more sci-fi/action than horror,but a better movie than the origninal

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2007)

although Aliens is not the iconic film that alien is,it is still a better film.this film adds a new element by having multiple aliens rather than just the one.it improves upon the look of the creatures,and while maintaining high suspense,adds more action.this film is less character driven than the first.the characters are more developed though and there is more of a group dynamic going on.we have some of the characters fighting each other,as well as the alien threat.the pacing is a bit better in this film.Obviously,this film is not responsible for the rebirth of horror/sci fi,since the original lays claim to that.but it is,in its own right a classic and will be remembered for a long time to come.10/10
