The action sci-fi adventure
sequel to Alien is about
Ripley’s return, after being in stasis for fifty seven years, to the planet on
which she encountered the deadly alien species that killed everyone else in her
crew. Only this time, it has been colonized by miners who are in grave danger
and have lost contact. Ripley joins a group of marines with the mission of
rescuing any survivors.
The film is written and directed
by James Cameron (following
up his breakthrough hit The
Terminator), who brought a lot more of an action-film vibe to it, compared
to Alien. It features a score from James
Horner, cinematography from Adrian
Biddle and production design from Peter Lamont.
It stars Sigourney Weaver, with Carrie Henn (they mostly come at
night… mostly), Michael Biehn,
Paul Reiser, Lance Henriksen, Bill Paxton (That’s it man, game
over man, game over! What the fuck are we gonna do now?), and Jenette Goldstein in support.
While Ridley Scott’s Alien is more of
a hard sci-fi thriller/horror film, Aliens is much more a fun and entertaining (and
personally I like it more). It is a must-see for fans of sci-fi action movies,
as this is one of the best (try seeing the director’s cut).
