Best movie ever. Period.

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2015)

I still remember the first time I saw this movie; I was 14 and, after watching the original cut, I had to applaud. Alone.
James Cameron did an excellent job here. Not only excellent; I like to think that this movie set a milestone for both the sci-fi and the action genres.
Aliens is a movie about monsters, about our future as humans, about love, about the human nature. It have its own philosophy. Are the xenomorphs the only bad guys in this story? I like the way Ripley fills the void of her daughter with Newt, and how she endures herself during the movie.
*** SPOILERS *** The only thing I don't like is the way the original version was edited: it left out some memorable scenes: the discovery of the derelict by Newt's family, and the sentry weapons in the hallways. Both of them adds tension and drama to the movie, and explains some obscure points in the original version.
*** END OF SPOILERS *** If you didn't watch it yet, do it! Is one of the best movies ever, and deserves to share the glory with Shawshank Redemption and The Godfather.
