it couldn not . from the cut dialogue to the super special effect this film be a joy to behold throughout . the immediate feel for the bitterness of the antarctic and the affinity for the character that be build up at the base level before the real action heat up and the cunning finale combine to make this one of the most memorable and enjoyable film around . up against a long list of film that have attempt to exploit the theme of visitor from another planet and the thing come out on top and laugh . who can forget the perfectly time dialogue and the chill special effect . special effect that be a lot more impressive than the computer generate image that we get to see today . i for one find some of the most enjoyable aspect of the film to be the way that we be introduce slowly to each member of the crew and and the way that they all have some distinctive character trait . this wasn not just a senseless bloodbath come slasher horror flick . this film have feeling . emotion . i truly can not recommend this film highly enough . i have yet to see anything in it class that come anywhere near to match and let alone bettering and the near perfect act and time utilised in this cunning polymesmeric feat of cinema .
