The planet from Alien (1979) has been colonized, but contact is lost so a rescue team with impressive firepower is sent to investigate.
Sensible sequel to a sci-fi classic and upping the ante on suspense and action, although there are some silly moments (alien mother riding the elevator).
Halliwell*: "Frightening but mechanical sequel with none of the half-assed poetry of the original."
Maltin***1/2: "Intense, exciting sequel directed by Cameron the same way he did THE TERMINATOR - once it gets going there's just no letup! Weaver is sensational in compelling leading role."
