When a series of strange and deadly events occur shortly after her arrival, she realizes that she too has unwittingly brought along another unwelcome visitor. Consequently, Ripley et al crash land on Fiorina 161, a maximum security prison. Unfortunately - and er, somehow - an alien facehugger made it aboard the Conestoga-class troop transport ship, causing an electrical fire the automatic emergency escape procedures to activate. Synopsis: Written as a direct successor to the epic sequel "Aliens," this picks up the story of the USS Sulaco survivors, Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), Hicks (Michael Biehn), Bishop (Lance Henriksen) and Newt (Carrie Henn).
The confined setting of the double-Y chromosome prison facility sets up some impressive chase sequences (Image credit: 20th Century Fox) Stellar performances from Haley Joel Osment, Jude Law and Frances O'Connor carry the movie as far as it can go. That said, as a Saturday afternoon matinee, you could do a lot worse. Thankfully, this is much more than just a glorified interpretation of "Pinocchio" however, the pacing suffers from the two director's different styles, especially towards the end, which is a shame, as the story suffers and it drives a wedge between you and the cinematic experience, so characters you were once heavily invested in, no longer really seem to matter. Why you should watch: Originally, this movie started out as a Stanley Kubrick project, before Steven Spielberg took over and there's evidence of both film maker's styles here.
Everything is going swimmingly until her real son returns home after a cure is discovered and everything changes. David is one such artificial child and is the first to have real feelings, in particular for his "mother" - a woman who adopted him as a substitute for her real son who is in cryogenic-stasis, stricken by an incurable disease. Nonetheless, the population has withdrawn to the interior of the continent and technology has reached a point where realistic-looking robots now serve them. Synopsis: Set in the not-too-distant future, melting ice has caused sea level to rise and while New York City is under water, strangely, Haddonfield, New Jersey is not. Not a classic by any means, but you need to watch it for yourself to appreciate why it's both good and bad (Image credit: Warner Bros.)
