a very good beginning...

Rating: 4/10 (4 March 2001)

(may contain spoilers) This movie should not have been considered a sequel, yet the producers obviously felt that without the presence of Ms. Weaver the movie would not succeed. In reality, the movie would have been a lot better without the strained presence of a cloned, hybrid, cynical Ripley.

If the movie had just focused on Ms. Ryders character, and would have developed plot that focused on breeding the aliens for "biological" weapons perhaps it would have been a better film.
