The most visually influental movie ever.

Rating: Null/10 (8 May 1999)

Talk about trendsetter! Don't believe all the nonsense from all those theme-park minds claiming that Aliens is a much better film! It's no way near. If you don't believe me rent both films 10 years from now. Alien will hold forever, whereas Aliens doesn't even hold water today. Don't get me wrong, Aliens is not a bad movie, not at all, but it's an action movie, not an inventive horror movie. Alien invented the dark, greasy, claustrophobic look everyone's been stealing since. Because there's one problem with guys like Jim Cameron (and Spielberg); They know how to make lots of money and that's it. Period. They'll never be Ridley Scott or Stanley Kubrick, no matter how many Shindler's or Titanics they make. Don't get suckered in, see the true original.
