Aliens or Alien?

Rating: 10/10 (25 April 2006)

This is unlike Alien, this is something else...
This movie will simply blow you away, it is full action packed James Cameron. It is something you will love if you loved The Terminator and you will especially love it if you are a fan of James Cameron.
This movie is not like the first Alien film because unlike the tension of the first one, this one has more of a punch rather than a long build up. However, the film does take a while to get going at the beginning but it works well because it is simply explaining the story. There is no need to watch Alien before this movie. I myself watch aliens long before alien and it was actually a great experience. Because then i could go back and watch the first Alien film wondering how Ripley got into the state she is. The night terrors and the manly build. This is typical James Cameron, you will notice this film is almost identical as The Terminator in many many ways. Notice 2 types of killing machines, an alien and artificial intelligence. Then you have 2 strong female characters, both of which go from the average woman to a soldier. The funny thing is, there is even a love story in both too, Sarah Connor with Reese in The Terminator and Ripley with Newt the little girl in this movie.
This is an insanely brilliant movie with thrills and spills (and i do mean spills) which will keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire ride.
I highly recommend this for viewing late at night in the dark.
