Sigourney Weaver puts the hero in heroine, as Lieutenant Ripley in the first three movies particularly; she is nothing short of fantastic. Her acting, as usual, is superb and she knows how to play the character throughout, not over-reacting or under-reacting but gliding along nicely in Ridley Scott’s masterpiece. In ‘Aliens’ she goes back for more, playing the mother figure to Newt, but I don’t feel that it’s in a negative light. ‘Alien 3’ although not getting the credit it deserved is also fantastic and would have been a brilliant ending for the character. I’m not a fan of ‘Resurrection’ but as usual Weaver does her job perfectly.
The one question is though; in the original – ‘Alien’ – would you go back for ‘Jonesy’ the Cat? I know I would, but then I adore cats. . The story is fantastic and was first to use many of the horror clichés we see today, but it is Olivia’s performance which is kept very much realistic throughout which sells the movie to the audience as a very believable thing that could happen.
