For the difficult job of following up Ridley Scott's excellent Alien, director James Cameron decided to go a completely different route-to make a fast moving, slightly tongue-in-cheek, boisterous action extravaganza. When Earth-based communications loses contact with LV-426, a band of marines are sent to investigate, taking Ripley and a representative from the company that financed the colony, Carter Burke (Paul Reiser) along for the ride. 57 years after the events of the first film, Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is found and awakened from hyper sleep to discover that a terraforming colony has been set up on LV-426, the planet wherein she and her fellow crew of the mining cargo spaceship Nostromo first encountered the titular aliens. This is a direct continuation of that story. Series note: It is strongly advised that you watch this film only after seeing Alien (1979).
