DVD Review: The Alien Quadrilogy (3540 words) |
 | The original Alien, made in 1979 by Ridley Scott, was a brilliant technological upgrade of a monster movie, a startlingly intense hybrid of horror and science fiction, built upon a solid foundation of character development and a realistically imagined future. |
| James Cameron's ultra-exciting 1986 Aliens, in which a unit of Marines is sent to eradicate the aliens from an isolated human settlement, was an inspired advancement of the concepts presented in the first film. |
| Weaver's character is presented as a super-powerful clone of the original, a mixture of alien DNA and her own, and tries to assist those who want to escape from the clutches of the aliens on a large spaceship where scientists have been attempting to breed and tame them. |
