Alien in 4k
Ridley Scott created an all time classic Horror-Sci Fi film with Alien. A group of space shippers gets a signal from a baren planet and go to investigate only to get a face hugger stuck to John Hurt. There’s nothing more iconic than seeing the egg and the face hugger for the first time. Nothing like that had been seen before and it shocked audiences the first time people saw it. The story actually revolves around a company hoping to exploit the alien. This would be copied in subsequent Alien films and played upon the Frankenstein theme that messing with nature can only go wrong. Alien is one of those must see movies. The mood it set. The imagery it created and more are unforgettable.
I was excited to find out that this classic was getting a 40th anniversary release. Some people aren't fond of the way this steelbook looks. I am not one of them. I think it's gorgeous!
