57 years after Ellen Ripley survived an an encounter with an unknown alien lifeform that slaughtered her ship-mates abord the interstellar cargo ship Nostromo, she is discovered and revived from hypersleep to discover that her claims of a "xenomorph" are not only disbelieved, but considered pure fantasy. A few weeks later, events on the planet that she had visited before cause her former employers, "Wayland Yutani", to request her to accompany a squad of Colonial Marines back to the windblown hell known as LV-426. What she and the Colonial Marines find there is unbelievably terrifying...

A surprisingly competent adaption which fails to live up to the movie not because it's bad, but because it is competing with a masterpiece. The horror elements and xenomorph descriptions feel a bit glossed over, but it's nice to get a bit more of the crew.
