One word : ALIENS !!!

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2003)

"Aliens" is the best one of the series with its unique good versus evil fight to save the universe. Far better than the slow but still quite scary original "Alien", this film is extremely well crafted with a lot of action and suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Just like the tagline says "This time, it's war", Aliens is a war movie set in space on the distant planet of LV-426. Sigourney Weaver returns as Lt. Ellen Ripley in this chilling adventure directed by James Cameron co-starring the director's usual cast list Michael Biehn, Bill Paxton, Jenette Goldstein and Lance Henriksen.
Recovered somewhere in space by the "company" after drifting into space for the past 57 years, Lt. Ripley explains her story (from the first movie) to the "company" about what happened to the "Nostromo". No one believes her and they revoke her lisence as a flight officer indefinitely. When the company loses contact with the colony on LV-426 (planet from the first movie), Ripley is called back into action to assist a group of Marines on investigating the matter. They find out that the colony is crawling with aliens. Will they survive ?
Personaly, I think that Aliens was perfect in every way. James Cameron's direction and screenplay are sharp and the cast is well chosen to impersonate some colorful characters. Stan Winston's special effects are better than ever and James Horner's score is frightening. Even though a violent picture, Aliens develops a nice chemistry between the characters that leads to a nice happy ending. Too bad that ending is screwed up in the beginning of Alien 3. But just don't think about it when your watching this movie. Have fun and enjoy the ride as James Cameron brings you one step further in the Alien Saga.
