Pros: Everything, especially Sigourney Weaver
Cons: Not a thing.
This is my favorite movie of all time. A serious action flick, but one that is believable because instead of some dumb man blowing away countless people with no real justificatin or motivation as to why we get a woman who is motivated to extreme acts of bravery because of her mothering instinct. Ah, who cares for any intellectual bases for this movies's excellence; it just plain rocks.
Pros: Clear picture resolution, high quality sound
Cons: Uses 1.85 aspect ratio, not (superior) 2.35 ratio
One would think, with all the time, effort and expense involved in transferring this Sci-Fi masterpiece to DVD, James Cameron would have insisted on using the true-theater 2.35:1 widescreen aspect ratio, but instead, they used the outdated 1.85:1 aspect ratio which is only a minor improvement upon the cropped full-screen version.
Pros: ALL
Cons: NONe
this was the best movie ever. Buy the alien quadrilidgy when it comes in on dec. 2 !! aliens is the best in the series! im serious!
this is a good movie if you have seen the first (Alien). The actors give great action to the film.
There was only bimbo actresses and drama queens untill this movie came out. The final fight scene between Ripley and the Queen should be in every "Women in film" class taught. It was by far the best catfight ever.
The features really pointed out how James Cameron added so much to the series. I use to think he was a hack, but he has influenced even flims he wasn't directing. Examples included the 'mandibles' for "Predator" creature and being original director for Spiderman movie he basically recreated and rewrote Spiderman for film. As for best Aliens movie, they're all good. Yet this movie was the scariest as well as having one of the greatest fight scenes of all time.
i seen this movie so many times it gets better each time. i love the speshal afecs. they are the best i ever seen. the aliens look real. the hive was the coolist. the gus were even coller. i wish they would come out with a movie just like Aliens if u rent one movie or by a movie this year make it Aliens
I thought this was an excellent movie. It kept me on my toes since the beginning. There was only a slight confusion since I never saw the original Alien but that soon didn't matter once the plot evolved. I loved the special effects and the action was incredible. I give it 5 stars.
When aliens take over a mining colony...Sigourney Weaver dons her Rambo gear to send them back where they belong. Great special effects and story. Sigourney performance as Ripley was the catalist for future popular heroines (Xena, Buffy the Vampire, etc..)Great for any DVD collection.
Aliens was just as good if not better than the original. It takes its place as one
the best sequals ever made. The alarmingly
fast pace and outstanding action is what makes
this one different from the first. Alien
moved at a much slower pace. "not in a bad
way", just slower. Stan Winston's effects
spice it up big time. James Cameron directs
well,with a once again, great cast.
this is the grreatest film ever made, so much detail is put into the characters, set design, story...everything. i could go on foreverm go rent it, you'll love it.
the most exciting and scariest movie ive ever seen
Anyone who doesent LOVE this movie should be taken into a hive and fed to the Queen. My favorite movie of all time. rja_monteiro is a total moron. I hope an Alien bursts out of your chest
While the first film was sci-fi horror at its best, James Cameron followed it up with a non-stop action bloodfest of a sequel. Truly a must-have in your DVD collection.
BTW, rja_monteiro is an idiot for calling Aliens the weakest of the series. I hope some alien bursts out of his chest. That'll do us a great favor.
My favourite of the series by two hairs over #1. Both films rock! Love the director's cut on this one which punches up the film's suspense and intensity(impossible as that sounds). Get that if you can find it, well worth it. Superbly directed and acted with brooding intense scenery. Great action film! Just wish Paul Reiser did more dramatic roles, like ex-comic Tom Hanks, he's superb at drama.
This movie fell into a comercial kind of story. It tended to follow a very predictable path which, in a way, betrayed the whole idea of the aliens saga. This is the poorest among the 4 aliens movies and, in my opinion, the first (the best suspense i have ever seen) and the third (this movie is amazing...the director, the same who did seven, is indeed an artist) are much more interesting to follow. I guess, this movie is the perfect american movie...and i dont like perfection...i like it creative and outragious!
This, in my opinion has to be the greatest movie of all times. I have read the book over 100 times (really, I could almost quote it, and you should see how many of the pages have fallen out from wear, I'm ashamed of myself really I am, lol), I have watched the movie more times than I care to count. It never gets old, the cast is excellent!! It rocks!!
Best Sci-fi movie of all time other than StarWars, you don't believe me? check out the quotes. Perhaps one of the most quoted films with lines and sound effects. Definetely in StarCraft and in many user mods in Quake, UT, etc.
"Game over man! Game Over"
"Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken as a man? Nope, have you?"
"Express elevator to Hell, going down"
and so forth.
This is simply my favorite movie of all-time in sci-fi! This really kicked ass! I'm serious.. Don't believe me?? Okay, go see it for yourself on either DVD or VHS but I strongly recommend the DVD cuz of its amazing quality and sounds and visuals. Oh, my...
My wife is even afraid to watch this again after the 1st time! (LOL) But simply put, this movie was marvelous and I loved it! I know I talk a lot here but so what! This movie rocks!!!! Best of the series, indeed! I hope to see the 5th one but so far heard it's out of the works for now... Darn!
This is the best of the 4 in the series. It has everything. Monsters, warriors, heroin, comedy, and kick_a** action. You couldn't ask for a better effort from James Cameron. His Ripley simply put, "Rocks on all levels."
no thoughts about it, aliens is the best of all 4 sequels, most actions of all 4 and the queen just kicks butt
This movie is the best out of all the Alien movies. it is the best action movie that i have seen for along time. i would deffintly buy it.
this one does, and even exceeds in action if not suspense. Females rule in this one - both Ripley and Alien Queen.
