One of THE best films ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 2005)

It would be very wrong to compare this to Ridley Scott's astounding ALIEN. Although this is a sequel, the two films could not be more different. ALIEN was a terrific sci-fi horror. ALIENS is a tremendous sci-fi ACTON horror.
James Cameron is at his best in this film. He delivers a movie that hooks you right from the beginning until the very end and creates characters who you actually feel for; Hudson, the nervous but tough and sometimes funny soldier, his friend and second in command Hicks, a level headed, strong marine and last but not least, Ripley, the survivor of the first back to face her inner demons. I could go on forever about these and the other characters in this film.
Alien and ALiens are definitely the best in the series, sadly let down slightly bu Alien3 and the rough edged Resurrection. I wont even mention AVP!!!! If you want a film filled with action, suspense topped off with interesting characters and just general fun then look no further. this is truly a classic and remains timeless.
