Star Performance
The acting is ok and some of the set pieces are unnerving. Everyone’s performance is satisfactory but Lexy Kolker stands out with her exceptional and outstanding performance. Also, Emile Hirsch’s role is convincing. The production design is incredible; it has an epic sense of scale that is well-realized, and from the backgrounds to the practical effects, they are all strikingly palpable.
Analysis
This movie does not give you time to think, edge of the seat sequences, that culminates and are well edited, happening one after the other on a consecutive fast-paced effect. Ellen Ripley is an inspirational character, when it comes to transition of a person who is scarred and scared to death of her past nightmare, but is willing to go to any extremes to save a life, under any circumstances. This is easily one of the greatest movies of all time, alongside its nerve-wracking predecessor. Action, sci-fi, dark poetic visuals, characters, music, it’s all here. Altogether, The film has a rollercoaster ride of violence, this movie won't be to everyone's taste but if you like thought provoking, atmospheric sci fi based horror/thrillers it's worth checking out.
