Best Sci-fi Action/Horror movie ever IMHO

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2018)

Aliens achieves that often elusive goal of creating a compelling sequel, which not only expands upon the world setting and character arc of the original movie and it's protagonist, but also takes the series into new genre territory. Aliens has been described as a Viet Nam war movie in space, and this is an accurate thematic analogy.
Not only does it provide a very different feel, by switching the genre from the Monster/Sci-fi Horror of Alien to Sci-fi/Action/War, but it also adds exciting new elements to the Alien mythos, such as the introduction of the Queen Alien, which remains one of the best monster designs in movie history.
