More aliens: more fun, more violence, more Ripley!

Rating: Null/10 (30 June 2000)

If this would have been the last alien movie, it would be the bÃ©st! And actually, it still is. What a great sequel! Now you just don't face an adult alien, there's also the mean Queen. And who said that she isn't a good mother? The movie starts with a confused Ripley, just woken up from a fifty year long cryogen sleep. A money-grubbing business man called Carter J. Burke tells her that they've lost contact with one of their colonies. He asks Ripley's help to distinguish the alien race that has possible taken over the colony. At first, she refuses to, because these aliens have caused more than enough trouble to her. But finally - supported by the best team of the Marine Corps - they go to LV-426 to find out what's really going on. Soon Ripley finds out that our friend Burke only wants to bring the aliens to earth, as he thinks they're the perfect bio weapon. What happens next, is so predictable. It's funny, violent but it is OK. Ripley wins the battle and escapes from the base. She takes what's left from Bisschop and the little Newt with her in a shuttle. I love it, no matter how many Alien movies would follow this one. Ok, Resurrection is the next best Alien movie. But remember: Aliens rules!
