Notes

Story Synopsis:
With this James Cameron-directed Aliens epic, we are taken back to the creepy world of Ellen Ripley (Weaver), the only survivor from mankind’s first encounter with the Alien. This time she must face both the monstrous Alien as well as inept military men.

LaserDisc Picture:
Picture quality on the 1.85:1 LaserDisc is excellent, the result no doubt of carefully orchestrated transfers. The picture presentations reflect the dark brooding mood intended by the directors. There is virtually no video noise artifacts nor evidence of any significant degree of grain.

LaserDisc Soundtrack:
Any science fiction film usually requires an array of original sound effects to create an other worldly environment and the sound design is particularly rich with both complexity and startling realism. The scores by both Jerry Goldstein and James Horner capture the sense of the vast emptiness of space in one moment and grisly human terror in the next.
