Not too much to say about this one--it was clearly made and timed to the articulated seats that the audience sat in (which is where the whole 'ride at the speed of fright' bit comes in--it's shown in a special theater where the seats are set up in twos on bending columns to make it feel like you're moving with the onscreen action). If you've seen Aliens (I'm hoping you have), you've seen this. All of the actors are new, and the plot is radically simplified, but the custom redone footage (new actors, same scenes, same gist with the dialogue) is polished, and they even managed to splice in bits and pieces of film from the original movie well enough that unless you have it memorized, you'll be second-guessing yourself as to where the new film and the old film are separated (usually it's a matter of just a few frames).
The moving chair stuff was fun, and was pretty well timed to the on-screen goings-on. I liked it, but my friend got a little motion-sick. I think it was just him.
I don't know if the little theater where I saw this is still showing it, or whether the theater itself is even still there on Pier 39 down on Fisherman's Wharf. Regardless, it was a fun stop that afternoon.
