My local AMC had this back in theater for the 45th anniversary and as I wasn’t even alive yet when it was originally in theaters I figured I’d give it a go and while I’ve seen the movie about 20 times, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I always forget how many times the dang cat almost get eaten or is used as bait by either the xenomorph or by the crew. Something that was super interesting was that before the film started there was a brief interview of director Ridley Scott by director Fede Alvarez who has directed the most recent entry in the franchise named “Alien: Romulus”. It could have been longer and it would have been nicer to have some real background about the original film, but I’ll take what I can get.
