"ALIENS" is the second chapter of the 'ALIEN' saga. It is by far
the most
likeable movie in the series because of its action packed elements, great story-line,
and cast.
"ALIENS" opens with the 'Narcissus' escape shuttle drifting towards a space
station orbiting Earth. A salvage team discovers Ripley in her cryo-unit and sends her
back to Earth for recovery. Once there, Ripley is befriended by Burke-the 'Company Man'.
Burke tells Ripley that she had been drifting in the escape shuttle for 57 years, and
everyone and everything that she had ever loved is gone. Ripley then goes to a court
hearing over the matter of her previous experience. Nobody believes what happened to her
until Burke and a Lieutenant from the Colonial Marine Core show up to her door and explain
to her that all contact with the colonists on the planet where her nightmare began, is
lost. Troubled by her nightmares of the past, she decides to take an offered job as a
consultant on the excursion to the 'alien' planet to discover what happened to the
colonists. She sets out with a select group of marines down to the 'alien' planet to find
that colonists are no where to be seen, and that the colony has been completely wrecked.
Only when the marines encounter the 'aliens' for the first time to they cease their
skeptic thoughts. After a first attack on the marines, their number is cut in half, and
the dropship-their hope to flee the desolate 'alien' planet is lost. The marines then seal
themselves up in the building barricading all entrances. The marines decide that the only
way they will make it out of there alive is if they auto-pilot the other dropship from the
'Sulaco'. Later on the 'aliens' make a surprise attack on the marines where they least
expect it-from above. More marines die, and Newt-the little girl that Ripley seems to have
a mother-daughter type relationship with is lost. Ripley and the remaining marine
survivor, Hicks then manage to make it outside where Bishop is awaiting them with the
dropship. Instead of leaving, Ripley gets armed up to the teeth and searches for Newt. She
finds her alright-right in the middle of the 'alien' queen's chamber! Ripley manages I
don't really want to spoil it any more even though I already did in the pictures section. For a
