Weaver wows here

Rating: 8/10 (6 November 2000)

Let me say first that I haven't seen the second or third installments of this series, although I am vaguely aware of the plot elements I have missed. I am really impressed with Sigourney Weaver's performance here. Of course she is usually very good. I am a fan of Winona Ryder, but she seems a bit out of place here. This film hits the buttons it reaches for most of the time. It is a really good Sci-fi/horror flick. Lots of good production value, futuristic sets, good underwater sequence, and of course good, evil, revolting alien effects.
