Simply Perfect

Rating: 10/10 (22 September 1998)

Twelve years ago, James Cameron made the ultimate sci-fi movie ever created. At first, it was thought that either it would be a bomb and ruin his career or be a box office hit and all the credit would go to Ridley Scott (Alien). Both speculations were wrong. In 1986, Cameron made the most amazing Sci-Fi movie imaginable. Adding all the aspects of a thick plot, action, suspence, terror, and realism any movie could possibly handle. The acting was perfect as was the special effect. At a budget of $18 million, Aliens beats even today's visual masterpieces. After years of watching Aliens, I was able to watch the special edition and saw the sentry gun scenes as well as the colony scenes, making the movie a whole 2 hours 34 minutes long. I have one thing to say, "simply perfect."
