Product Description

James Cameron's sequel to the highly successful 'Alien'. Officer Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), the sole survivor of the alien attack on the 'Nostromo', awakes after 57 years in suspended animation when she is picked up by a salvage ship. She is put to work by the Company, but is horrified to discover that the planet where her ship picked up the original alien has now been colonized. When contact with the colony is lost, the Company send Ripley on an investigative mission with a team of hardened Space Marines.

Product Description

Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) the sole survivor from the original ALIEN is awakened after 57 years of drifting through space her stories disbelieved by company executives who tell her that the aliens planet is now inhabited and colonised. When contact is suddenly lost with the colonists Ripley returns to the planet with a squad of marines an android (Lance Henriksen) and a company executive (Paul Reiser). Once on the planet no survivors can be found except for Newt a little girl who awakens motherly instincts in Ripley just in time for the acid-blooded aliens to attack in what quickly becomes a one-sided battle for sheer survival. Considered by many to be the best of the series ALIENS is a fast-paced high-intensity thrill ride that set a new standard for action films and cemented director James Camerons status as one of Hollywoods leading directors following the success of THE TERMINATOR. Weaver received an Academy Award nomination and became a feminist hero for her strong sensitive performance as the survivor Ripley while co-stars Reiser Henriksen and Bill Paxton all give career-making performances in this landmark sci-fi extravaganza.

5.0 out of 5 stars this time its war; best of the series 7 Feb 2008
By Alister King
how do you possibly follow the awesome space opera that ridley scott gifted to us in 79? leave it a few years and then get cameron to gove us not 1 but bloody scores of em. lob in a troop of crack space marines and a bit of corporate conspracy and you have a compelling mix.

whether its the bonding taking place on the spaceship before hand, the drop ship sequence, the initial investigation & the discovery of newt, the agonising progress towards the inevitable carnage, the response and getaway or the stunning climax, its all just so brilliant.

stands up to scores of repeated viewings and the addition of the deleted scenes makes it even better - how could you possibly leave out an invention as awesome as sentry guns?

5.0 out of 5 stars ORIGINAL AND RARE THEATRICAL VERSION at 137 mins of full thrills 14 April 2011
By championcat
Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the true and original Theatrical Release version shown in cinemas during 1987. Its rare and difficult to get hold of. The generic grass special edition with extended scenes left nothing to the imagination and its a pity this is the common version now. This original version is best because its got no fat. its lean masterpiece. Crafted to full tension, story and action. Use your imagination, forget all the special editions and add ons and what you get is geat personal reward in thrills, fear and excellent story telling. and what a bargain!
