Wow! Yes, very suspenseful! Which is what I remembered most about the series, the suspense. And badass Ripley. It amused me while watching this one that she was apparently the only one badass enough to say "fuck"!

Ridley Scott: No one is allowed to say it but Ripley, this will establish her as way more badass than the rest of you.

ALSO, Bilbo! Hee.
