Ripley continues to be stalked by a savage alien, after her escape pod crashes on a prison planet.
Although it has a good premise, all the necessary ingredients and some
great visual moments, this movie is from beginning to start incoherent,
basically a total mess.
On re-watching: the longer so-called
Assembly Cut is a major improvement and offers a more stringent
narrative than the original theatrical release.
Halliwell (no star): "Grim, grey sequel that struggles, and fails, to add something new to the now familiar story."
Maltin**: "More-of-the-same sequel...Good performances, some scares, but
a definite feeling of deja vu hangs over the proceedings."
