Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5101355, member: 44"] Alien was a very well-made movie. The fact that you didn't get to see the alien until the end of the movie just heightened the tension. I love the scene when they're sitting together and the chestburster pops out. The actors weren't told about the special effects and that was a one take scene. Those shocked expressions are real. When Aliens came out, I wasn't expecting all that much of the sequel because it would be hard to duplicate the mystery intention of the first movie. The good thing was they didn't try and instead chose to basically make a war movie in space. The result was terrific and in its own way Aliens is better than the original movie, certainly as an action blockbuster. [/QUOTE]
