actually it was the success of star wars that alerted studio heads to the notion that there was a sizable film audience for science fiction, so this movie with its huge effects budget was actually a product of bandwagoning. alien, battlestar galactica... i think they even made a buck rogers, lol.
alien the cream of the crop of course. i mean the original. not a huge fan of the sequels... except for the prison planet one.
