They mostly come out at night... mostly

Rating: 9/10 (6 June 2019)

"Get away from her you B****" you might not know where it's come from but I bet a majority of you have said the quote once in your lifetime?
Aliens is the second film in the ever growing Xenothrope Universe and with that it did not suffer the sequel curse, in fact many believe (including myself) that it was better than Alien which was a tough act to follow. James Cameron brings a whole different side to Aliens, where Alien was based on a ship with one of the creatures hunting them, Aliens sees the best that the humans have to offer vs a whole colony/nest of Aliens. They're doomed from the start!
Reprising her role as Ripley, Sigourney Weaver delivers another Phenomenal performance, this time hardened by her experience. When the marines don't listen to her and end up getting massacred it's up to Ripley to save the day, and save the day she does! the film also introduces Lance Henriksonn as Bishop, the super calm Android with the knife hand trick, we all know that!! Michael Bhien is the heroic Corporal Hicks, who isn't turn ends up being Ripley'a love interest...
Considering that this film came out in 1984, it still stands tall with the films of today. It has spawned many other titles from it including video games, spin offs, satires and almost everyone knows the "they mostly come out at night... mostly" quote. The special effects are on point, the Aliens themselves are terrifying and the face huggers still put fear into people to this day! Well they do to me anyway, the film isn't just one genre, it's a Sci Fi thriller with action packed horror! Basically a no nonsense masterpiece!!
This film is so influential that the video game Halo based its marines off of it and got in a bit of trouble for copying the dialogue.
If you're looking for pure cinematic entertainment then look no further!!
