A classic

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2005)

This film is an absolutely spectacular movie. Many see this as the poorest of the alien saga but i think its one of the best. A spectacular story bringing back a very claustrophobic feel the original had. David Fincher directed this perfectly and if you have seen the 1991 assembly-cut on the quadrilogy it really opens up the plot into more detail an helps you understand what happens. This is a brilliant film underrated by most. Ripleys death scene at the end was poor how could she hold the thing after its just bust through her ribs and out her stomach????? Interesting how all of the criminals seem to be English well stereo-type English anyway. David Finchers direction is superb. The dark, evil tone of the film was set perfectly by him. This film is a very underrated piece of cinema. The acting was very strong as was the soundtrack. Something about this film just set it out from the rest. All in all a superb film and the second best in the Alien franchise. Go back out and give it a watch!
