An Introduction To The Motion Picture Alien

If you are looking into a particular piece such as this, than you are likely looking to learn a little more about one of the most impressive science fiction films to ever hit the screens, “Alien”. Surely, there is a good bit that you might want to know and understand to truly appreciate the film, and most of this as well as a plot synopsis is what you could expect from this article.

For starters, there were always creepy sci-fi movies about aliens for many years before this film came out. So the concept, though unique in the way that it was written into the plot, was not something that the audience had never seen before. There were considerable differences between the creatures that were featured in this film against the beings that came before it.

One of the first and most noteworthy differences between the predecessors and the new revamped ones, would be that these creatures were not just slow moving awkward beings. Rather, they were highly intelligent, terrifying to look at, and even deadlier to be around than anything that might have hit the screen before it.

They were creatures that instilled fear and terror into the audiences that got to see them. They walked on all fours like the most deadly predators on Earth do, and they learned rather easily that humans were a rather simple kill. They had a couple of rows of razor sharp teeth and heavily salivated a substance that was able to eat through the floor of the space ship that the crew that came to the planet called home.

The humans of the film are part of a mining expedition out in space when they hear a distress signal coming from a planet that they are passing by. So they unload their tow and leave it in orbit while they head to the planet to see if they can help. It doesn’t take them long to learn that this was no distress signal at all, and they are most certainly not alone on the planet. Dallas and Kane, two crew members head out and encounter the creatures first when one attaches to Kane’s face and won’t release.

But unbeknown to them at first, the crew later learns that they were meant to land on the planet and retrieve one of these creatures, whether they themselves actually made it back to Earth alive or not. They try many different ways to escape, and many of the crew is killed in the chaos. Ripley manages to escape on a shuttle after hitting the self destruct button on the ship, but not without an alien clinging to the outside portion of her craft trying to get in. When the creature attempts to enter through the thruster vents, she fires them on which kills the creature and she is able to make the trip back to Earth.

This movie would not be nearly as good if it weren’t for the incredible acting involved. Performances from Sigourney Weaver (Ripley), Tom Skerritt (Dallas) and John Hurt (Kane) really made this movie remarkable.

If you wanted to learn a little more about this impressive science fiction horror film, I can trust that you are a little better educated now. While this movie was released in 1979, Alien and its many sequels are still hailed as being among the very best extraterrestrial movies of all time.
