Unsurpassable!

Rating: 9/10 (28 February 1999)

In my all-time, top 5, this film is 1 or 2. Not just because I love sci-fi, but because it's a damn good film. The special effects and technology are plausible, the acting memorable, the monsters terrible, and the score sensational. It's more than a sequel - it stands on its own. Everything works - the cast, the effects, the suspense, the music. Chalk another one up to James Cameron.
Any self-respecting sci-fi fan should know at least a couple of lines from this film, such as Ripley's "they can bill me" or Hudson's "game over man, game over".
If you haven't seen this film, make sure it's the next one you get out on video, preferably the director's cut.
9.9 out of 10
