My Review

Rating: 8/10 (3 August 2008)

200 years after Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) killed herself in order to save mankind from the queen alien that was growing inside her, scientists have brought her back - as a clone, and also cloned the alien inside her. They extract the alien and keep it safe, and Ripley wakes up with superior knowledge as to what has happened to her, and an uncanny ability - her blood is acidic, as is the alien's blood.
A gang of roughs including Call (Winona Ryder) arrive on the ship to assist in an illegal transaction for the alien, when the alien (and some of her offspring) escape. Now Ripley must once again battle the aliens that already took her life once.
Sure, it's not even close to being as good as "Alien" or "Aliens," but when you stack it up against the recent "AvP" series, it looks like cinematic genius. Weaver rocked it once again as Ripley, and it's really not a true "Alien" movie without her.
