Viewed the first film with some friends when it came out. Great movie it scared the heck out of me. I just don't do the blood and guts movies any more or I would watch the DVD later.

You can always close your eyes (like I do) when scenes become too gory? - mpathus 08:02:19 06/17/12 (0)
I think one of the best parts of "Alien" (1979) is the 20 minute opening, at first critizised for its being "not much happening" or stagnant.

We know better now - that creating atmosphere and pacing were objectives perfectly realized.

Then there were the scenes with Ash ("twitchy" artificial person)! Ian Holms is perfectly chilling.

The whole theme about trusting a system that has no soul, is completely clear. "Mother", "David" even HAL are archetypical examples of how, machines/artificial devices (or systems) have no clue without a soul (our part of God) to steer action towards fruition.

The Alien odyssey is like our very own classic epic told about our times, and for all times a warning like "Frankenstein".
