It's insane that at no point in this movie does Sean Connery say "welcome to the rock."

Alien's shaggy industrial dystopian capitalist cousin, without aliens.

Just another day as the only clean cop on a WeylandYutani mining station. Terrific atmosphere and space noir grit. Perfect to double feature with Alien since it's visually and tonally dead on.

This film deserved to be a cult hit because this is a masterpiece.
This has to be one of the best Science Fiction films I’ve ever seen it is a beautiful film, with an interesting story, a great cast, it has everything you’d want in a Sci-Fi movie but nobody ever talks about it. It’s so unfortunate because this is now one of my favourite films of all time.
