This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Aliens is one of my favorite movies. From the very first time i saw on the television as one of those few feature films aired on public television i was captivated by it. The movie is huge and a worthy sequel to the thriller "Alien." How huge is the movie? Even today we still have video games being made based on the movie universe.
I recommend you watch the Special edition of Aliens that adds around 15 minutes of the movie that helps a bit in establishing the plot and the nuance of the universe. Although the theatrical cut is better in term of pacing.
The movie expands from the original Alien and now makes it more about human vs aliens survival story. What would happen if you have horde of aliens against you and not just one. It's incredible. The special effect still holds up because they weren't CG, but they were real life props and they look believable. It isn't perfect though, there are some shots where you notice how dated the special effect looked, but it's minor nitpick.
Next is the superb casting. Sigourney Weaver is just incredible. That elevator scene, you know what i'm talking about, she's so bad ass against all odd. The rest of the casts are excellent. Henriksen is awesome as Bishop, Paxton character is so funny and quoteable, the Newt girl is also awesome and didn't annoy me as much. Unfortunately, Michael Biehn isn't very noticeable in the movie since Weaver just stole every spotlight in the movie. She's that awesome.
All in all, i really like the movie. Growing up i was captivated by it, and now as an adult, i could appreciate the movie more as an iconic film with huge impact to the popular culture,and i'm very thankful to James Cameron for directing this movie.… Expand

Aliens however is an example of thrill-fest. James Cameron had to direct it and I gotta say, he's one of my favourite directors. Sure Gale Anne Hurd had to work with him just like The Terminator and the sequel Judgment Day. Sigourney Weaver is back as Ellen Ripley and a whole cast are out to face the aliens in the movie called Aliens. Do I even need to tell you how scary it is? It is scarier as each other. Okay, not AS scary though but I think Ridley Scott's version is scary. Now it's all action and horror and the aliens don't even come after an hour. All right, previously on Alien, Ripley is asleep on a ship and one of the men here had to bring her to the hospital and she had a nightmare about meeting the president (which I didn't know) named Burke played by Paul Reiser and has an alien inside her. But she knows it was just a dream. Now she has to join the army to face those vicious looking aliens in the quarantine. There's some good cast in this like Michael Biehn, Bill Paxton, Lance Henriksen and many more. Lance Henriksen's character, Bishop is kind of an android, Michael Biehn's character, Hicks is a shooter of Aliens and Bill Paxton's character, Hudson is dumb, tough like Hicks and he can cracks some one-liners. Course, Paul Reiser's character, Burke doesn't have guns, he's the expert of an alien situation. There are some scenes when Ripley and the soldiers getting ready like in the war and you have a sergeant telling them to move it like killers. That is an awesome scene. I'm sure you can get a fun out of this thrill ride and get horrified by the look of the aliens the way they move and the way they hide like walls. Now that's the scary part! Still it is awesome when you think about it. If it wasn't awesome when you've playing a videogame from it and get horrified from the aliens and die! I don't know about you but I think Burke is the one who let those people die from impregnation from the aliens. So they will have to find the aliens with the thingy-midgigy to know where they are but they're on the ceiling and take them down. The child named Newt who is the survivor got kidnapped by an alien and now Ripley has to find her and escape from the alien fortress of the alien queen which I think the scene is scary as hell. Where Ripley and Newt is in the fortress where the alien queen lives and where she lays eggs. But the scariest part for me is that when she wakes up she and her aliens are here kill Ripley and Newt but Ripley flamethrows the eggs and escapes. That is the scary but quiet moment. But now the mission is over which is not because Bishop got stabbed by the alien queen making him covered in white blood and Ripley uses the mechanical thing and says the memorable line which I think Dad said before she said it is ''Get away from her, you b£$%h!'' Woaho! I couldn't believe it! So the alien queen is dead, all the aliens are dead, the soldiers are dead apart from Dwayne Hicks and Ripley, Newt and Bishop are safe and sound. Now let me talk about the toughest one for me and that's Bill Paxton. Bill Paxton died this year which is kind of depressing much like all celebrity deaths from complications of heart surgery in February 2017. No wonder what is world coming to. He did say a line which I think I've heard from a videogame called Splashdown 2 Rides Gone Wild where Andy Pierce says the line called ''Game over, man. It's game over!'' and when I find out as an teenager, Bill had said it. And this time he says: ''That's it, man. Game over, man. Game over! What the f£$k are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do?'' Sigourney Weaver's acting is just phenomenal. I mean, when you look at her acting, this is the kind of actress who really does serious roles really well, and yeah I know other actors and actresses do it. But when you look at the film in acting-wise, that is the purpose of the movie that will keep you interest and they will do it well. The directing from James Cameron is just fantastic no matter what. The spacial effects on the aliens are so fantastic and great especially the backgrounds which I've noticed are done pretty well. But I think this is the only action horror movie that will have an Oscar nomination for Best Actress from Sigourney Weaver which is an impressive move and an impressive feat. Trust me, if I ever watch the Oscars that will have a nomination for Best Action Film and Best Horror Film, this will be the perfect example. Fantastic movie, fantastic effects and also fantastic film making from Gale Anne Hurd and James Cameron.… Expand

