Film Research

I have chosen to research Aliens (the sequel to Alien)

Following the first film, The main character, Ellen Ripley, wakes up 50 years after the previous movies events. She then finds herself trying to explain the existance of the alien to the corporation whose ship she destroyed in the previous film. Her warnings fall on deaf ears but soon the signs of an alien attack are apparent in a new human city. Ripley is sent, with a team of soldiers to find out what is going on and put a stop to it. However the soldiers are soon attacked and find themselves on the run from the aliens. When their airship is destroyed it becomes apparent that they have no option but to fight their way out. The sci fi nature of it is similar to star wars.
The Main character is played by Sigourney Weaver. She is traumatised by the loss of her crew and the horrors she has seen but she is the only person who fully understands the threat of the alien. There are several soldiers but most of them are killed off. Also Lance Henriksen plays a cyborg who Ripley instantly mistrusts because the cyborg in Alien tried to kill her.
The film has not much wider meaning but it does take a stab at the corporate world. The corporations are always against what the viewer knows to be right which may be the filmakers view on the corporate world.
You would expect to see crampt claustrophobic environments in aliens as that creates an instant atmoshphere.
