200 years after her death, Ellen Ripley is revived as a powerful
human/Alien hybrid clone who must continue her war against the Aliens.
Too ambitious for its own good this installment of the Aliens series is
quite messy, but has some moments, especially concerning the visuals.
On renewed viewing I need to correct my initial rating: this is actually
an imaginative and at times quite disturbing new take on the Alien saga
and, compared to the last installment, the plot is quite coherent.
On re-watching: meanwhile I do quite enjoy this version; it does have some intense moments.
Halliwell*: "Stylish, occasionally impressive movie that all too soon settles into familiar routine."
Maltin**: "Clumsy sequel with crummy logic, far too many wisecracks; a few good action scenes, but scrictly for series fans."
