    Alien worked so well because it feels alien. Nothing is explained. Their Giger species and that space ship was fucked up and like nothing before... full of mystery. Even in Cameron's Aliens shit was going down... and why? There is no why, it's some fucked up Alien species and we're fucked!

    Even though the engineers in Prometheus also were fascinating - I hope Ridley doesn't start explaining all this shit away. Boring!

    • Maybe this is why a lot of ridley scott films recently are just average. He's losing the art of viewer imaginationIanbolton
    • i loved how like 30% thru Aliens the characters make the RIGHT decision to evacuate and nuke the colony from space, but still don't manage to escapesarahfailin
    • characters rarely try to do the thing that I would do in their same situationsarahfailin
    • Aliens would be pretty short if they got out of there and nuked it from space 30% through. Also prolly not as good.refunktion
    • Aliens pretty much explains everything though. Burke Carter J initiated the whole thing.i_monk
