The continuation of perfection

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 2015)

As I have previously stated, 'Alien' is the perfect horror film. It must be said though that 'Aliens' is the perfect sequel. This film is one of only a few sequels made that can actually stand toe to toe with the first films in their series. I liked James Cameron's approach to building on perfection, and that's more guns, more gore, and more aliens. It really works well. Another plus for me is the transformation of Ripley, from a dainty survivor to an extremely strong character, and woman. The supporting cast is extremely likable and you don't want them to die but you know it's inevitable. I own the extended version and I prefer it to the theatrical version, as all the extra scenes actually have an impact on the overall film. All in all this is a very good film and i'm looking forward to seeing the new film because it will be ignoring 'Alien3 and Alien;resurrection'.
