Film Review - Aliens (1986)

Aliens is the second movie in the Alien series and stars Sigourney Weaver once again as Ellen Ripley, haunted by nightmares of the alien that destroyed her crew in the first film, this time nearly 60 years have past and she has to return with a squad of marines after a colony loses contact, but when they get there, they’ll need all the help they can get.


I’ll keep this one short and sweet, Aliens is one of the most exhilarating experiences I have ever had watching a film, director James Cameron really knows how to direct action scenes and the Alien effects by the late Stan Winston are very cool to watch as well as some great dialogue, if there is a down side however it is the fact that it needs viewers to have watched the original film beforehand, so heed this advice.


All in all, this film deserves a firm 4 and a half out of 5.
