Great action, tense scenes, but some logic missing

Rating: Null/10 (18 June 1999)

I could tell you all the great things I like about this movie, which there are many. The one main thing that always troubles me is that the end of the movie is written illogically just to keep it going. My point: Ripley goes back to rescue the lone survivor - a little girl. She kills a few aliens and then frees the girl. As Ripley's about to leave she notices she's right next to the alien nursery and that a giant queen alien is suspended from the ceiling. Meanwhile the damaged nuclear reactor is to explode in a few minutes and destroy everything in miles. Instead of just leaving or killing the main threat - the queen - Ripley fires all her ammo and grenades at the eggs. The queen then chases her and the battle resumes on the ship - duh, duh, duh ...
