This Fiorina "Fury" 161: basically; Lt. Ellen Ripley [Sigourney Weaver:] she is again revived but this time on this ship; which is a male only prison ship with a strong religious belief. But at least there is one individual that is being civil with her to begin with Jonathan Clemens [Charles Dance:] a former inmate of this location turned the facility's doctor. Leonard Dillon [Charles S. Dutton:] he is a prisoner of this location, but more importantly he is the leader/figurehead of these prisoners and finally we have Supt. Harold Andrews [Brian Glover:] he is the prison warden of this facility that strongly believes Lt. Ripley present will cause disruption between the prisoners, he also has an assistant by the name of Francis Aaron [Ralph Brown:] he is one of those kind of repeating what his boss has just said a pinch of snivelling kind of assistance, but a ship has been sent to pick up Lt. Ripley but it could be a week or more.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 114 minutes film is good, I know it isn't the most quickest of films, but it does move with consistency and purpose.

Art, character developments and action; the art is clear to see you from the location being well thought out, to the creation and character developments of this alien/xenomorph and the action sequences are likewise all good.

Character developments, performances and voice performance; as it relates to all the other character developments they are solid versions of what they are meant to be, but it is predominantly down to the performances I have already mentioned in the storyline/plot section of this content; they all provide well rounded and in-depth characters/people and obviously being led by Weaver this array of talent really do give this sequel chemistry which is a crucial component, because even though I am speculating/based on my opinion this sequel would have been left either on Weaver's shoulders to carry or worse it would have been left high and dry. Because most or all consistent filmgoers would understand if you are in a limited location regardless of topics/genre of film; you need to have characters that have opposing opinions/ideas or something just to create tensions or essentially fill up the empty atmosphere/scenes, because if you don't, based on my broad experience in the film in question can and does usually really drag and become monotonous because in a nutshell it does look and feel as if nothing is happening. But this sequel doesn't have to worry about such things as it has a lot to work with and the voice performance is good.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; I mean it is solidly good, mostly everything as I have indicated in this content already would suggest that this mark is a reflection of this instalment of this franchise.
