A great movie

Rating: 9/10 (9 December 2002)

This is one of those EXTREMELY rare cases where the sequal is BETTER than the original. Don't get me wrong, Alien was very very good. But, I happen to think this one is better. Where Alien was more psychological thriller than sci-fi, this one is A LOT more sci-fi, and quite a bit more expansive. Of course, in 1986, the makers had a lot more to work with than in 1979. Aliens has some of the same elements of Alien though. The last battle with the queen one of the coolest bits of the movie. I would recommend Alien to anybody, but I will always say that Aliens was better.

BTW, the other two Alien movies SUCKED.
