"I say we take off, and nuke the entire site from orbit... It's the only way to be sure." And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the only line that can be applied to any situation whatsoever.

told from the point of view of prolific planet colonialists. here they're shown as peaceful settlers, but as all national expeditions go, some repression is inevitable. unrest results, some of it violent, culminating in an attack on a settler family close to their village. this reactionary terrorism gives an excuse for our heroes to perform total genocide. like lord of the rings & star wars, but worse: the scene where ripley slaughters the children of the creature is horrifying and despicable.

Arguably James Cameron's best work. Very entertaining film and it looked great. Often sequels usually far short of the original but I wouldn't say this one did at all. I consider it just as good as the original but far more action orientated.

Amazing creature design, memorable characters (Ripley & Vasquez being stand-outs, but Lieutenant Gorman and Bishop spring to mind as well) and a strong, unflabby script which made me root for the team and hate Burke, as intended. By turns unsettling and action-packed, what makes Cameron's classic so entertaining is its perfectly judged pacing - with just the right spread of drama, suspense and intensity. Favorite scenes: the nightmare and Sigourney wielding her flamethrower.

Whatever is great about non-computerized visual effects are all in this movie. Even though I am not a big fan of Cameron's, I have to admit his sense of action is nearly unsurpassable. Everybit of alien ass we see, we desire more. Biological background that Aliens build up on the first film is fair especially considering todays standards.

Aliens provided the blueprint for how to create a model sequel: A) expand on the ideas of the first film without losing sight of what made it great; B) heighten the stakes in a convincing manner; C) introduce enough new wrinkles to keep the audience on their toes; and D) have the good fortune to be helmed by an obsessive, hands-on visionary at the height of his artistic prowess. Often imitated, never duplicated.

The best sequel ever made, if you like "Alien", you'll love "Aliens". Exactly as the title would have you believe, there's more baddies this time, and they're bigger, and more action.

Relies heavily on the 'bigger is better' philosophy of sequel making, which works for events like the queen vs. the loader and for making a statement with the exaggerated phallic weaponry but works against pacing/tension and undercuts the strength of Giger's design (now ribbed for her pleasure) - the more aliens we see getting wasted the less fearsome they become. The action and set pieces are dated by a stagey laser-tag arena quality - makes for a good level in the AvP Gold video game though.

Just a thing of beauty: a slice of B-movie heaven that manages to do All the Things and be every genre, and succeed at nearly everything. Each of the players is established in such an elegant, efficient fashion, and the tension is so pervasive, the film feels justified as it stampedes wildly to the baddest and best chick fight yet committed to film.

What this filmmaker does best: a high concept, high tech actioner. To manage a successful sequel to a years-gone, utterly singular masterpiece is no small feat to start, but Cameron's film forges its own identity. It's so absolutely, almost improbably loaded. Monster movie, Vietnam parable, and one of the great works of feminist cinema. That's a hell of a combination.

Excellent sci-fi horror sequel which improves on the original in many aspects. The action and tension of the fight against Aliens has never felt or looked better since in a relentless spree of action from start to finish. Quite possibly the best action horror film ever made.

These people really need to learn some manners. Starts with throwing good food on the floor and insulting someone you've never met. Swearing in front of kids. Spilling milk all over everything during the final battle. Just some real BM.

A big old mess. Sacrifices tension for obnoxious pyrotechnics, turns the xenomorphs into boring slimy monsters-of-the-week, and fills out the cast with terrible characters who serve as little more than blood-filled sacs to get squeezed for the audience's delight. I'm willing to accept that Cameron and I enjoy different things in sci-fi films but his writing is regularly embarrassing, and there's something deeply ingrained in the look and feel of all his films that just irritates me.

I thought this was one of the best film sequels ever made. Cameron kind of takes this franchise to more of an 80s action movie as oppose to the subtle horror movie the first film felt like, and it is super 80s, but it's still really well-acted and directed and written, and that's more than I can say most modern sci/fis nowadays. All around a well-made movie, and easily just as good, if not slightly better, than Alien.

Well-made and entertaining as hell, but the endless torrent of aliens isn't as menacing as the single one in the first movie. The movie is still very suspenseful, but in a less satisfying way, I think.

