Good Action + Good Acting + Equality = Great movie

Rating: 9/10 (25 September 1998)

I have rarely seen an action movie where the women are truly equal to the men. This movie is it. There are a few snide comments from the marines to Ripley, but they are meant to make fun of her because she is a civilian, not because she is a woman. If you like good effects with good science and strong characters, see this movie. I have seen it many times and I own it on video. When it was on TV, nine minutes were ADDED to the movie (and as far as I can tell, only some harsh language was removed), and if that version ever comes out on video, I'll have to buy that one, too.
