The best movie in the Alien series thus far

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2007)

This film, was EXCELLENT. If you have seen Alien3 or Alien 4 (Resurrection), and didn't like them, you have to see this one. By far the best one in the series. I have watched this film over and over again and I never get tired of it. Sigourney Weaver reprises her role and she downright kicks butt.
*Spoilers below* Personally, I wouldn't want to go back to LP-426 and face those creatures again, but that would make for a dull movie with a mere cameo of Sigourney Weaver just for plot. She does an excellent job.
The one thing I would change if I could would be to only off some of the lesser known marines when they battle in the hive, saving all the ones you know by name until later. But it is effective, you get attached to some of them, and watch them all die in an instant.
Now why the aliens would choose the atmosphere processor for the hive I have no idea. Since it was automated, there should be very few people there. I would think they would create the nest in a basement of the living complex somewhere.
And, when an alien kills the pilot of the first drop ship, why on earth did they set down on the surface. Especially with the ramp open! They should have dropped the APC and went back to the Sulaco. Still, a good movie, I HIGHLY recommend it.
