The definition of space action-horror

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2016)

This is a reference for so many other movies, and still my all-time favourite next to the first one.
James Cameron re-invents space sci-fi right here, apparently he didn't go for expensive state of the art (at the time) special effects for this movie either. He accomplishes the thrill by very fast moving scenes when the aliens are present; obviously the suspense and thrill from the creature(s) is set-up by Ridley Scott and the design of H.R. Giger. But what Cameron does with it is awesome and inspired the future of space action-horror for many other artists, developers and cineasts.
The only thing I would advise for watching this movie is watching the first one before this, the tension will be so much higher if you have a background on the most important cast member(s).
