The quality of movie that we all expected from the later "Alien" movies but never got.

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2020)

If you haven't seen "Aliens" yet, know that you're in for quite a treat. The story making is superb, so much so it even exceeds the original film. Cameron's at his very best here, and so is hollywood movie-making for that matter. And to judge from most of Cameron's later movies ("Titanic" and "Avatar" aside) you sort of get the idea that maybe he was told to just ratchet down the scary-good movie making a notch and quit raising the bar so high for everybody else.
I can't say anything that somebody else hasn't said in their review by now, except that I wish there were more movies like this, and it makes me sad to realize that more movies of this caliber are and will be rare and far between, probably forevermore.
