Alien (1979) Review

Alien is an incredible movie that did amazing things for horror, sci-fi, and cinema as a whole. It imagined an incredible amount of very real-seeming possibilities for space travel and contact with other life forms that impresses me to this day despite being 41 years old.

Synopsis

Alien is the story of a deep-space commercial towing vehicle, named Nostromo, and it’s crew who are bringing a tremendous amount of ore back to earth. 

There are seven crewmembers and they seem to be mostly blue collar folk, with the exception of the Chief Science Officer, Ash.

They are awoken from stasis following receiving a transmission from a nearby planet and are bound by their contract with “the company” to check it out. 

They discover some eggs near a spaceship crash-site and end up with more alien than they bargained for!
