After I saw Alien, I recently watched the sequel which it was directed by James Cameron (The Terminator, Titanic, True Lies, T2 Judgment day, Avatar, The Abyss).
It stars Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, Carrie Henn, Lance Henriksen, William Hope, Bill Paxton, etc.
Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), the sole survivor of the alien attack on the mining ship Nostromo, awakens half a century later when she is found by a salvage ship. The welcome given to her by the "Company" officials is far from warm, since they refuse to believe her discovery of alien existence and strip her off her flight officer's license. Ripley also discovers, much to her horror, that the planet LV-426 where her crew had encountered an alien species for the first time, is now colonized by the company. But when all contact from the planet is lost Ripley is called back into action again as an adviser to a team of tough space marines with lots of firepower. To get rid of her recurrent nightmares about the alien creature, Ripley prepares for a final battle with the monsters - and this time, there are hundreds of them out there.
The first movie had more suspense and eerie feeling, but this one will put you on the edge of your seat.
Aliens gets 10 stars.
