MOON (2009) – Thumbs up!
No words Fantastic!ALIEN - (1979) - Thumbs up!
The First Half is terrific and Fantastic! No Problems.
The Second Half is Basically looking around. SPOOKY ALIEN! Looking around… SPOOKY ALIEN! And that’s the rest of the film pretty much.
There is a bit of haunted house in space aspect to Alien. A whole lotta’ other movies have basically copied Alien since 1979. There was even a tv-movie knockoff set on an isolated oil rig a few years later.
Alien took some inspiration from Planet of The Vampires (1965), It! The Terror From Beyond Space (1958), and a pinch of John Carpenter’s Dark Star (1974) co-written by Alien scribe Dan O’Bannon.
