Chilling, Black and Nervous

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2002)

Probably the best done alien film there is. From the outset you can feel the tension growing. From the music to the camera work the feel of the film is transfered to the viewer giving a real sense of empathy with the crew of the Nostromo. Many people I know pitch Aliens as the best of the series due to the gun/explosive quota. I believe that the two films complement each other in that the first is dramatic and building and the second is in your face. After the first film you know what to expect so it is good that the second films attacks the story from a different angle.
