Out of the Shadows asks the question: What if the event bridging Alien and Aliens is the storyline of Aliens?
I thought I’d check out the Dirk Maggs dramatization for this one after the paperback failed to grip me a few years ago. Laurel Lefkow deliver’s Lebbon’s Ellen Ripley impeccably. Rutger Hauer’s Ash fails to capture the character at all. The choice to keep him around as a malicious AI is nearly as bad as the heavily accented delivery. The whole thing sounds like a video game cutscene.
