One of the best films of the 80's!

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2000)

James Francis Cameron's Aliens is his best film to date (besides a couple of Terminating exceptions). It combines an original (though duplicated 6 years later) story with wam bam action that takes time to start, but once it does, it doesn't stop. Cameron is a great director of action films, and this proves it.
The tale is about Ripley- Sigourney Weaver (sole survivor of the ship that was attacked by an Alien) who after 57 years of laying dormant (she went into cryno-sleep) must go with a group of soldiers to investigate strange doings on the same planet with the gestating Alien. But this time, there are many to go around, and once it starts, it just doesn't stop (including a startling ending). Better than the first, this film co-written and directed by Jim Cameron is a great example of the sci-fi thriller and will hopefully stay around for a long time.
"Get away from her you bitch!" Damn right. A++
