One Of The Best Science-Fiction Movies Ever Made

Rating: 9/10 (3 June 2006)

I've been a fan of 'Aliens' since I was pretty young, and unlike many other movies you end up liking less when you get older, 'Aliens' still stands as the same roller-coaster freakshow now as it was then. The monsters are huge, slimy, angry, and as awesome-looking as it gets. The casting is perfect, the weapons are just plain sweet (gotta love the flame-thrower!), and the film is never boring, even with its lengthy running time. The film isn't dated at all, and is still intense and realistic. It's tough to decide whether 'Aliens' or the original 'Alien' is superior, so I prefer to break it down this way: 'Alien' is the superior horror film, and 'Aliens' is the superior action film. There's just no comparing the two--they're in practically different genres. Plop in 'Aliens' and enjoy!
