Definitive proof that sequels don't always suck

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2007)

In aliens, elen ripley is rescued by a military establishment that have sent colonies to lv246 (the planet on which the first alien came from). She joins them in their quest to reestablish contact after it is lost. However, the team are bombarded with monstrous aliens after finding a young girl called newt on board. Ellen makes a srtong bond with the youngster and vows to rescue her after she's kidnapped. And the ending is a complete rollecoaster of thrills and sheer horror.
Sigourney weaver was fantastic in this (well deserved Oscar nod), and the action was non-stop. I prefer this to the first, which is a huge achievement in my mind.
Watch aliens, you won't be disappointed.
