A horror science fiction action movie so good it almost makes you uncomfortable to watch.

Rating: 9/10 (11 August 2004)

I saw this one in the theaters as a kid with my mom. I was only eleven, but I really liked the looks of this one from the previews, besides I had an alien toy from the original "Alien" movie so I always liked the way it looked. It was creepy and seeing a whole mess of aliens vs marines was to much for me to pass up. My mom took me because she liked the first one too and we had a good time. Of its faults its main one is not really a fault. That is that the movie puts you the viewer in with these people who are in a very dire situation. It makes you nervous that they may not make it out alive and there are very much doubts to whether they will survive the ordeal. No matter how many times I see it I feel this way. Still though what you came to see is also present...future army guys (the marines) going against an army of aliens. Still the movie builds up rather slowly at first, this lures you into the world of the alien, then it rockets you in with a fire fight where you see very little of the aliens, then finally there is an all out assault. I will not say much about this assault, but to say the marines do not do to well. After this Ripley (Weaver) must brave the hoard of aliens alone in an attempt to rescue a little girl all the while a reactor on this planet is about to blow the place sky high. With this alien movie you are in for a wild ride.
