Alien Movement

Having spent time indulging in the Blu-Ray of the Alien from Quadrilogy...I was struck by the grace of the Alien's movement. When I watch the Lambert/Parker scene the Alien moves with such grace and light steps. It strikes me as almost looks fairy or ballet like. Now, look at how the alien moves in the subsequent movies, it jumps around like a Monkey. It struk me the the actor in Alien moved with Bogeyman poise and an inevitablility of death. The Alien is presented in such dfferent ways and poses like in the tunnel, the lifeboat etc. If you get the chance check out the rehersal film of the actor walking the corrdors of the Nostromo in just the head. It is chilling. Cameron moved the Alien being as from something comepllety unknown and unpreditcable to being almost insect / primate movement like which I find unfirutnate and not imaginative at all.
