  • I think that’s the fun of the movie. It’s not trying to recapture the suspense or tension of the original. It’s a natural evolution in a world of monsters. In the first movie, the crew are just people trying to survive on a ship in space with a terrifying novel threat. Any other monster movie sequel, they find new victims and run it back, but the characters in Aliens react as one should to a new threat. Gear up and go at them with soldiers and weapons.

    It’s still terrifying because you and they know what lurks in the wet shadows. They are prepared to fight it which is why it’s an action movie, but it’s still very much an Alien sequel.








  • Agreed, but his subjects singing and dancing along takes a different tone if you thing of him as a violent and petulant predator that could decide to kill any of them at any point. Beneath the smiles and harmonies, they are terrified of the boy-king and his betrothed sister-consort, who hold their lives in their pathetic little paws.
