I first saw this at a comic book convention and scrambled on HBO. It scared the crap out of me yet I kept coming back to it.
I feel this is a quintescential science fiction movie. It is intelligent, well crafted, thought out, and consistent.The tech is wonderful and real. The alien is perfect.
The Nostromo is on my top ten best spaceships. I’ve loved the xenomorph resonates to this day. It is a much see for any scifi buff, film buff, or horror buff.
