Laudable sequel is replete with requisite intensity and slime

Rating: 8/10 (14 January 2001)

James Cameron has written and directed a sequel quite worthy of all the praise it has received. The film is replete with intense action sequences, very good to excellent acting by the entire cast (Weaver and Henriksen are stand-outs), slimy characters, and aliens, too. Particularly effective in terms of sound are the quiet sets in which only a pulsing meter may be heard. 8/10
