ALIENS: It felt like 57 years watching it.

Rating: Null/10 (19 February 2004)

Although this movie has a few virtues, its length not being one of them; I found it far to long and over-blown for a science-fiction thriller. It is slow getting started and drags on once it does. The little girl did nothing to enhance the predictable storyline with her shallow and annoying performance and the marines are more like gangsters than soldiers. Weaver is not bad but she sleepwalks through a few of her scenes. It is a movie far too typical of today's science-fiction flicks of boring special effects and no real storyline to keep one wondering. I still like to watch it, as I own the the "Legacy" collection but it will never be destined to be a favorite of mine.
