Alien Movie Evaluation Essay
The sci-fi horror film Alien is a classic to have in a movie
collection. This movie laid the
standards for all sci-fi horror films. The most notable feature
for this movie is the special effects.
For its time, this movie was a visual masterpiece, and even in
more recent times the effects are still
cutting edge. The acting in Alien leaves the audience on the
edge of their seats, wondering what
will happen next no matter how many times it is viewed.
Another important aspect to this movie
is the setting. The setting really drives this movie home because
it makes the audience think.
The most notable feature of the movie Alien is the special
effects. The xenomorph has been
haunting people since this movie came out and really defines
this movie as a classic. The
xenomorph was someone in a suit, compared to modern day
aliens as CGI when even with modern
technology still looks mediocre. Nothing can beat an actor in a
monster suit, that is what sticks
with people is the realness of it. Although, the CGI in the film
was stunning for its time and even
in modern day it is still amazing. The ship flying through space
looked more realistic than the
modern video games where they detail even the smallest pore on
someone’s nose, especially
considering it came out in 1979. To this day, Alien has cutting
edge special effects which still ranks
it as a top movie.
Another feature in this film that has it ranked as a top classic is
the acting. The emotion on
the characters faces seem genuine, like they are feeling and
experiencing everything in real time
rather than just acting out a script. Since the actors seem so
genuine in their emotions, it connects

more with the audience and it feels as if they are experiencing
everything too. This is an important
feature in movies, especially horror movies, because it gives the
movie a better rating. Sci-fi horror,
or even horror movies in general in modern times is more of a
spectacle and they are all about the
jump scares. A classic like Alien has suspense, drama, a few
jump scares, but it has the audience
on the edge of their seat scared, and it connects more with them.
The setting in Alien sets the ground for the whole movie. It is
set in the future, where
humans have more advanced technology, and they can explore
further in space than ever before.
This is what really sets the whole movie because it gets the
audience thinking before, during, and
after the movie and it sticks with them. Space is completely
unknown, humans have discovered
planets, and have traveled to the moon, but anything further
than that is nothing and humans have
no idea. This movie gets the audience thinking about possible
life in the universe besides humans,
has them wondering if it is friendly, if they discover it what
happens next, etc. Having an audience
pondering such things is in its own torturing, it scares people,
which is the entire point of a horror
film, especially sci-fi horror. Alien is not the movie of aliens
invading Earth, because those movies
have no substance. Alien is about discovery, and it makes the
audience think about the questions
no one wants to answer.
Alien has set the standards for sci-fi horror films and is a
classic to have in any movie
collection. The special effects were ahead of their time, the
acting was phenomenal, and the setting
of the movie really gets people thinking about the possibility of
life on other planets and what will
happen when we discover it. This movie makes you think, it has
people gripping their seat with
anticipation and fear, and it has done this 40 years and will
continue to do so for 40 more.

  • 1. [removed] Student last name 1 Student Mr. Martin ENG 102 mm/dd/year Alien Movie Evaluation Essay The sci-fi horror film Alien is a classic to have in a movie collection. This movie laid the standards for all sci-fi horror films. The most notable feature for this movie is the special effects. For its time, this movie was a visual masterpiece, and even in more recent times the effects are still cutting edge. The acting in Alien leaves the audience on the edge of their seats, wondering what will happen next no matter how many times it is viewed. Another important aspect to this movie is the setting. The setting really drives this movie home because it makes the audience think.
  • 2. The most notable feature of the movie Alien is the special effects. The xenomorph has been haunting people since this movie came out and really defines this movie as a classic. The xenomorph was someone in a suit, compared to modern day aliens as CGI when even with modern technology still looks mediocre. Nothing can beat an actor in a monster suit, that is what sticks with people is the realness of it. Although, the CGI in the film was stunning for its time and even in modern day it is still amazing. The ship flying through space looked more realistic than the modern video games where they detail even the smallest pore on someone’s nose, especially considering it came out in 1979. To this day, Alien has cutting edge special effects which still ranks it as a top movie. Another feature in this film that has it ranked as a top classic is the acting. The emotion on the characters faces seem genuine, like they are feeling and experiencing everything in real time rather than just acting out a script. Since the actors seem so genuine in their emotions, it connects

This is an important feature in movies, especially horror movies, because it gives the movie a better rating. Sci-fi horror, or even horror movies in general in modern times is more of a spectacle and they are all about the jump scares. A classic like Alien has suspense, drama, a few jump scares, but it has the audience on the edge of their seat scared, and it connects more with them. The setting in Alien sets the ground for the whole movie. It is set in the future, where humans have more advanced technology, and they can explore further in space than ever before. This is what really sets the whole movie because it gets the audience thinking before, during, and after the movie and it sticks with them. Space is completely unknown, humans have discovered planets, and have traveled to the moon, but anything further than that is nothing and humans have no idea. This movie gets the audience thinking about possible life in the universe besides humans,
  • 4. has them wondering if it is friendly, if they discover it what happens next, etc. Having an audience pondering such things is in its own torturing, it scares people, which is the entire point of a horror film, especially sci-fi horror. Alien is not the movie of aliens invading Earth, because those movies have no substance. Alien is about discovery, and it makes the audience think about the questions no one wants to answer. Alien has set the standards for sci-fi horror films and is a classic to have in any movie collection. The special effects were ahead of their time, the acting was phenomenal, and the setting of the movie really gets people thinking about the possibility of life on other planets and what will happen when we discover it. This movie makes you think, it has people gripping their seat with anticipation and fear, and it has done this 40 years and will continue to do so for 40 more.