Over-praised, poorly-written sequel focusing on militarism and firepower at the expense of character or suspense. More nonsense is written about this movie than perhaps any other. That people purport to find symbolic significance in this film caused me to think that Hollywood may introduce such elements into "blockbuster"-type movies as a deliberate marketing strategy targeted at audiences they believe will respond to such things: "film theory placement." That the cat becomes a kid doesn't help.

Tremendously atmospheric and exciting film, which I have rewatched countless times without tiring of it. From my point of view, the tighter theatrical release is the one to go for, although some may enjoy the extra padding of the director's cut.

More people, aliens, and guns make this sequel more of an action-thriller than its slow-horror predecessor, replacing the latter's subtle suspense and relatability with more straight-forward shoot-em-up fodder, but that's not to say it's always a bad thing (more aliens makes for a stronger sense of hopelessness; Ripley and the alien Mom's unexpected final showdown is awesome) or that it doesn't still have good character work (sniveling Burke is the perfect complement to strong-willed Ripley).

Aliens is the most perfect sequel name. In the first, you have a singular Alien, hence the name Alien. Here, you have multiple Aliens, hence the name Aliens. I like that this film is in the future but they still brought that 80's hair with them.

[Director's Cut] Cameron couldn't have outdone the original in terms of suspense and horror, so he took the basic premise and moved it into a different genre. Each Alien movie is a child of its time. The original was a bleak dystopian 1970s vision of the future. This is a balls-to-the-wall guns-blazin' 80s film, full of great set pieces and wise-cracking characters. Which is better? Stupid question. They're completely different films, but both at the pinnacle of their respective genres.

James Cameron's action sequel tops the first "Alien" as a pure visceral experience. This movie never lets up and makes an interesting transition from the confined horror of the first picture, to a pulsating blend of action and suspense - brilliantly and fittingly contrasting Ridley Scott's outing, while retaining the same atmosphere. Released in 1986, the creatures have still never looked as good as they do here. "Aliens" stands unquestionably as one of the best sequels ever made.

A case of "sequel is better than the original". The first one was a horror movie, this one is more action movie, but the mood is still dark as ever with Ripley being one of the most memorable tough female warriors in movie history.

This is a great movie. But don't go into this movie thinking it's a sequel to Alien. No, this is more like "The continuing adventures of Ripley." This film shares Ripley and the Alien and that is all. This is a different kind of terror, a different level of action. In space no one can hear you scream, but down planetside, noone can hear you scream over the flame throwers and machine guns.

I'm really impressed. I've just seen this movie for the first time, 23 years after its release and it's awesome. I love Giger's design for the Aliens and the movie has great atmosphere. Great example that a good movie doesn't need tons of bad CGI..

Responsible for creating action movie cliches that will be copied in less inventive ones for years to come, and in that sense deserves classic status, but I found it far from the perfect action flick many claim it to be. Ripley is ultimately the only well-fleshed out character, with the military unit mainly made up of amusing caricatures, and the pacing isn't quite flawless. Very entertaining, especially the final third or so, but lacks the vision of the original Alien.

The love for this movie baffles me. It's competent enough, but how anyone can call it their favorite movie of all time is beyond me. Ripley's characterization is better than in Alien, and there are a couple of good scenes/jokes, but it is inferior in every way to Alien, and I would rather watch just about any other above-average movie that's on the air instead.

I prefer the slow tension of the more horror-based Alien, but this is still really thrilling. It's awesome to me that a single franchise can give us one of the best horror movies of all-time and one of the better action movies. I don't love it as much as some but I can see why it's beloved. Ripley is still awesome, the atmosphere is spot on and the action is frantic and exciting. Some really sloppy acting and little flaws here and there bring it down for me, but it's still great.

My least favourite 'Alien' movie, including Vs Predator, and even including vs Predator II, which I haven't seen. Every military cliche imaginable, cute kid too for Weaver to protect, the noble robot, evil ambitious individual replaces corporate alienation - though the guy from 'Mad About You' is the only likable character in the film.

Director's cut - Superb continuation of the Alien saga, anchored by Weaver's charismatic and commanding performance as Ripley, backed by an entertaining motley group of characters (with Paxton's gung-ho machismo standing out). Probably Cameron's most sturdily written screenplay to date, finding some fascinating levels to the Ripley character, but at its glorious best once the wall-to-wall action starts. Certainly a sci-fi/action masterpiece, and far and away the best of the Alien films.