My Review This is one ofThey mostly come at night,mostly
Plot/Summary57 years after the original attack, Ripley and a crew of marines return to the planet to kill the remaining aliens that have slaughtered the colonists on the planet.
My Review
This is one of those movies that, whenever we find it on cable, no matter w
hat part is on, we can't help but tune in. There is too much awesomeness in this movie to identify just one reason why Cameron's 1986 sequel to Ridley Scott's Alien works as well as it does.

Aliens continues the story of the number one cause of hurtin' for chicks named "Ripley." It adds a new layer to the Alien's biological cycle, introducing an Alien Queen and ? in doing so ? one of the big screen's best and scariest villains. The hit sequel is a bullet of a movie that packs the perfect amount of character development, horror and action into a story that could have been thread-bare in a lesser craftsman's hands.

Ripley's return to LV-426, the planet where she first encountered the alien, is now home to a shake-n-bake colony of families and workers, which is basically ringing the dinner bell for the xenomorphs to prove that, in space, everyone can hear you scream if you die loud enough.

Ripley joins an elite group of Colonial Marines sent on a bug hunt, and they quickly find that neither flame thrower nor bug-eyed troopers by way of Hudson are a match for things that bleed acid and sweat slime. Cameron's decision to keep Ripley and Newt as the emotional core of the movie makes the increasing threats around them all the more conducive putting us on the edge of our seats.

That, coupled with the Power Loader vs. Alien Queen showdown, underscored by James Horner's epic score, is why Aliens is not just a great Cameron film, but one of the best movies ever made.… Expand

From same director of Terminator and Titanic, an effective, heart-pounding sequel of 1979 movie. The action sequences are non-stop and dynamic, so the final act. Siguorney Weaver looks more bold than prevoius episode.

