Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Sexylocher Masterful Movie
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
rambofanlife-41678 Aliens (1986) is a masterpiece one of the best action sci-fi horror war films of all time. I love this movie to death it is my personal number 1 best action sci-fi-horror movie that I love to death. In my opinion this is James Cameron best film ever don't get me wrong I love The Terminator, I love Terminator 2: Judgment Day, but my personal favorite film of all time will always be Aliens and Rambo: First Blood Part II because James Cameron wrote the script for it. It is a bad-ass film and I wrote a war because this time is war in the planet LV-426 Platoon of US Space Marines fights against Aliens.I know a lot of people compere this film to an action and sci-fi genre but doesn't compare to horror genre. There's plenty of horror in it: the opening scene the dreams sequence in which Ripley has a nightmare and we see Ripley been cocooned from one of those Alien creatures in her stomach that was scary sequence in which her cat Jones start hissing and creeps me out every time I see it. The creepy atmosphere of the LV-426 colony, and the heart pounding face hugger on the loose scene in the medical bay that is horror sequence.I love James Horner's music score for the movie which is his best soundtrack ever. I love all the characters: Ripley, Newt than the marines: Corporal Dwayne Hicks, Bishop, Private Hudson, Lieutenant Gorman, Private Vasquez, Sergeant Apone, Private Drake, Private Frost, Corporal Ferro, Private Spunkmeyer, Corporal Dietrich, Private Crowe, and Private Wierzbowski I love them all in this movie and they are memorable.Sigourney Weaver returns as Ellen Ripley, who travels with a platoon of US Colonial Marines to investigate a loss of contact with the colony established on the same planet discovered by the crew of the Nostromo in the original filmI love the action, Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) finds the Alien nest, saves Newt (Carrie Henn) destroys all the eggs of the Alien. Battles with the Alien Queen one-on-one she gains a new daughter, when her real daughter was dead. Ripley comes back to colony LV-426 to face her fear once and for all so that she want have any nightmares and she and Newt will be safe. We have Bishop here a synesthetic android, he saves Ripley and Newt. Lance Henriksen is excellent as Bishop I love him in Hard Target (1993) and I love him in here to death. I love Michael Biehn as Corporal Dwayne Hicks this is my favorite role of the actor he played. I love Private Hudson (Bill Paxton) he was the best, rest in peace I really miss you. Ellen Ripley is a bad-ass warrior Sigourney Weaver was the best in this movie. Carrie Henn as Newt was the heart in this film.I love this film to death, I am cherishing with all my heart. I have this movie on Blu-ray disc and I am constantly watching it. I used to had the DVD version but I trade it for Blu-ray because of the better picture quality, better special features and the DVD cut scenes from the film away even the special edition did that. DVD did not had any special features at all. 10/10 my personal action, sci-fi, horror masterpiece war movie of all time I love "Aliens" to death!
nastiayeleniuk Aliens > Alien I don't wanna make Alien sound bad, it's one of the best movies I've ever seen. EVER. And it just gets better on rewatching. Alien was directed by Ridley Scott, one of my favorite directors. Aliens was written and directed my James Cameron, also one of my favorite directors. Both are suspenseful beyond your imagination. While Alien is a little better than Aliens in regards to story and originality, these are just some of the reasons Aliens is superior to Alien: 1) It introduces my favorite Alien character, Rebecca "Newt" Jorden. It's the only Alien movie she appears in and she has a LOT of screentime in Aliens. Carrie Henn was an amazing casting choice for her character. She gives one of the best, if not the best child performance I've ever seen in a movie (and yes, I've seen The Shining and I know that Danny Lloyd is amazing in it. You can feel her emotions through every ounce of her facial expressions, voice and actions. It's so so sad that she didn't pursue an acting career. 2) They got Ripley even better than in Alien. I love how James Cameron always puts very strong women in his movies and she is such a badass in Aliens. 3) Alien doesn't have a twist like Alien does. The twist that there's a xenomorph queen is awesome. I thought that xenomorphs are the coolest-looking creatures in all of science fiction, but this thing looks even better! 4) Alien has a great finale, but the finale of Aliens is the absolute best and I couldn't take my eyes away both times I saw it. 5) Aliens contains my favorite line from the entire saga: "Get away from her, you bitch!" 6) Despite not having something like a big theme, the score of Aliens is even better than the score of Alien.Aliens is the best movie of all time in my opinion. And now that I've seen both the theatrical version and the director's cut I can say that the theatrical version is better. I like the director's cut's addition that Ripley has a daughter who died while she was in hypersleep, but I like that Rebecca's first scene is not in the theatrical version. It slows the movie down a little bit.
pabloxmarcel How would you like hot chocolate in Planet LV-426? If you're traveling to another planet, don't forget to get All Natural Hot Chocolate K Cups. Chocolate is rich in nutrients, it is a superfood. Only a Pumpkin Spice Latte would have been more ridiculous. Add the following items to the checklist: an 18th century flashlight, sunglasses for landing purposes, a bandana for fighting scenes and duct tape for advanced weaponry. What the hell they teach in the Marine Corps regarding eye protection? Whatever the lessons taught, corporals/privates are good at painting logos in their jackets. Private Hudson, the crybaby, is good at drawing skulls, and Corporal Hicks is competent at drawing hearts. Corporal Hicks should know that there is only one superhero that uses a heart shaped logo in his suit.There are some interesting one lines. A little tribute to Tony Montana: "Can I go now?". A tribute to the XX commercial dude: "Stay Frosty (my friends)". And the best line in the history of cinema: "...Hicks is next in chain of command, am I right, Corporal? Yea,...yea, it's right"Beside cheesy special effects during the landing scene, Aliens is better than Alien. I don't like the idea of cats aboard spacecraft the same way I don't like wasabi with sushi. This time, there was no cat related unnecessary drama.
ukulele33 WOW, just wow. I remember watching this movie when i was a kid and, man did it freak me out. I just watched it again (2018) and i can't believe what a piece of garbage this is. There are sooooo many plot holes, cringe worthy scenes, and just utter disregard to reality. Yes this is a si-fy movie but MAN did they jump the shark! I just can't believe that this movie was praised at all. There are scenes where Cameron decided to "intensify" the action, with NO APPARENT reason!!!!! If its just me than ok. but please re-watch it. It will put this movie in a new perspective
