On par with the first

Rating: 9/10 (3 February 2006)

A sequel that rivals the original, while having a completely different feel to it. The first one was horror, this one is pure action. Sigourney Weaver plays the part perfectly. I have to admit that this seems like an odd movie for Paul Reiser to be in, but he plays it straight enough to not be annoying. And it's always fun to go back and watch young actors as they're coming up (Mark Rolston and Bill Paxton).
If there is something that does bother me, it's that the vehicles look like they're from a James Cameron film. He's really re-used some concepts in his early work. Overall, a very solid film. I like the fact that the clothing is realistic, not fanciful (see Logan's Run or Star Trek).
In my opinion, the 2nd best sci fi series (behind Star Wars).
