A classic

Rating: 9/10 (16 October 2012)

What can I say, what a classic! Throughout the years, Aliens has remained one of my top five movies of all time, and despite having been filmed in 1986, has aged remarkably well.
It's a brilliant story, and while I have no intention of giving anything away, Ripley's return to LV-426 with a kick-ass compliment of marines sets the stage just nicely for what would prove to be an epic showdown.
While James Cameron is arguably one of the better directors out there, I consider his earlier works, such as this, Terminator, The Abyss and T2, to be far superior to his more recent releases.
Amidst an otherwise dull sky for the aliens franchise, this is the star that shines brightest for me. Highly recommended!
