		The whereabouts of ''Nostromo'' and her crew remained unknown for the next 57 years; it simply never returned from its journey to Thedus, and was listed as missing and presumed destroyed.
		The speed of a spaceship is often expressed in terms of ''c'', the "speed of light", one cell per generation, which in many cellular automata is the fastest that an effect can spread.
		A pattern that, when a spaceship is input, outputs a copy of the spaceship travelling in a different direction is called a reflector.

		The film feels more oppressive, and the spaceship (the Nostromo) lumbers like the huge piece of complicated machinery it's supposed to be, in stark contrast to the shiny white models found in other films.
		The story is fairly simple, as many good horror stories are: the crew of the spaceship Nostromo lands on a remote planet in deep space to investigate a transmission from an unknown source.
		Kane is brought back to the Nostromo, where medical officer, Ash (Holm), is unable to remove the creature until it falls off on its own.

		Much of the ship's architecture, particularly its interiors and the colossal spires of its refinery structure, are inspired by the cavernous yet simultaneously claustrophobic sensibilities of haunted houses and castles from Gothic Horror films such as Nosferatu.

		Their goal was to find the missing members of Nostromo's crew as well as rid the spaceship of all alien intruders.
		Well, while they recognized that "Nostromo" would have been a thrilling addition to any theme park, certain senior members of the Imagineering staff voiced concerns that any ride that featured the Alien monsters might be too dark and intense for Disney's family-based audience.
		Well, even though "Nostromo" was a no go, some good did eventually come out of the aborted attraction.

		Nostromo, a commercial towing-vehicle en route to Earth towing several million tons of mineral ore, carries a crew of seven and a computer the crew calls "Mother", which monitors the ship's operations.
		The tug portion of the Nostromo lands on the planet (with the ore and mining facilities left in orbit) and Dallas, Kane and Lambert leave the ship to investigate the signal.
		Some shots outside the Nostromo on the planet use children in spacesuits (specifically Ridley Scott's and the cameraman's children) as stand-ins in order to make the spaceship's landing-legs seem larger.

		A spaceship reacts to a distress signal from an unknown planet and unwittingly acquires a stowaway.
		Employed by the "Company," (allusions to Joseph Conrad's fiction abound) Captain Dallas (Tom Skerritt) and his crew are awakened from their "hypersleep" when the ship's computer intercepts an SOS signal of unknown origin.
		Alien's plot is pretty basic: in deep space, the star-trawler Nostromo discovers a derelict ship, only to have one of its crew incapacitated by some sort of extraterrestrial parasite.

		This led directly to what was assumed to be the first encounter between humans and the aliens (although the movie Alien vs. Predator shows an earlier encounter with the aliens in the 21st century).
		The Nostromo was destroyed in the encounter and only Warrant Officer Ripley and Jones were able to abandon ship and make it out alive in the shuttle.

		He is brought back, against Ripley's wishes, to the Nostromo, where the crew attempt to pry the octopus-like being away from Kane's visage.
		The alien's ambiguous shape means that it could be hiding anywhere and everywhere, as proven by later moments in the film when the alien is in plain view of the crew members, but is only noticed when it makes its presence known.
		Visually, the rooms and hallways on the Nostromo are small, narrow, and cluttered - which gives the film a real feeling of claustrophobia.

		The Company have directed the crew of the spaceship Nostromo to take an alien on board, but it's hostile, seemingly invulnerable, and it picks the crew off one by one.
		She returned to Earth only to discover her family's long dead (from the director's cut) and unable to function in society (going from an XO of a long-haul freighter to a dock worker who wakes up with sweats every night).
		But there are enough minor twists along the way to make it interesting, the sfx are good (especially the underwater aliens, but I don't think terrified humans could really hold their breath for that long), and there are some great one-liners (mainly from Ripley).

	Oberlin Review: Arts
		It is here that the alien bursts out of Kane’s (John Hurt) stomach and proceeds to terrorize the ship until only Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and the cat are left alive.
		For the first hour the camera focuses on Dallas (Tom Skeritt) and his crew’s interaction with the Nostromo, giving the ship the feel of an unspectacular factory.
		Only halfway through the film does the alien grow to its full size, and even then it spends more time in the air ducts than engaging in the unrepentant destruction it is now, twenty-four years later, renowned for.

		The film opens with an underbelly shot of the spaceship Nostromo (after Joseph Conradís character), a commercial tug pulling refineries processing millions of tons of mineral ore back to Earth.
		As we prowl the bowels of the Nostromo, the first sign of life is, tellingly, a technological one, a computer springing to life.
		Lambert is the frightened, paralyzed version of feminine, but Ripleyís final scenes portray the evolving complexities of the feminine in showing her first as worker, then a sexual presence, a warrior, and, finally, sleeping beauty.

	Few surprises in an impressively streamlined 'Alien'
		The story follows seven crewmates aboard the commercial towing spaceship Nostromo, after they are forced to touch down on a planetoid and investigate a distress signal.
		PRODUCTION HOLDS UP Although the spaceship models look like they were patched together with Super Glue in your brother's basement, the majority of the 24-year-old movie holds up well.
		Even with its horrifying villain and scenes of bloody excess, "Alien" endures as a superior piece of filmmaking, with a pace that's like watching an art film when compared to the over-the-top space operas in recent years.
