Console best movie i've ever seen.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

debbieg-03269 Sequel to Scott's horror sci-fi masterpiece Alien is James Cameron's Aliens- a very well made 2nd chapter in the Alien saga which replaces creepy horror with all out action involving marines and machine guns. At the end of Alien Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) was found floating in a pod. Upon her rescue by Weyland Yutani(the corporation that screwed her and her fellow crew members in Alien) she is told that there is already a terraforming colony on LV214(the space jockey planet) but contact has been lost for some time. She involuntarily agrees to join the team to go have a look. What follows is a fight to death between a bunch of marines and the evil Xenomorphs. Aliens is different in style and tone to Alien and that's a great thing. One of the few sequels that work so well.

Torrin-McFinn77 I watched this movie on VHS a long time ago and I still have the tape. As a sci-fi action buff this is the movie that started the whole armed forces versus the alien threat theme. They did it in Doom (albeit with demons), they did it in Duke Nukem, and they even did it in StarCraft. And it's got James Cameron, also responsible for Terminator and Avatar.Sigourney Weaver returns as Ellen Ripley and it's her job to confront her fears regarding the alien threat. With the help of the armed forces, it's up to her to battle the source of the extraterrestrial monstrosities. Who will survive? Who will not? All that will be answered eventually.As Hudson would say, "How do I get out of this chickens--- outfit?"

Ilana Fino Aliens is a classic Sci-Fi film that has reached viewers and been loved in many ways.

Fallen Eye Okay, so in the 80's, a character like Ripley could earn one an Oscar Nomination, but today, a character like The Matrix's Trinity and especially Katniss Everdeen, will never even bring you close to a Nomination, when Sigourney's performance was satisfactory to be fair, playing a type of character very similar to the above mentioned and not even as well? This of course isn't Aliens' fault, but I feel it adds to the acclaim that it garnered.I have no problem with Aliens, except for the fact that, to be honest, it was an almost frame by frame replica of Alien, except a larger everything, from cast to explosions, to a greater population of well, the very same aliens, with them attacking the same way, being beaten the same way and the suspense being executed, the exact same way.Also, because of the carbon copy, the series quite literally couldn't progress. The only thing further we now know is that, there is a "queen alien". But, where do they come from? Why and how are they on LV426? What inhabited the planet before their arrival? What are these aliens? What's their agenda? What happened to their planet/home? All these questions, with an entire 2 hrs 30 minutes addressing non of them and rehashing what Ridley had already covered.The effects are excellent, and yes, Cameron is an accomplished, world renowned director, and respected in all corners of the world, however, Cameron in this case just copy pasted Scott's work, with a bigger budget. The film itself is done well, but the vision is redone, well.I really, and truly want to love this film and series, but in this particular installment, it's incredibly difficult to ignore Cameron's major shortcoming. From there, this movie also had it's own problems, as well as its own successes, and ultimately, it was a film well made, albeit it, a film remade. 6/10.
