Comments: Pretty slow movie with many dated yet timeless references to societal this and thats, and not much really happens, but it's a gigantic movie

Liked it more on this re-watch than I have in the past, and I had just watched Memory: The Origins of Alien so maybe I was a little pumped up

I'm still a 2 guy, I think. May have another look at that now


Summary: When a mining ship lands on a planet to investigate upon a suspected SOS, the entire crew are unaware of the terror which they would unleash upon their ship. When a alien life-form attach's itself to the face of a crew member, the rest of the team act fast to try and separate the two organisms. Unbeknownst to everyone, this is the start of the terror which would affect every member of the seven person crew.
