From horror to action

Rating: 7/10 (12 January 2003)

This movie appealed to a lot more people than the original Alien for some reason. Personally, I love the first one the most. The second seems to attract more people because the number of aliens is quite large, not to mention the queen and her lair is introduced. Weaver plays the story right, but the marines really seem to dumb-down the movie. This would be a good movie to watch in the dark and turn up the stereo. It's very intense, but lacks a true horrifying reality.
