MOVIE REVIEW
For two movies, people sat on the edge of their seats as Ripley fought the most horrifying aliens ever created, waiting for her to reach home and be free of the menaces that sought to destroy her. In Alien, she single-handedly destroyed the sole alien that had killed her crew. It was ludicrous that she would return to fight in Aliens, but the result was more than satisfying. Alien 3 came next, and everything that had made the Alien franchise so excellent was destroyed. Ripley died, Newt died, and the formula was as unoriginal as they get. Full movie review »
