Viewing Notes
First time viewing on the big screen. Amazing how well paced it is for a “slow burn” flick. Most of the movie moves so slowly yet swiftly. If that makes sense. I notice something new each time I view the movie. Little things like why Jones doesn’t get blown out the air hatch in the end. And Jones first appearance in the movie is during the chestburster sequence. Anyway, I love this movie. Top ten for me.
