Official Score = 4 Devils[/caption]The Alien series... What can I say about this series? I mean one for one just about every major player in this series' careers have been helped by this series, including Sigourney Weaver (Ghostbusters), Ridley Scott (Prometheus), Dan O'Bannon (Total Recall), and even Walter Hill (The Warriors) to name a few!
Now as for Alien.... I personally think this movie is fantastic because I found the special effects to be so realistic that the various Aliens that were created for this movie could be what at least some of the Alien life that is out there could be like in real life!
I also found that the writing was fantastic, and the story was great!
I also found that the acting was so realistic that one could almost say... (A look at the future of space travel maybe?)
And that is just a small fraction of what makes, Alien great!

Some of the crew of the, 'Nostromo' as they are prepping to investigate the, 'Moon' that, 'Mother' sent them to![/caption]Alien tells the story of how during their ride home, 'Mother' (the name for the computer on the freighter, 'Nostromo'), wakes up the crew from being in hypersleep to investigate a distress signal that she has detected!
So they take their Drop Ship down to investigate this call.
When they arrive on the planet, Captain Dallas (Skerritt) takes a team that includes, Lambert (Cartwright), and Kane (Hurt) to investigate the location of the signal... Now while they are there, Kane is attacked by an Alien that latches itself on to Kane's face!
Now in a hurry, Dallas and Lambert take Kane back to the ship, but Ripley (Weaver), won't let them in until they have gone through quarantine, (at this point both Lambert and Dallas are in a panic to get their shipmate in to the sickbay.)
So their carryon android, 'Ash' (Holm) decides to break quarantine and let Dallas and their team on to the ship!
Now after Dallas and the crew get Kane to the sickbay onboard the mother ship and discover that they can't get the alien off of his face without killing Kane, the Alien comes off by itself!
So Kane and the crew of the ship decide to sit down to a meal before heading back to hypersleep. While they're eating their meal, a new Alien bursts out of Kane's body (killing him). Now the crew of the ship are going to have to capture this Alien, before the Alien begins to feed off the rest of the crew!
