Probably the best sequel the horror genre has seen.

James Cameron followed up Ridley Scott's original with fantastic work. Its suspenseful and gritty. It manages to pull you into its level of realism which is amazing when any horror movie can accomplish this.

Its a movie that is filled with action but the parts without it will suck you into the story even more.

A must see for any horror/action fan.

This is the real deal. Alien 1 was just Ridley Scott showing some nice camera work. But that movie wasn't really scary, and the Alien looked like he was made of plastic (well, I guess it is anyway..), not really alive.
Here, the fright,...

This is the real deal. Alien 1 was just Ridley Scott showing some nice camera work. But that movie wasn't really scary, and the Alien looked like he was made of plastic (well, I guess it is anyway..), not really alive.
Here, the fright, terror, uncertainty and the violent last 30 minutes, can't leave you on you chair.
Well worth your time.

this next movie is even better than the first. In this film there is more action than the first one which livens things up. Sigourney Weaver plays another great role in the movie.

The original Alien movie in 1979 was truly one of the scariest, and best, films I have ever gotten the chance to watch. It still manages to scare the crap out of me everytime I watched it. Hollywood has a tendency to make crappy sequels to great movies, so it's quite pleasing to see a sequel that is, if nothing else, almost as good as the original.

Aliens is just that movie.

Sigourney Weaver turns out another great role in this film as Ripley, but the colonial marines easily steal the show here, especially Bill Paxton. Bill Paxton's career has turned to crap ever since this movie, but here, he evokes some of the best one-liners in cinema.

Cameron has done a great job of giving the supporting characters dimensions, and making me rejoice when that greasy Burke finally gets it.

The special effects are still remarkably good, for the most part. The aliens look almost frighteningly real.

In short, see Aliens now.
