Everything we loved about the original, multiplied by 1,000!!!

Rating: 10/10 (25 February 2000)

An adrenaline rush from start to finish! More xenomorphs, more firepower, more Ripley, more chest-bursting-flamethrowing-heartpounding-action, why oh why couldn't the following two films have done the same? The many sub-plots and relationships between characters, Ripley & Burke, Ripley & Hicks, Ripley & Bishop, the colonists, Gorman and Vasquez etc.. were all interwoven perfectly and dissolved at the right moments when surviving the terror became of paramount importance! Scary, exciting, funny, superb plot, guns, violence, human drama, and it expands on the original without taking too much away - everything you want from a sci-fi sequel!!!
