I like to keep this handy, for close encounters.

Aliens is the fast paced, action packed sequel to the 1979 smash hit movie Alien. This movie has it all, great action, beautiful cinematography, big guns, great characters and more monsters. This time around, Ripley from the first movie is awakened 57 years after the events in alien from hyper-sleep and the planet where the creature that killed her crew was found is now colonized. And she is sent back to that planet with a team of marines and a representative with the company she works for to investigate what is happening after communication is lost with the colony on the planet. And Ripley comes face-to-face with the very same monsters that killed her crew in the first movie. James Cameron takes elements that were in the first movie and adds some of his own to this one. Of all the films in the Alien series, Ridley Scott's movie and James Cameron's movie are by far the best. Aliens is one of the best sci fi/action movies ever made.
