Sci-fi movie with aliens with intelligent, fun and action-packed storylines

When it comes to aliens in movies, those stories of extraterrestrial invasions like “War of the Worlds” or “Independence Day” come to mind, where these beings come to fight with the US military, and that’s it. However, science fiction films with aliens aren’t just that, because they also have clever storylines, which don’t stop being fun.

Alien

The best example of this is’Alien’, a science fiction horror movie directed by Ridley Scott, released in 1982, and starring Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley, who, along with the crew of the space truck Nostromo, receives a plea for help on a strange planet. Things don’t seem to be going well, because a terrifying passenger has sneaked onto the ship. Available on Star +.
