ALIENS is not better than ALIEN. For one thing, the Ellen Ripley of ALIENS looks like a soccer mom.
A classic! “Alien” was good, “Aliens” even better. Watch the 2-1/2 hour extended version which tells a lot more of the backstory than the theatrical cut. Several really great performances by the actors, Hicks and Hudson, the always great Jenette Goldstein as Vasquez, Lance Henricksen as the very human cyborg, and many others. Carrie Henn as Newt the little girl adding the human face among those tough soldiers. Great story, great acting, Stan Winston at his best in the aliens’ design. Overall, a perfect movie to watch over and over again!
If you look closely, you will see that the Halo game has taken a lot of ideas fromo this movie, for example, the Pillar of Autumn looks a lot like the ship, Johnson and his cigar and the marines leaving the ship, and the Pelicans. Has anyboby else thought this?
One of the best all time movies, of any genre.
this is truly one of the best movies of all time its got everything you could possiby want out of a sci-fi movie great acting, script, action, special effects , horrer, drama and best of all it has the best directer of all time. I higly recomend this movie
ALIEN was a much better movie and Weaver was at her best in ALIEN 3.
Cameron's classic masterpiece of all time, next to Terminator, this movie brings you into Cameron's sci fi fantasy world,
I have to say that James Cameron's 'Aliens' is the best film I have ever seen. As I write my own screenplays, I use cameron's script as a template because the characterizations, the story structure, the setting, the emotions, and the ending are absolutely flawless in design - the unfolding drama is maximized past the limits of the audience's expectations. What a true masterpiece!
Best movie ever, hands down.
This is probably the best film I've ever seen!!!
