Impressive sequel to Alien, Last hour is unbearably intense

Rating: Null/10 (19 February 2009)

James Cameron goes in an entirely new direction with this sequel . Rather than make a horror movie, 'Aliens' is an all out action movie. The film starts slowly and takes it's time to set things up. However, once the action begins there is no let up, with the final hour almost unbearably intense. Sigourney Weaver makes a great female action hero. The film lacks the slow horror of the first film and the characterizations aren't as well depicted. The Special Effects are very impressive and the production design and look of the aliens is worthy of praise. Highly recommended.
Overall 9/10
