57 years after Ellen Ripley had a close encounter with the reptilian alien creature from the first movie, she is called back, this time, to help a group of highly trained colonial marines fight off against the sinister extraterrestrials. But this time, the aliens have taken over a space colony on the moon LV-426. When the colonial marines are called upon to search the deserted space colony, they later find out that they are up against more than what they bargained for. Using specially modified machine guns and enough firepower, it's either fight or die as the space marines battle against the aliens. As the Marines do their best to defend themselves, Ripley must attempt to protect a young girl who is the sole survivor of the nearly wiped out space colony.
Leave your thoughts about Aliens.
| Washington PostPaul AttanasioTautly paced and expertly directed, this roller coaster ride of a motion picture offers a little bit of everything, all wrapped up in a tidy science fiction/action package. |
| Chicago TribuneRick KoganThough Aliens is unable to eschew some obvious sci-fi conventions and those of other genres as well, it brings a fresh and lively spirit to this tired cinematic clime. Scene to scene, encounter to encounter, its tension builds unrelentingly. So, fasten your seat belts. It`s a blast. |
| EmpireIan NathanTruly great cinema- manages to dodge that 'dodgy sequel' curse with ease. |
| Orlando SentinelJay BoyarAliens is one of the most intensely shocking films to open in ages: Even if you think you've got the stamina for cinematic suspense, you may find yourself out in the lobby, midway, catching your breath. This film is also the best monster movie of the year and the best picture of any kind to open so far this summer. Put it another way: Aliens is the Jaws of the '80s. |
| Bloody DisgustingBrad MiskaIf you were to only see one movie in your entire lifetime it would have to be ALIENS. James Cameron has delivered a masterpiece that will never in a million years be topped... |
| Sarasota Herald-TribuneChristopher LloydIt's interesting that the film, a sequel to Ridley Scott's 1979 atmospheric horror-film-in-space, is generally regarded as an action movie. Go through it, and you'll realize the character and dialogue scenes far outweigh the kablooey stuff. |
| IGN DVDR. L. ShafferJames Cameron's Aliens is easily one of the best sequels ever made, taking the original story and expanding upon it in ways most sequels are afraid to do. |
| Cinema SightWesley LovellAnother defining picture in the sci-fi genre. A stellar achievement that's almost as good as the original. |
| People MagazinePeter TraversSo much for the theory that sequels never equal the original. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Much more high energy but just as sophisticated as the original... |
