Yeah... you gotta love reviews like this

Hard to believe that Alien was created in 1979. A year after I was born and the movie still proves that space is a crazy, dangerous place where no one hears you scream, you can't trust AI and you better damn well bring weapons next time :P

"Sure, they control the ship using outdated CRT monitors, but Ridley Scott was clearly influenced by Stanley Kubrick's realism in 2001. He just added pants-shitting terror to that realism."
