Review of Alien (1979) by Paul R — 01 Dec 2013
Ridley Scott's groundbreaking Sci-Fi film "Alien" has set the standard for so many recent films in the genre. Many have copied the style with success but none have matched it for its brilliance.
From the sprawling empty corridors to the amazing slow and secret introduction of the now iconic Giger designed Xenomorph this film is hugely detailed and genuine. The cast is perfect and the suspense is thick, with some great scares that never lose their ferocity no matter how many times you see it.
It's one of the greatest Sci-Fi films ever made. I replaced my DVD Quadrilogy for the Blu Ray Anthology immediately and the transfer is sublime. One of the greatest Blu Rays I've ever bought, highly recommended.
