Ripley thought she wiped them out, but she was wrong...

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 1999)

Ripley in my opinion is the greatest female action hero around. Everything from fighting onboard a huge M-Class Star-freighter to slaughtering a bunch of bugs on a colony and even blowing the Queen Alien out an airlock, Ripley really knows how to be in charge and take action against threats! Anyway, I think this film deserves more credit than it actually got. The low and eerie music was okay, the characters and storyline rocked, and the action was good. The only thing I didn't like about this movie was that there wasn't any guns or weapons. But after all, Ripley supposedly crashes on a prison planet with no weapons or modern technology of any kind. That pretty much bites when fighting these things. With the new special effects technology, the alien was very well designed and laid out.
Not to mention the action in this film was pretty well acted out when everyone was supposed to be fighting. I think the characters did very well fighting against a nasty predator like that with no guns. David Fincher did a great directing job on this film (just like he did on all his other films). The film itself keeps you enthralled from the start to the middle and finally to its surprising climax. I mean who would think that the main character himself or herself would perish in the end like that. I thought that was pretty lame but the story had to come to a close sometime I guess. In the story line, Ripley was basically saving the world by jumping into that furnace because she found out she had a Queen embryo inside of her and she knew that if that thing got off the planet, it would kill everything. But overall, this film really did it for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
