It has everything and I do mean everything

Rating: Null/10 (22 January 2005)

This movie is the master grab bag of the science fiction/horror genre. With all of the slow but engrossing tension of the first 'Alien' movie and all of the blistering action that an action film is supposed to have. It's designed to keep your stomach in knots from start to finish.
With all that he has accomplished up to and including the year 2004, including three Oscars for 1997's 'Titanic', this is still James Cameron's best film. Superior to the first film because the characters are developed to be more cherished to the audience while the first hour has all of the silence and slow burn that the original had without looking the same. The special effects are brilliant and can compete with all of today's computer technology and the effects do not look dated. Especially the monsters. They are as chilling as anything that Hollywood has ever put out.