NOTE: I watched the Special Edition of the film, what the creators believe to be the true version of it, so there may be things I talk about in this review that aren't featured in the original cut.
Aliens was released in 1986 and was directedNOTE: I watched the Special Edition of the film, what the creators believe to be the true version of it, so there may be things I talk about in this review that aren't featured in the original cut.
Aliens was released in 1986 and was directed by James Cameron. The movie follows on from the events of 1979's Alien where the heroine Ellen Ripley wakes up from cryogenic sleep many years in the future and tries to explain her alien encounter story. When contact is lost from the now-colonized origin planet of the aliens, Ripley agrees to go with the marines to overcome her fears.
This film did indeed surprise me. I definitely was expecting it to be great but when I finished it I was quite surprised to believe that I actually liked this one more than the first which was something I wasn't expecting. This is one of the rare instances where the sequel is nearly as good as/as good as/better than it's predecessor and the amount of effort put into the film was impressive. This could've easily been a cash-grab film but the amount of effort put in shows how much respect James Cameron had for the source material and also how much the actors cared about it and wanted to make a worthy sequel and their enthusiasm for the project definitely added up to it being an amazing film along with all the other great things about it.
Something I love about this film is that it is very different to the first and offers a completely new experience rather than just revisiting plot elemnts of the original again. As well as being refreshingly different, it expanded on knowledge we learnt in the first much more too.
Ripley's character was developed much more in this film and her inner struggles were shown too which made for a more complex and realistic character. For those of you who don't know, the Special Edition of this film is the original cut as the one that ended up in cinemas was a trimmed down version as people weren't expected to sit through 2 and a half hours. One of the parts cut from the cinema release was a background about Ripley's daughter who she obviously didn't spend much time with due to her cryogenic sleep and her sadness over this event added much more to her character and also something else I'll get onto in a minute.
I thought that Ripley's relationship with the young girl Newt was great and had much more of an impact in the Special Edition; as I mentioned a minute ago, in the Special Edition we find out about Ripley's sadness of not being able to see her daughter which makes her basically treat Newt like the daughter she wish she still had which added much more of an emotional connection to it and I'm surprised that the daughter sub-plot was originally cut.
All of the side-characters each added something to the story and their chemistry with each other made them feel like real people too. Their characters were well-written just like Ripley's crew in the original and you felt a sense of danger when they were in sticky situations.
Something the movie did very well was keeping the tense atmosphere of the original while adding much more to it like great action and great sets.
The practical effects are fantastic, especially for the time. The quality of them help capture a sense of realism to it too and really makes it feel like these characters are somewhere that actually exists.
Overall, I thought this was an amazing film and I have nothing but praise for it. My basic overview of the film is that it incorporates many similar elements to the original, expanding them to a much bigger spectacle while adding much more too and this is why I prefer it to the original. As I said earlier, these two films both offer different experiences, this one being an action film and the first being a thriller. It probably depends which genre you prefer to determine which movie you prefer but either way I would still highly recommend this film.

Seriously, my heart was pounding from the first shot to the ending credits as our characters suffered through terrible, frightening, disgusting confrontations, battles with these nightmarish, insect-like aliens. There is something in this movie so epic and memorable that I literally can't get bored of it. Also, I must praise the acting of Sigourney Weaver, who was great in Alien (1979), too, but has grown brilliant in this sequel that challenges her character so many different ways. Aliens is an intense, exciting action-horror but also a human drama and reflection on human values. A forever classic.… Expand

A white knuckle ride from start to finish. Often given as the example of when sequels out-do the original (although that can be argued).

Aliens' 2 1/2 run time never outstays its welcome as James Cameron smashes from one set piece to the next as we follow a rag tag bunch of marines with a reluctant Elen Ripley in toe as they head back to LV-426 from the first film to find out what the hell is going on down there.

This film absolutely rocks! It's script is snappy delivering endlessly quotable dialogue, the special effects still look awesome and the imagery designed by Giger still shocks and disgusts to this day. The cast features the standard Cameron recruits including an excellent Michael Biehn and Bill Paxton who arguably steals every scene he is in.

Aliens is a film that took its source material and revolutionised it acting as a framework for how movie sequels should be made. Not just a re-hash but a reimagining. It is a shame many film makers don't pay attention to the lessons learnt here.

For any science fiction fan this is mandatory viewing.… Expand

Aliens

Cameron is born for the sci-fi genre and he doesn't take this talent and aspiration for granted. As a result, what he has pulled off in here is almost impossible, living up to the expectation of an already cultural phenomenon, and for me, it exceeds the previous venture by Ridley Scott. And I only feel that it exceeds the expectations, is because it is incredibly difficult for the writer and director James Cameron to fill in on already infomercial pamphlet. And if you look at it properly, actually there is nothing new that he brings out plot wise in this chapter, it is another same adventure, they name it so unenthusiastically.

But it is the hypnotizing procedure of Cameron and self-realization of what it is. He is addressing the absurdity of the plot by not mocking it but acknowledging it seriously. And after the guns are loaded, premise set, his manipulation as a visual storyteller is extremely inspiring. Take the set pieces for instance. He has already painted these missions like some war invasion and with it he has drawn out the obligation over necessary elements.

