Great sequel, exhilarating film

Rating: 9/10 (29 November 2008)

The first alien movie, Alien, was good, scary and an acceptable starter for the declining Alien series. The first part was great. Yet the second one in my opinion, blew the first one away. The first one had a lot of mystery, deception and action, while the second one took all of that and expanded it to another level of aliens and action. Aliens is almost a non-stop action film, with a crazy and intense plot behind it. It's almost genius, this film and it takes a lot of potential to make a movie like this one. Yes, the special effects were pretty funny, but in all, none of that matters since the movie was so damn good. It's violent, and it's gritty and if you were watching this with your girlfriend, you'd get a lot of freaks and scares from her. It's intense, and brilliant. It's still a wonder to me on how James Cameron to do this film, and then to something like Titanic eleven years later.
