An epic SF/action film that has yet to be bettered...

Rating: 10/10 (26 October 1998)

Aliens must be my favorite movie of all time (I think I've seen it at least 30 times), and I still can't get enough of it. Sigourney Weaver is superb as the leading action heroine. I also liked Michael Biehn (as Hicks), Jenette Goldstein (as kick-ass Vasquez), and especially Bill Paxton (for his over the top macho performance as Hudson). This is truly a ground breaking film in that it uses all the elements of film making perfectly into a sensational mix of nonstop action and SF/horror. Get ready for the time of your life in the final hour of the film. I got my hands on the Director's cut a couple of years ago, and it is truly awesome! In the mighty genre of SF/action this film has yet to be bettered.
