After the disappointment of 'Alien 3', it's nice to see the series return to the thrill and spills and non-stop violence that made the first two in the series so memorable.
Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is cloned (after she died in the last film) and is now stronger and meaner than ever, since she's had alien DNA inplanted into her make-up.
So she leads a new crew (including Wynona Ryder and HSF regular Brad Dourif) to Space Station Auriga 200 to do battle with the vicious E.T.s. There's so real grotesque creations here, and the wierdest mother/son relationship you'll ever see.
There's no niceties on display here, and an underwater sequence is a real high-point. A good edition to one of the most successful sci-fi francises ever.
