So drippy and slippery you'll feel that you're hiding in Kevin Costner's nasal passages during the filming of "Waterworld."
Read the full reviewRecycles the great surprises that made the first movie so powerful. And most significantly, it makes a big hoot of the whole business.
Read the full reviewTauntingly flirtatious scenes between Ms. Ryder and Ms. Weaver give this film a sexual boldness that the others' action-adventure spirit lacked.
Read the full reviewPerfectly in keeping with a series that began by simply putting a monster on a spaceship, then gave itself the creative freedom to explore what that monster and that spaceship really meant. [Quadrilogy]
Read the full reviewHas a bold, inventive style that occasionally compensates for story weaknesses. And, admittedly, there's a certain visceral appeal to the action sequences.
Read the full reviewEven with her stinko lines, Weaver has never been as flabbergastingly gorgeous and charismatic. She's tall and lean and meteor-hard, and you can almost believe there's really acid in her blood, and that no alien in its right mind would mess with her.
Read the full reviewAs a series of action set pieces, the movie is frequently gripping and always highly watchable. However, when the movie strays into weirder territory --- where, one feels, Jeunet's heart really lies --- there's a growing feeling of inadequacy.
Read the full reviewThe cluttered, surreal, claustrophobic sets and gooey alien creatures look intriguing, sometimes shocking. But the story tries so hard to be imaginative that it congeals and sinks like lead.
Read the full reviewIt's a nine days' wonder, a geek show designed to win a weekend or two at the box office and then fade from memory.

THANK YOU!!!!
"This makes up for the bad 3rd movie. Great way to bring back Ripley. Has great effects and style.Better than ending the trillogy with the 3rd.Only an Alien fan (like me) can appreciate a sequel like this. Not Pointless at all."
Pointless At The Start
"I was really disappointed by this movie, it's got to be the most pointless sequel ever, I don't know about you guys but I don't see how you can resurrect Ripley when she died in the steel or what ever that substance was, it would definitely burn her till she was nothing, that's why I found it pointless, and aside from that the movie is pretty weak anyway."
Garbage
"Lets just say james Cameron and ridley scott should have done the last two movies"
The Best Alien Yet!
"The acting was truely amazing. Sigourney and Winona played the parts like they were ment to be played. It was also so well thought out. It was sad, scary, and fun all at the same time."
Pathetic!!!!!!
"This film ruined everything about alien & aliens. It is the worst excuse of a movie..and the worst of any ever made."
decent
"This movie was interesting. It was a hit or miss type. Some parts of it were awesome, but other parts just weren't needed. The story was okay (with some very odd and gory scenes). The special effects were top notch, though, and the acting by Weaver was superb. This movie also scared me very much (especially at the end with that human/alien hybrid). In the end, I thought it didn't even come close to the quality of the first two, but it's good for Alien fans, and is much better than the third installment."
