Well Done (the Movie not the Meat Temperature)

Rating: 9/10 (27 October 2003)

I just saw this last night for th first time on AMC. It was the best of the series since "Alien". The story was intriging with had plenty of plot twists. The characters were well developed. The buff Ripley clone was a lot of fun. That is my kind of girl. Ms. Weaver really worked on this part. The basketball scene was a hoot. The scene of the Queen carrying Ripley was very touching prompting my wife to remark, "See, Aliens do care". The bad humans were real evil and the pirates really scuzzy. What more could one want? I really enjoyed the Aliens swimming in the flooded basement that will keep me out of pools and ponds for some time. Do you think they came from a watery planet? This might explain their slimmy exteriors. The ending was pleasent. Better writing than the previous two Alien films.
