I'm speechless!

Rating: Null/10 (24 September 1998)

I can't believe the amount of abuse this film receives. I adore this film, it's my favourite of the series. Never before has Ripley had to confront her worst fear in such a way. The sheer terror on her face in the scene where the Alien come right up close to her is almost disturbingly terrifying. The drama in the film is amazing, the cast brilliant, the alien looks better than ever, and aside from a few bad special effects, I think of this as the perfect film. The ending is beyond compare, no film has ever left me so sad to see a character die. The music is excellent, and creates the perfect atmosphere and it amount of subtext is so deep, it reaches beyond say that of even Blade Runner. I love this film, I cannot praise it enough, and I'd have to say it's my favourite film of all time!
