Every beat in every scene feels emotionally honest and contributes to an overall aesthetic that builds from mundanity, mystery, terror and eventually, horror. It's moody and terrifying and launched a genuine star in Sigourney Weaver, who played a woman protagonist in an action-horror film in an era and a genre that 35 years later still lacks for strong, interesting leading women. It's better shot, better directed, it has better art-direction, a better-cast and is better written. I'm not afraid, because I have the power of truth on my side.Īlien outclasses its sequel in every category.
I (Danielle) love Alien, Ben Kuchera prefers Aliens, and we're going to duke it out. We're not here to take the mature path, however. Yes, Alien is more of a horror film, and Aliens more of an action movie. We'll have no wishy-washy "they're apples and oranges" talk here. Which is a better film, 1979's Alien or its sequel, 1986's Aliens?
