Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
An empty-headed horror movie with nothing to recommend it beyond the disco-inspired art direction and some handsome, if gimmicky, cinematography.

fresh:
An old-fashioned scary movie set in a highly realistic sci-fi future, made all the more believable by expert technical craftmanship.

fresh:
The limited strengths of its staple sci-fi horrors always derived from either the offhand organic/ Freudian resonances of its design or the purely (brilliantly) manipulative editing and pacing of its above-average shock quota.

rotten:
It is depressing to watch an expensive, crafty movie that never soars beyond its cold desire to score the big bucks.
– Frank Rich,

fresh:
The most startling thing watching Alien again is its pacing. For the first 45 minutes, little happens. It's all slow, exquisite build-up, which makes the second half seem all the more horrific.
