A hell of a lot better than Alien 3 but worse than Aliens...

Rating: 7/10 (11 April 1999)

I actually really liked this film. OK, so Ripley's characterisation was a bit off and the first half an hour was boring, but once it got going the action was fast and intense and the script was pretty good. It also has the most original plot of the series (apart from 1, of course.) The ending could have been better - although it was quite exciting, I'm getting bored of seeing Aliens being sucked out into space. Still, overall it was a very good film and I'd recommend that you at least rent it, if not buy it.
