Alien

Alien is a good movie. By watching it now you are still getting a fun ride for a 30 year old film. Alien is about you guessed it an Alien who attacks a crew of a space ship ways away from earth.
The plot itself is quite good. By using dimly lit corridors and steam the atmosphere of the movie helps set the plot. Space science fiction has always been interesting to me so this movie to me was interesting. The acting was ok also. All of the crew members were believable in their terror except for one who was a bit annoying toward the end of the film. Thankfully I think after they casted her the writers thought she was annoying too as she doesn't make it out alive. The dialogue wasn't very much focused on. The parts it was like the dinner scene were alright. Nothing really stuck out as awful. Once again silence was used way more to keep the eerie feeling in the spaceship.
 Overall this movie was quite good. Alien has not aged badly and the effects aren't too bad. You can tell certain effects are quite old, but for the most part the models do look real.  I really enjoyed the eerie feeling you felt throughout the movie. I thought the plot itself was great and maybe with a remake in the future sometime a director can take advantage of new effects, because this plot is good enough for a second round! If you can get over the somewhat old costume design and effects your looking at having quite a fun time with this movie.
