Far better than Independence Day

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2009)

I watched Aliens for the first time yesterday...and I have not watched any other of the series.
However I have also watched Independence Day on the same day...and all I can say is that Aliens is by far a much better movie in all aspects.
Both are space movies and both have to go into your beyond belief stage of realism, but this move blows ID4 away by leaps and bounds.
This movie was made on a far smaller budget and gets far better results.
I am waiting to see the next Alien movie in the series and even though I owned them all, I never saw them.
They seem pretty interesting now.
