One of those classics
Considering this movie was made in I think'79 it's an absolute original edge of the seat classic movie. Watch if you haven't, you won't regret it.

Um dos melhores filmes em 4K
Meu primeiro Blu-ray 4k UHD e fiquei bastante feliz com essa edição. A qualidade da imagem do disco 4K é incrível. O blu-ray tradicional tem áudio e legendas em português do Brasil, já o disco 4K UHD não tem opções em pt-BR.

Imprescindible para fans¡¡¡ si no te importa que esté en inglés la caja y el cómic.
Gran diseño de la caja y los extras. Está en inglés ya que és la versión USA, pero si no te importa, no la dejes escapar a este precio. Envío rápido, con mucha antelación a la fecha estimada. Recomendable¡¡¡

The Start of a New Genre; When Sci-Fi Meets Horror
(First I'd like to talk about the way Alien was filmed; It must be a somewhat different technique. I have the Oppo 103 DVD player and the LG PM 6700 Plasma THX 3DTV, and I use Dimensional Optics Active Shutter glasses. With great anticipation I put the Blu-ray of Alien in, opted for the Director's cut and hit play. With Ridley Scott talking about Alien being 25 years later, he was in excellent 3D.Then the movie started with no apparent 3D affect. I set the Oppo to maximum, went into the TV and set its 3D to maximum, and point of view to the maximum plus number. Only then did I get a barely minimal 3D affect.[ I had just watched the 1937 version of, "The Last of The Mohicans" in black and white with Randolph Scott. and the 3D affect was almost as good as Avatar, filmed in 3D.] It would be interesting to get feedback from people with other types of 3D TV's). I think it being the first serious and promoted sci-fi horror movie people didn't know what to expect and had a hard time resolving in what category to place it. The sci-fi crowd were not accustomed to the horror element, and the horror crowd had no idea of what to think of science fiction being a major part of the plot-to the horror crowd if you didn't have vampires, werewolves, demons, devil worship and the Frankenstein monster, you pretty much had nothing. Look at the 1972 "Kolchak The Night Stalker," a made for TV movie that rated a 54, meaning 1/2 the people in the country were watching it and that unheard of record stood for many years. Yes there were some B movies like you saw as part of a two movie double feature on Saturday, like "It The Terror From Beyond Space," or "20 million miles to Earth." Ray Harryhausen was a very busy special effects man. But nothing special. (Alien has been out since 1979 so I think its alright to talk about the various exploits of the movie. And I've owned a copy since it first became available on VHS.) A movie, something very different with a good story and great special effects, a budget, and a director who was not like everybody else, Ridley Scott. He paid attention to details; the scene where they find the seated alien pilot cost 1-million dollars alone ; he said he felt it was that essential in setting up as a clue what was to come and adding to the mystery. The Ship picks up a transmission and they are required to investigate it. They land and find a ship, enter and find a fossilized pilot In exploring they find a cavern full of pods/eggs and when Kane gets close one opens ejecting a scorpion like creature that wraps around his helmet and he has to be carried back. Ripley says Mother had deciphered part of the message and it appeared to be a warning not a distress signal. She refuses to let them in, but Ash the medical officer opens the door. They can't remove it because it bleeds acid, only to find later it has removed itself from him and its dead. The biggest surprise of the movie was where they are eating before going back into hypersleep and the chestburster scene where an alien creature comes out Kane's chest spraying everyone with blood, and Ash, "don't kill it" (wonder why?) . Brett and Parker rig up some motion trackers, electric prods, and flame throwers, to go after a creature they are unaware has grown over eight feet. After it kills Brett and takes his body up an air shaft they realize it is huge; Dallas is the next to die in an air shaft. (What works so well to make the movie scary is you only get glimpses of it; you don't really know what it looks like, what makes it vulnerable, or when you might run into it-once the Alien is loose there is a sense of claustrophobia that never leaves. After Dallas is dead Ripley takes over and finds out from Mother that Ash has been ordered by Nostromo's corporate employers to return the creature to their weapon's division-crew expendable.( I always wondered if the company knew of the signal from a probe and had the Nostromo follow a certain course so it would have to investigate.) There is a fight between Ripley and Ash and the remaining crew decapitates Ash, finding him to be an android; Ash's final words are that they will not survive, then they burn him. In the Director's Cut you see in Ash's quarters pornographic pictures taped to the wall and porn magazines. The fact he had them would lead one to suspect it was in his [deviant] programming-he brought them aboard before the Nostromo left Earth. Ridley Scott opened a whole can of worms here. Parker and Lambert are killed gathering cooling supplies, and Ripley initiates self destruct of the Nostromo. She manages to get aboard the escape pod with her cat Jones, only to find the Alien hidden there. This begs the question, Is the Alien intelligent? She seals Jones in a chamber, herself in a space suit, seated at the controls she gets the creature out by releasing coolant on it. As it comes out and stands behind her, she opens the door and explosive decompression blows it to the doorway where it grasps each side of the opening. She shoots it with a grappling hook which knocks it out into space. The door closes but the rope from the gun has the creature attached and attempting to crawl into an engine, but she fires them up blasting it free into space. The creature seems to be able to survive in space, but evolved from us and we can't, interesting. On LV 426 where they landed to explore the source of the signal and found all the eggs where was the queen? The pilot was there so long he was fossilized, but the eggs were alive? Was Mother correct that the signal was a warning, and as this was an alien race with no prior contact, how was she able to decipher any of it, and it such a short time? Did the company know something thereby placing an android aboard with a separate agenda than getting the ore to Earth? (Nostromo is Italian for "our meat," I wonder what the joke in that means?) Alien spawned literally a flood of movies where some creature made physical contact with man then morphed hidden in the guise of a human. Many did not try anything new, or even being clever, some were so shameless as to have creatures that looked very, very similar. If it is true that copying is the best form of compliment, Ridley Scott sits alone atop a mountain. I think Alien is one of the two scariest movies ever made, the other being The Exorcist. I rate it "a two bagger" (of microwave popcorn.) Just grab the biggest container of your favorite soft drink, sit back, and enjoy.
