Get away from her, you bitch.
Ellen Ripley awakes after her encounter with a deadly alien life form that murdered her fellow crewmen to discover that 50 years have passed. Her child is gone and she has nowhere to return to. Soon, she learns of an extermination mission to destroy a colony of the same alien creatures that killed her crew and she is asked to join as a consultant. The marines sent in are well trained but are completely unprepared for the true danger they are about to face. Soon new, greater horrors than they could possibly imagine begin to emerge and what began as a search and destroy mission turns into a retreat, with little hope of success.
Shit Just Got Real! – Things get very bad, very fast, but shit gets double real when we see the xenomorph queen.
Pure Adrenaline Percentage –75% Though it starts up with the alien-like tension, it becomes a grand guignol of an action war movie. Say what you will about James Cameron as a writer, as a direction of action, he is amazing.
AAAAAAAAND ACTION!I wanted to go with a less obvious scene, but you can’t beat iconography.
