The Alien franchise has always played a pretty special role in my life. I have been a huge Terminator and Star Wars fan in my whole life but the Alien movies always meant much more for me. I was relatively young when I first saw the Alien movies (please do not blame my parents ) and I fall in love with them immediately (ok ok... When they released the 4th one, I knew something just went wrong in this universe ). And I am that rare type of fan who just loves the 3rd movie... I think it is amazing.
I always felt that in the Alien movies everything is just on point. The stroy, the cinematography, the mood and the characters...and of course the design. The one and only #hrgiger created something truely unique and of course the other parts of the design were just that great too. The human technology and those designs are still one of the best even today. The amazing work of Ron Cobb and of course Syd Mead... Oooh maaaan I drew everything from the whole Alien Universe for hundreds of time.
There were days when I watch one of the movies while I eat my breakfast...than I rewinded the VHS tape and watched the same one again for my lunch
Then came the Alien related games, comic books and books... This franchise has been in my life for more than 20 years now and I think it will last for ever.
