Send in the Marines

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2000)

Aliens is one of the best Sci-Fi movies ever made. After losing communications with colonists on a distant planet, Ripley (Weaver) joins a group of tough space marines to investigate, but to their surprise the colony has been turned into a deadly alien hive. Though Alien was more of a horror movie, Aliens is action-packed Sci-Fi adventures that delivers plenty of action and excitement. The cast is great. Sigourney Weaver is terrific as the determined and heroic Ripley and Bill Paxton steals the show as the cowardly but funny space marine Hudson. The action sequences are spectacular. The battle between Ripley and the Alien Queen was amazing and exciting. James Cameron has created a sequel that is even better than the original.
