Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2011)

I thoroughly enjoyed the first alien film but this one by far exceeds the first. The story is excellent and well thought through, Sigourney weaver is excellent as 'Ripley' yet again and the introduction of the other characters fully gains your attention. The action and special effects were incredible, the aliens looked real compared even to some films now. Overall the progression from the first film is perfect. the split between suspense and action is spot on. Its hard to find ways to explain how much i love this film, but simply there was nothing i could find bad to say about the film, even the lesser characters were interesting and had meaning. Michael Biehn as 'Hicks' was a great display of acting and the relationship with 'Ripley' was enthralling. Finally some great scenes in the film for me was: the use of the sentry guns, the facehuggers attacking Ripley and noot, the final fight between Ripley and the queen alien but my favourite was the scene where the marines first fight the aliens. The scene has great suspense the use of the camera throughout the scene was great. James Cameron best director for me.
