“Starts with the rescue of Sigourney Weaver, who, you may recall, lost the rest of the crew of her spaceship to murderous monsters in ALIEN. She has spent the ensuing 57 years loitering unconsciously in space, and no sooner does she get back to civilization, as it were, than off she goes again with a band of rough-looking, rough-talking, cannon-toting marines, of both sexes, to try to discover what happened to a colony of humans out there somewhere. Anybody who saw ALIEN can guess what has happened. The question is whether it will happen to Miss Weaver, the marines and a little girl.” – The New York Times
