Ridley Scott: Alien (1979)


Well 'Alien' was something! You went to the movies without knowing what's to come. You sat down and it started. This movie was a big surprise when it came out. Once again: it's a pity that you can't see this movie for the very first time and not knowing the plot, the shocking story.
Ridley Scott's career is not a triumph. He has done very good movies like this and then he has done movies. But what the heck. If someone can do a movie like this, he has a place in the history of movies.
Sigourney Weaver as Ripley is also great (like the rest of the cast in this first one). Alien himself (oops herself) is great too but here the greatness is that you don't know it too good. It has got some mystery around itself. Thank to H.R. Giger.
But why the sequels? Yes, I know why...
