Great Sequel

Rating: Null/10 (3 October 2004)

Aliens is a brilliant sequel to the hit movie Alien, James Cameron has done brilliantly with this film and manages well not to spoil the series.After 57 years of hypersleep Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) awakes in a gateway station in outer space to realize that lv-426 has been populated with over 70 families there, and the administrators don't realize that they are not the only species up there with them on the planet.Ripley is sent up with a team of marines with persuasion, to try and rescue as many civilians as possible and orders unknown to the rest of the crew for Burke(Paul Reiser)to bring back an alien specimen back with them.Aliens features a good cast of actors and marines with attitude. Cameron gives the natural marine characters you might find in real marine squad with The smart one the wise one and also the jackass one which is Hudson(Bill Paxton).I think that Cameron has done an excellent job here to even raise the number of Alien fans.
