Another classic from my childhood

Rating: 9/10 (25 November 2007)

Well I think a lot of other users have summed up my feelings about this film.
I actually saw aliens before alien, after a lot of people has spoken about it in the playground. It was a premier on ITV over Xmas in 1990-1991. It was one of the first scary sci-fi i watched and it gave me nightmares! Classic characters such as Hicks, Hudson etc. Excellent direction from James Cameron. The only thing is that some of the effects have dated a little bit (not the creature effects though).
Also the portrayal of a elite military unit seems very undisciplined, which is something Cameron says he wishes he could address in his DVD commentary.
