I LOVE when people get mad at someone for not loving a movie the way they loved it. They are the same people that get mad when they are having a beer and you decide not to.

SCI-FI is for a select few either you love it or not. Rarely does a Sci-Fi movie evoke excitement to non-sci-fi folks.

Like some folks love Star Trek; Battleship Galactica; Firefly; Dr. Who; etc... I have honestly tried to watch all of those and to me they are blah.

It takes a movie like Star Wars in order to appeal to the masses. Yes Alien was very popular but most people will remember it for the alien shooting out of the guy's gut; Weaver's skimpy underwear; Ash being a robot and the ending. They won't recall they were on the Nostromo that they went to investigate a ship on moon LV-223 etc. Only a true Sci Fi nerd would remember all the details.
