Alien is easily one of the greatest films ever made. From the opening scene to the final credits, it is near perfect in every way.
-
I was born in 1992 and I've only watched this movie on VHS as a kid, but I'm definitely gonna go see Alien in the theater when this comes out.

Love how this paid homage to the original trailer. I can only imagine how iconic it must have been back then. And it didn’t spoil the plot, Ripley wasn’t made obvious as the main character in the first half and I love it.

I'm 13 and OBSESSED with the alien movies. My dad is taking me to see it in the theaters tomorrow and I'm so excited!!!!!!
-
This film scared the crap out of me at 15 years old when I saw alien for the first time. It still freaks me out to this day at 24 years old
-
That's how I originally saw it, in the theater back when it first opened. I was just a little kid and man did this film make an impression on me.
-
i saw it in theaters 10 years ago and it was a great experience!
-
One of the best movies ever made. I can't wait to finally experience it on the big screen.
-
My birthday is Alien Day
-
Next month will be 45 years and it's STILL the best of all 4 films.
-
Now that’s how you do a trailer
-
got my tickets and my local session is almost sold out.
-
This is the best horror movie ever made. But still, I can't decide wether the first or the second movie is the best.
-
I hope it’s the theatrical version!!

This film was just amazing for 1979. You had Star Wars in 1977 and you thought it couldn't get better than that. When I saw this movie, in the cinema in 1979, it disturbed me for weeks. No other film did that to me, not even The Exorcist, at the time.

Alien is a masterpiece. Alien: Romulus Is a franchise.
-
This film is amazing to this day.
-
I saw Alien and Aliens as a double header on the big screen during Covid. What an experience.
-
Alien is the first movie I watched on home video Betamax when my uncle splurged and bought his first VCR. I will never forget the experience watching this movie for the first time. Big screen here I come, ticket booked. It will most likely be a digital showing, but I would wish it has a film showing as well.

Saw this at a drive-in cinema when I was 13 in Minnesota.
