If its war you want, you will get it

Rating: 9/10 (6 April 2020)

Taking the original alien story forward by adding tons of action might not have been the best way for the series moving forward but this entry is good. It is quite similar to other 80s movies at the time drawing heavy inspiration from the veitnam war. With biggest different being with the female lead. There might be lots of macho army guys in this movie but none are as good as Ripley. The plot in this movie works with a few twists and turns that original didn't have. You get great effects and CGI the same as the first movie. The best part about this movie is you get to see alot more of the 'alien' universe. I would recommend watching the extended addition and there is some extra footage that is worth watching. If you want that classic Sci-fi horror blend that is now action heavy, you will enjoy this.