Whilst the prequel was suspenseful, because the concept of the "alien" was new to us, there is no way the follow up could take the same path .... so instead we get the biggest, wildest rollercoaster action ride imaginable, which is the perfect ( and in my opinion better ) follow up to Alien. Sigourney Weaver is just incredible and creates one of the most memorable women action characters in the history of cinema, and Lance Hendricksons performace is also wonderful as a "synthetic" person !

A benchmark sci-fi action film, shot with precision & directed with artistic flair. Few flix have ever looked so awesome. While Alien created the atmosphere, the sequel puts us right in the thick of it. Ripley's a fantastic female lead: brave, tactical, and a total badass- yet she retains her maternal instincts. For better or worse, dialogue and interaction of Cameron's rugged band of militant Alien hunters spawned character blueprints for dozens of future action movies. An intense visual treat.

Aliens doesn't simply succeed because it's bigger and badder than Alien but because James Cameron is able to write an interesting, entertaining and fun screenplay. From Ripley coming to terms with her all to real demons to the quippy lines of space marines Aliens moves seamlessly between the dramatically serious and downright hilarious .

This is my favorite of all the Alien movies. Sigourney Weaver is perfect in the lead role. The supporting actors are good here as well, in particular Bill Paxton and Paul Reiser. There are a lot of great thrills, this movie is a classic work of science fiction.

This might be the ultimate shoot-'em-up sci-fi actioner of all time. The way Cameron expands the first film is fantastic. He sacrifices the chilling, claustrofobic aspect of the original in order to shape it into a giant war movie. And, well, he's the best man in Hollywood to bring this military novelty to sci-fi -- as he would do in the following years. We get less scares, but the absorbing atmosphere is preserved. There's also room for Newt and some sentimental touch. Great entertainment.

If you take the pure suspense of Alien and channel about a third of it into edge of your seat action sequences, you'd have Aliens. Still a very great piece of sci-fi/horror cinema.

Finally we get a good robot guy! That last one was creeping me out, especially with all that white stuff. Shouldn't she have aged or something during all those years she was living in space? And she was sleeping with that nasty disgusting cat when they wiped all that frosty stuff off her casket. Like she was Sleeping Beauty or something, that's just wrong. Who in their right mind would go back? They already knew those aliens were going after everyone, why tempt them?

Expertly blends sci-fi, action, and horror, into an experience that's both exhilarating and stomach-churning. The creature and set designs are genius, the action scenes are well-shot, the cast is great, and the story is very engaging. It's arguably Cameron's best movie.

The story is very good and the action is spectacular and the suspense is there all the way... but I'm really put off by James Cameron's obvious lust for hi-tech weaponry and penchant for "tough guy" dialogue. He's so adolescent.

This should be a model for sequel producers everywhere. It takes the premise and world of the original, expands on it with solid new characters, and gives it an interesting twist (this is much more actiony than the original). My only real complaint is that the "villain" angle was handled much more intelligently in the original, since the villain in this one is human and should, despite all else, have some interest in saving his own skin.

Though it is inferior to Alien, I love almost every minute of this thing. It's a violently intense war movie, a descent into a pit of hell, and as the awesome climax underlines, a story of (surrogate) motherhood. Or, indeed, mother vs. mother, and mother as protector. "Get away from her, you bitch!"

Cameron remakes Alien as an action movie, and what an action movie. This is Cameron at the top of his game, crafting instantly likable characters and getting great performances from his cast. The tension and action is excellent, backed by a typically bombastic score from James Horner. The strong characters keep us invested in their fates with only a few of them feeling like alien fodder. One of the best action movies ever made.

(SE) The brash, badass younger sibling to Scott's suspenseful original. At times venerated as a 'better sequel' or derided for its dialed-up performances and dialogue - the best thing about Aliens is the considerable respect Cameron shows to the first film whilst transforming the series into a blockbuster franchise. Spectacular production, non-stop action set pieces and near-as-damnit perfect pacing, underpinned by a subtext that the audience can interpret - or disregard - as they like. Classic.

Though the original had a greater impact on me, this was my favourite movie through my adolescence (an still a good candidate for the title). A good explanation would be that after being scared half to death in the first movie, this offered a much needed catharsis. And the best kind of catharsis there is: The kind packing smart guns, pulse rifles and a handy shotgun (just in case). To top it off, Aliens is also the most intense, well crafted action movie I've ever seen, so yeah: still the best!

