This led to a franchise that now has six standalone movies, the last of which came out in 2017. This blueprint was a sensation with audiences, with the films receiving great critical acclaim and box-office success.
Like other horror classics there was a big baddie (the ‘xenomorph’), a hero (Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley), and an ensemble cast that would get picked off one-by-one as the hero fought for survival. Alien was championed for it’s (at the time) creative futuristic vision, but it also gave the audience something different – this was a classic horror movie, set in space. These two films, along with Cameron’s The Terminator in 1984, transformed the science fiction genre into something slightly different – science fiction horror. Alien (directed by Ridley Scott in 1979) and its sequel Aliens (directed by James Cameron in 1986) were revolutionary at the time. Got it? Ok.Ī bit of background is needed here before I go into the overview. In summary, it’s a crap movie, but it’s a good crap movie. Also, it had a reasonably big budget of $80 million USD, so at least the set pieces and special effects are passable.

However, if you want to switch your brain off and watch a couple of iconic movie sci-fi villains try and kill each other for a few hours, it’s perfect. That is, it’s clearly a bad movie – the production quality is crap, the script is terrible, and there’s no real benefit to watching this. Starring: Sanaa Lathan, Raoul Bova, Lance Henriksen, Ewen Bremner, Tommy Flanagan
