Since im only 19 years old (turning 20 this June), this is gonna be my first Alien movie cinema experience.

I have been a huge fan for years now and had hundreds of nightmares about the Alien, facehuggers, even the space jockey a few years ago...and i loved those nightmares! I can't wait to see this one on the big screen.

My question is the next: Who do you plan to watch it with? Alone or friends, family members?

Im bringing my brother with me, who is also a big fan.

Ati- all good. Not seeing an Alien film at my age seems rebellious in a weird way.

Dad is to blame for my fandom - showed me Alien when I was 12 and Aliens a year later- both on VHS an Alien gave me super nightmares and after Aliens my dad said, so what did think? I acted cool and said it was good and then proceeded to pour my 7up down my shirt when trying to take a sip. Needless to say I was blown away! Then a couple Christmas traditions my Dad sis and I watched Alien 3 in theater and later Alien resurrection(eh-damn end monster). Saw Prometheus in IMAX glory! I'm 36 so my dad must've waited until I was old enoughish so I will do the same for my guys.

Great post, respect to the new generation!

I was too young to watch Alien in 79, but around 85 my older sister and her friends forced me to watch Alien when I was about 10 ( on VHS ) it left an indelible mark on me for life....

I don't think any film of its genre has maintained its longevity, it's like a fine wine, it gets better with age

Fox released the Directors cut on the big screen about 2003/2004 ( someone correct me on the date if I'm wrong ) so I got to see Alien on the big screen in the end

Tonight I will be watching Alien with my no1 sci-fi friend.

As far as AC goes, I will be watching it a day early with my friend, then I have rounded the troops up for a second viewing weekend of 13th May ' Dads Cinema Club!'

My dad saw Alien back in the day whaen I was a kid. He was in the Coast Guard and saw it during that time. He told me he saw a movie called Alien that was pretty scary and gave me a Space Invaders cartridge for my Atari 2600. Little did he know the sci fi fan he was grooming! Those were the days!