James Cameron's follow-up to the sci-fi/horror classic "Alien"(1979) is often cited as one of the top examples of a sequel done right. Heavily debated among fans whether or not this sci-fi/action style film surpasses the original, and ultimately that answer seems to always come down to personal taste. I favor the original's suspense over Cameron's 80s cheese filled action. However there is still a lot to appreciate inside this action packed sequel, mainly Sigourney Weaver's iconic performance.

seen for the first time recently, really love this one, it takes the suspense and character driven narrative of the first and adds in alot of action which is pretty great. The effects are dated but still look amazing considering. It gets the point across and thats all the matters really, I would much rather see practical effects in the first place. Bill Paxton is awesome in this movie. I just really enjoyed everything about this film.

So much worse than the original it's almost insulting. Not really all that shocking considering it's James fucking Cameron. His usual, juvenile tricks can all be found here. The nauseatingly macho dialogue, the terrible characters, etc. But this still features some great action scenes and lively suspense which allow it to overcome its flaws.

One of the best action movies of all time, Cameron did his own take on the alien character and transitions from horror to action action adventure seamlessly. While being a different style of film, Cameron keeps the atmosphere and tension brought from Alien and much like the first, keeps the Aliens visually terrifying and sounds extremely creepy. Cameron also furthers the story of Ripley with a surprise character entry that really pays off. Cameron created a great movie and a even better sequel.

This tries to be a Faster & More Intense sequel--with an Aliens title indicating multiple monsters instead of one. There isn't much thought as it's essentially a Starship Troopers sci-fi story. Still, unlike the previous picture's corporate commentary, this one doesn't have anything to say about the military-industrial complex. And Paxton & Reiser misstep by going beyond their intended annoying purposes. I may be in the minority, but even with the strong motherhood theme, I prefer the original.

Alien: There's a bomb under the table and it hasn't gone off. Aliens: Oops, the bomb just went off and left a crater the size of a football field. I generally prefer a little more build-up and tension rather than all-out action, but my main issue with this is the cliché-ridden dialogue and the obnoxious supporting characters. It follows the same formula as the first film (replace "ship" with "planet" and "cat" with "girl"), but is just bigger, louder and brasher.

Aliens is a superior film when compared to its predecessor, because it does its genre well, instead of just in an average way. It's essentially an action film that has a lot of build-up to the action, which means you're in for a heart-pounding thrill ride. It's a departure from the subdued nature of Alien, but that ended up being a good decision in my eyes. It's an exciting film that has good effects and unrelenting action, which makes it definitely worthy of a watch.

I like both of the first two Alien films for different reasons. Aliens is definitely the more action-packed of the two and features a commanding performance by Sigourney Weaver as a badass female heroine for the ages. The film does still allow some of the more suspenseful moments that made the first film so effective, but it's the fiery climax that is one of the best blockbuster third acts of an action film ever made.

"Aliens" replaces its predecessor's slow-building horror with relentless suspense and gunfighting. Cameron's screenplay is typically laughable, containing some of the cheesiest one-liners ever uttered in film, the marines are annoying and there's just too much talking in the first half, but, nevertheless, this remains a damn effective thriller with some truly stroke-worthy moments and a brilliantly created atmosphere of menace. Sigourney Weaver is also excellent -she carries the film.

although themes and plot progression are almost a copy & paste with some up in the ante, calling it an action refurbishment of scott's masterpiece wouldn't do it justice. the second installment still manages to bring pure cult material to the table. from awesome character ensemble, set and prop design to visual fx and sound, you just feel the love and dedication. and that's not an empty phrase, many of cast & crew got hurt or almost died filming this, check the making of!

I actually really enjoyed the first film. The aliens are made out to be extremely deadly and difficult to kill, which made the first Alien scary. This one is an action film, where aliens are killed left and right. As a result there is almost no element of horror remaining. It’s more of an action/Sci-Fi Popcorn Flick. A few decent moments here and there, but surprisingly dull all things considered. I guess I’m one of very few people who didn’t find this enjoyable.

'Aliens' succeeds as the best possible sequel to Scott's original movie thanks to a combination of Cameron's vision to transition to a fresh genre while still holding tight to what made the first film as terrifying and thrilling as it is. This, coupled with an emotional core missing from its predecessor makes 'Aliens' one of the great sequels.