Literally, unloading those responsibilities on his characters, he is stretching the claustrophobic and exhausting aspect of the job by confiding them in tiny set pieces. Most of the time, the set pieces are really small or are either have multiple characters roaming about, giving them less room to full flex their muscles and fight at their will. And even if he puts them on big pieces, he is focusing on their close up, where they are sweating and worn out by this whole fiasco. Mind you, Cameron hasn't even touched the fictional part of his storyline and you are already vulnerable. Aliens remains a classic, for no one after this focused on the day to day issues that human behavior exerts on each other; which is more horrifying than anything.… Expand

Excellent practical effects for the Xenomorphs in the movie, the Alien Queen. She is the biggest puppet ever made for a film and required several people to operate, creating a terrifying creature in the process.

The soundtrack is suspenseful, and James Honer did an amazing job with this!

James Cameron did a FANTASTIC job working on a movie, and being a writer of this movie! It has astounding and funny catchphrases such as Game Over, Man! Game Over!.
Sigourney Weaver is WAY awesome, even powerful than he was, in the first movie.

It is so amazing, that it's one of the best sci-fi and ''Alien'' movies, of all time, if not so.

We will follow up to ''Alien 3'', and ''Alien'' Resurrection soon.

Perhaps one of less than 50 movies to perhaps better the seminal first eerie and claustraphobic 'Alien' franchise...this sequel sees the Xenomorphs infest a mining colony.
SUPERB MOVIE 9.999/10

'Aliens' - love the creativity, guys! - is a minute jot off the original but it remains a thoroughly enjoyable film - despite a slightly longer run time, which pleasantly doesn't hamper events. Sigourney Weaver is terrific again; I can see why these films launched her career.

I will say parts of this 1986 flick are a tad repetitive from the original and a few bits are predictable, e.g. the arcs of Lance Henriksen's Bishop and Paul Reiser's Carter, but when judged overall it's another entertaining release from this franchise.

I look forward to seeing if they made it a hat-trick with 'Alien³'.… Expand

Aliens is a sci-fi action more than a horror although it might scare kids.. Aliens was directed in 1986 by James Cameron who brought us The Terminator and Terminator 2....... Aliens see's the return of Sigourney Weaver from the original andAliens is a sci-fi action more than a horror although it might scare kids.. Aliens was directed in 1986 by James Cameron who brought us The Terminator and Terminator 2....... Aliens see's the return of Sigourney Weaver from the original and she's teamed up with a group of elite high tech colonial marines to blast the alien creatures to hell. Full of violence, gore, explosions, gunfire, humour and bad language I'd say Aliens pretty much hits the spot and delivers but even though it's one of the best films ever made in film history and I think highly of it it's still not as good as Alien which is the original but it's still pretty good. Aliens also stars Michael Biehn, William Hope, Bill Paxton and other cast members...… Expand

In my opinion I think this is one of those cases were the sequels are better than the original.

One of the greatest sequels of all time.
Along with Terminator, Aliens is James Cameron's finest moment in cinema.

Una segunda parte que supera a su antecesora. Una pena que el creador de la primera parte este empeñado en destruir la saga.

Jeglicher Horror und Spannung wird durch die schiere Überzahl an offensichtlich leicht zu beseitigenden Aliens im Keim erstickt. Einzig das gut gestaltete Umgebungsdesign lässt noch einen Hauch der Qualität erahnen, die 7 Jahre zuvor auf den Bildschirmen zu sehen war.

Dennoch gute schauspielerische Leistung und grandioses Sounddesign… Expand

A masterclass in crafting the perfect sequel. James Cameron keeps what made Alien so special, expands on the world and introduces action to the horror element....and it's flawless. Absolute must see!

A ton of fun to watch, Aliens is intense from front to back, both building on and surpassing the previous entry.

I can't understand why people love so much this dumb action movie (it has the same score as the original Alien, which is a masterpiece, WTF!). Also, I hate the fake metal devices that looks like cardboard.
