True to the Aliens series.

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 1999)

According to the vote histories of the Aliens series, this ranks well below the first two movies, Alien, and Aliens. I truly think of this fourth movie as an equal. You learn new things about the Aliens. New twists are brought to the plot. Ripley's cloned character, is so tough and interesting.
There is so much humor, and so much depth in the writing, that I feel a lot of people have missed it due to the incredible action. Watch it again, imagine how you would feel as a clone, or as one of the recipients, or as a feeling synthetic. There IS great depth to the characters. Don't miss that. As for the plot, there are definitely enough twists to keep it going.
And special effects? Incredible. A few weaknesses here and there. But two weak ones, out of 500, isn't bad.
Don't miss this Movie.
