A perfect sequel to the classic 'Alien'

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 1999)

Unfortunately, I was too young to see this movie at the cinema when it first released, instead I had to make do with a home viewing on video. Despite the lack of the big screen this film still had a huge impact on me. Quite simply this is one of the best Science Fiction films ever made, and in my opinion, Mr. Cameron's finest work to date.
Right from the outset everything about the movie feels 'right'. The effects are excellent, and for the most part stand up well to today's standards. The story is engrossing, the characters are interesting and very well developed, plus the film is perfectly paced. There are also some cool one-liners (mainly from Hudson), and the leading lady is superb as the intrepid Ripley.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes intelligent and imaginative film- making. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and is totally convincing. This is an all-time classic: don't miss it!
