That feeling when you've seen the film multiple times but escaping Nostromo feels always exciting! And saving Jonesy!!

[evernevermore-ciso]

Suspense done right. I've seen this movie countless times and I'm still anxious as hell watching her escape the ship. She gets away by mere seconds. I'd love to have seen this in 1979. When NOBODY knew what was gonna happen or if Ripley would survive.

[Wolfenstein]

Even though there’s no noise in space I like that eerie sound of wind as she’s escaping. Really gives you the sense that she’s all alone out there in the darkness.

[saras]

Ripley: "I did it. I escaped!"

ALIEN: "Cool blast!"

[Tor-Erik]

With no scary music buildup, this makes Alien more scarier, something that modern horror movies lacks.

Why there are three explosions:
First, the reactors on Nostromo detonated.
After the damage of that first blast, the reactor on the refinery rig exploded. The ore being processed is flung into space.
Finally, the gas and ore that was flung ignites in a very bright, but less impactful detonation.
Leaving behind a small, artificial nebula, which quickly cools and dissipates.

Seeing this film on the big screen should be on every cinemaphile's bucket list

[kermitkurtz]

My absolute favorite film. I’ve never grown tired of seeing this amazing piece of art on film. Movies have never surpassed this and the way things are going they never will. Sheer perfection.

Jones: “Thanks for saving me, but did you have to toss me around like a basketball?”

[alexheisenberg]

0:51 they teased the alien hiding there for a moment. Ripley was so desperate that she didn't even noticed. Details like this are gold

[blackjackmusic]

I love that she didn't forget Jonesy

[leoleony]

The abort didn’t work in the end because Ripley forgot to reengage the safety interlocks (those two big levers) prior to starting the abort procedure. She didn’t read the abort instructions written on the panel cover correctly, which clearly states under “scuttle procedure” to “re-engage safety interlocks prior to abort code input”. The movie deserves recognition for that level of detail.

The atmosphere in these scenes is unbelievable! So much suspence

[caroline]

Love the countdown from mother the computer, really spine chilling

[tonycollins]

I first read Alien before it came to the screen in the dead of winter . It felt so claustrophobic in the book . The feeling transferred to to the screen beautifully. I still get that tight claustrophobic feel every time I watch the movie and the sheer terror of getting off the ship still is a rush after all these years .

[zerogee]

The Nostromo and refinery really do give the extra vibe that was needed for the movie.

[Veers]

Absolutely LOVE that fade to a purple/blue cloud at the end

[Cafearmuire]

0:52-3 When you realise he was there all the time.

[DavidBorowski-vzpe]

Suspenseful scene in a great flick…and love technology look for 1979