Great sequel to an amazing original film. The intense atmosphere of the first film is only partially here, this is made up for by awesome action scenes and even more ass-kicking. There's still plenty of suspense. Ripley is a great protagonist and the aliens are awesome enemies. The characters are brought to life very well and feel like real human beings rather than alien fodder. Epic showdown. Amazing film!

With James Cameron's magic touch, Alien went from being one of the best horror movies of all time, to one of the best action movies of all time. Aliens isn't the same horror film that Alien was. It's a bigger, more action oriented roller coaster but still, in its own different way, reaches the level of suspense that the first movie excelled at. The cast is great, particularly Sigourney Weaver who is just as good as she was in the first movie. Overall, Aliens may be one of the best movie sequels.

A humongous improvement on the first movie. Ripley gets a far more interesting character arc, Newt is a lot more than the average annoying child character, and the multiple aliens are awesome, especially the queen. I will say I still hate their trend of making about every single character unlikable, and the movie drags a lot in the first two acts, but overall I say it's fair to call it a staple of Sci-Fi.

This is an interesting sequel because it has a nice different approach and I could see where James was going, but It wasn't as intelligent or elegant as the first one and that shows, the marine plot is idiotic like: "We are going on a mission where we could confront an alien species, let's put in charge someone with zero experience" or "Hey we found what appears to be the nest, let's go without any plan and of course let's bring the kid with us". Over the top, but entertaining

Where Ridley Scott made a suspenseful horror in genre defining fashion, Cameron did the same for Sci-Fi action blockbusters. Weaver cuts the archetype for the badass action leading lady, and whilst some of the effects may look a bit dated now it doesn't ever detract from the drama. Only problem was some of the clunkier dialogue, but then again that's not what you hire Cameron for.

Far more action-packed than the first Alien, this film is more about fighting back. Still with a strong sense of survival, this film remains as intense as the first. It's safe to say it's more fun than the original film, although it is not as original. Sadly, Bill Paxton is present and incredibly annoying. Sigourney Weaver reprises her role as Ellen Ripley, and she gives another outstanding performance. Really good!

Though James Cameron's sequel gives the original a much-needed special effects upgrade it retains little of what made Ridley Scott's original film a classic. Gone are the atmosphere of the first, the tension, and the engaging characters and they are replaced by james Cameronisms. I'm sure it was a hit when it came out, but now It reeks of stale blockbuster. It is destined to continue to rot as time goes on (much in the same way Titanic had a short life span as a great film).

This is the granddaddy of all modern action pictures. Brilliant sets, effects, performances and action at all times. Once the wheels start turning, this picture doesn't slow down. Ripley evolves as a character into a more maternal role and the support from the hilarious Paxton, charming Henriksen and despicable Reiser keeps us worrying about the cast and feeling the danger that they are in. This film has aged wonderfully and exposes how shallow so many blockbusters today truly are.

The ultimate action film? Cameron shows his talents and keeps you at the edge of your seat for the duration of this action/horror classic.

Aliens is more action oriented then its predecessor which I feel hurts the film. The haunting atmosphere and tension is replaced with blasting aliens. It is still a beautifully dark and fun film, but not quite as awesome as Alien.

Great atmosphere, tight plot and good pacing. The last 40 minutes are one hell of a ride!

Absolutely incredible... this is sci-fi to the max. Production design is off-the-charts insane - everything about the planet and the marines' unit looks, feels and sounds 100% real, and that's before we even encounter old snappy-teeth and his relatives. The tension of the initial alien hunt is edge-of-seat, pants-poopingly frightening, and it's amped up double after Ripley is inside. Excellent cast and script, fantastic SFX. Set a new standard for sci-fi and action which hasn't yet been matched.

What started as a bad film, ended as an even worse one. Quite possibly the most overrated film of all time, full of pointless scenes, annoying characters and shallow character "development", ridiculous dialogues and no constant atmosphere.
But then again, that's what Cameron does best: nothing.
I vote for the film to be removed from the Horror and Suspense/Thriller tags, it has nothing to do with these genres.

Loved it, by far my favorite action film. The battle of the mama bears is the best.

Aliens is the best one of the quadrilogy. Sigourney plays outstandingly.
