Ryder and Weaver - WOW!

Rating: 7/10 (23 January 2004)

After the appalling debacle of Alien3 I REALLY wasn't looking forward to this film but in the end I was very pleasantly surprised! The introduction of the smugglers was a welcome departure, and diffusing Ripley to the role of anti-heroine was another stroke of genius. A very visual film which boded well for the future development of the franchise. Whether or not Ryder and Weaver can be enticed back to the world of Aliens is another matter of course
