The pinnacle of sci-fi horror...

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2002)

Aliens is a movie which has captivated me since I was a child seeing it in the theater. It has the rare (and these days, ever the more rare) ability to envelop you to the point that you forget about yourself and actually enter the movie. For those two hours plus (see the special edition if you haven't!) it is complete escapism into a survival drama rivaled by no other. The characters are all cast wonderfully, the script is first rate, the direction and editing are tight, and the scenery is engrossing. My faorite film of the sci-fi/horror genre.
