Much better than it's Halloween counterpart

Rating: Null/10 (12 August 2002)

I think I like this movie more than the original Alien. It was smart. It was up-to-date. It was interesting, and lacking of dull, sluggish moments that other Alien films have had. The method behind re-incarnating Ellen Ripley is much more acceptable than other "resurrections" in the past. Namely, my Halloween reference, of which the latest installment is just horrible and stupid. Unlike the previous "definitive" Alien movies, there is ample room for this saga to continue. Though, let's hope it is not as choppy and random as some other un-mentioned movie series. All in all, a great movie. Don't bother watching all of the Aliens for clues, plots, and stories. This one stands all on its own.
