Just watched it again on Blu Ray

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2014)

I can't remember the last time I watched Aliens... or the Aliens director's cut. Maybe almost close to a decade? The last time i watched Aliens was the director's cut and I recently purchased the blu ray and watched it and it did not look dated... it looked like a film that was recently made, however movies like Aliens are rarely made now a days.
Aliens is beautiful. The structure of the aliens are incredible. The technological designs for the weapons and machinery are great. These are 'hand made' too and not CGI. It's fantastic. The walls of the space station has rust and grit. It's not fresh and clean like in modern sci-fi movies.
This movie still holds up. It's far superior than Avatar. The pacing is slower and you get to know the characters. They don't make movies like this anymore.
