    "Alien," directed by Ridley Scott and released in 1979, is a seminal science fiction horror film that has left an indelible mark on both genres. The film stars Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley, a warrant officer on the commercial space tug Nostromo. The plot revolves around the crew's encounter with a deadly extraterrestrial organism after investigating a distress signal on a desolate planet.
    The movie is renowned for its atmospheric tension, groundbreaking special effects, and the iconic design of the titular alien by artist H.R. Giger. "Alien" blends sci-fi and horror elements seamlessly, creating a claustrophobic and terrifying experience that explores themes of isolation, survival, and the unknown.
    Sigourney Weaver's performance established Ripley as a powerful and enduring female protagonist, paving the way for strong women in action and sci-fi films. "Alien" not only achieved commercial success but also garnered critical acclaim, earning an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects and spawning a successful franchise, including sequels, prequels, and crossovers.
    Overall, "Alien" remains a landmark film, celebrated for its innovation, suspenseful storytelling, and cultural impact, influencing countless movies and inspiring a dedicated fan base.

      Which brings me to Alien 3. Wasn’t a big fan when it came out because it was a very boring movie when you go into it expecting another movie like Aliens. Now that time has passed I’ve watched it for the movie it was trying to be and its actually a good movie. Just nowhere the masterpieces the first 2 were.
      Even when I first saw it I thought Ripleys death (minus the bad lava CGI) was very well done on an emotional level. She just couldn’t escape that damn Alien and she showed true courage until the very end her only concern was killing the queen and not saving herself. Bottom line biggest problem with Alien 3 is it had to follow Aliens.
      Now Alien Resurrection is just a horribly directed movie.

Alien 3 on the other hand, can be respected for what it is, which to me was the last decent Alien movie of the franchise..I havent watched Resurrection in years. as a matter of fact, i think ive only watched it about 3 times ever. i dont blame the director. the story was good. how it was told was the problem for me.

    This movie succeeds partly because of the dialogue. Some of it was ad-libed. There's one part where Ripley and Parker are arguing. There is a mic for Sigourney Weaver, but Yaphet Kotto is away from the mic toward the back of the set and we hear him in the background on Weaver's mic. The camera was focused on Weaver. It was great and very natural feeling. In most cases, you'll have either both people speaking to each other with either one camera on both or a shot of each other when they are speaking with one mic for both or one mic for each.
    The shot with Ripley and Parker's argument obviously was centered on Ripley, not just with her dealing with the threat of the Alien, but with having to deal with a crew that wasn't exactly working with her.

    • @pumpkinhold

      The argument part wasn't just ad-libbed; Kotto and Weaver were actually getting on each other's nerves during that part of the fimling. That's why it is so cringey when Weaver is screaming at Yaphet.

Although UA-cam currently doesn't support Dolby Vision, the video is HDR compatible. If UA-cam ever supports Dolby Vision in the future, this video should play in Dolby Vision as intended.
    - Watch in HDR for best results! Watching this in SDR may produce colour inaccuracies due to the way UA-cam converts HDR to SDR.

Loved Tom Skerrit's cynical captain and the practical, switched on flight crew, and the contract-obsessed engineers from the lower deck. This film is not a film, it is art, and deservedly got the Oscar for Lighting, should have got more recognition. One of science-fiction's most influential movies, it hasn't dated to this day.
