's massively successful Alien will give you them in profusion. |
| Cinema SightWesley LovellA perfect roller coaster blend of horror and science fiction. Sigourney Weaver was an amazing discovery. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonIn a century of sci-fi/horror hybrids, few if any movies do such a good job at reaching the absolute highest peaks of both halves of that equation as this one. |
| 2UE That Movie ShowBlake HowardAlien has power, elicits terror, and the acid blood scars your consciousness. |
| Time OutKeith UhlichIt’s the creature’s instinctual murder spree that makes the immediate impression, but that would be nothing without the simmering tensions among the human counterparts. [30th anniversary release] |
