Yeah, i grew up with it and it's one of the first of it's kind of depicting the" future as being old". It's very influential with it's art direction, sets and style.

But, it's cult movie for a reason. More sizzle than steak.

I love it, because I'm of it's time, but I get people not loving it now.

The sequel is really good, and it updates the stylization very well.

I feel that, my brother was saying it may be because it’s an older movie but that’s definitely not it. I was going down a rabbit whole of watching older iconic movies. I saw Alien and Aliens (The sequel to Alien) and i was glued from start to finish. The production was amazing too but the story was also super awesome! The first movie was mostly suspense with little action and i loved it, the second was a mix of action and suspense and i loved it even more! Some people in this post commented about it being such a unique aesthetic for the time but Starwars and the Alien movies had this 80’s vision of the future too and had allot more to offer in terms of story and production alike. Not to mention Robocop, The Terminator, Judge Dread etc…

I find it funny you felt the need to put "The sequel to Alien" in parentheses after Aliens.

Hahaha yeah It just confuses people since it’s not called “Aliens 2” so I often say “And the sequel Aliens”

I assure you it confuses almost no one.

And, why should he take your opinion over his own personal experience?

I feel like you're trying to be a jerk.

Maybe, cut it out, lol?

It's not my opinion, I'm asking you why the OP should take yours, though?

I'm, saying you sound like you're trying to be mean, and I think you should stop, lol.

That's what's up.

But, maybe you're too dumb to get that.

Yeah, it's not as good a story as some of the others you mention.

It was also a famously troubled production, you should look into it.

I always felt maybe that had something to do with it not quite gelling.

This might be what it was missing for me, some people here say the Director’s cut is where it’s at so i will be sure to check that out. I really wanna like this story cause the movie looks so cool.

It has a lot of different cuts. The Final Cut is the best IMO not the director's cut.

I think I grew up on the theatrical cut, and it has the voice over.

Read into all the different cuts, because there's one without vo, that i think i disliked.

It's a lotta homework for a fucking movie, you know?
