You can always close your eyes (like I do) when scenes become too gory?

I think one of the best parts of "Alien" (1979) is the 20 minute opening, at first critizised for its being "not much happening" or stagnant.

We know better now - that creating atmosphere and pacing were objectives perfectly realized.

Then there were the scenes with Ash ("twitchy" artificial person)! Ian Holms is perfectly chilling.

The whole theme about trusting a system that has no soul, is completely clear. "Mother", "David" even HAL are archetypical examples of how, machines/artificial devices (or systems) have no clue without a soul (our part of God) to steer action towards fruition.

The Alien odyssey is like our very own classic epic told about our times, and for all times a warning like "Frankenstein".
