Sequels don't always suck.

Rating: Null/10 (30 November 2002)

After the classic that is Alien, you could only expect it to be a matter of time before someone comes along and ruins the best, most successful alien EVER with a poor excuse of a film technically known as a sequel. However life is a fickle thing, and Cameron came along with a film that not only was good, it could be said to be better than the original.
The story at a first glance seems a bit poor to say the least. Ripley is found some 50 years after the last film, tells her story which nobody believes and the inevitable happens, the planet she was on some 50 years ago has ceased to make contact with humanity (coincidence ?)
However its the introduction of the gung-ho marines (and are picture perfect of modern day Americans), who are sent to see why theres no contact. Cue the beginning of a rollercoaster ride of a film.
The action in alien is brilliant, flying at you at neck breaking speed, this film has you at the edge of your seat. Watch it, love it, enjoy it as theres not too many quite like it that come out these days.
