In this sequel to the non-plural installment of the series, Ripley, believe it or not, is back, and this time, she arms herself with some big guns & with an even bigger attitude of instead of squaring off against just one alien, she's taking on a whole hive full of them. And their momma too. And these aliens in question are the xenomorphs, a hive-race of deadly double-mouthed acid-blooded slick black visitors who tend to take the role of their hosts quite literally. For me, this 2nd. chapter to the Aliens saga is the high point of a franchise that features what is, IMO, one of the most unique & simply bad-ass alien life-forms ever produced for film. This movie has everything that I look forward to in a sci-fi adventure. Suspenseful action, solid story, distinct character...Read more

I absolutely cherish this film!!!

I can't remember a time in my life where this has let me down. I've watched it close to a thousand times and enjoy it thoroughly everytime.

The introduction of the USCM is one of its crowning achievements. The galaxy's most bad ass hombres to ever sail the cosmos. It is an utter shame though they only debut and star in this film.

Alien was superior for its horror connotations but Aliens manages to compliment the series with a spectacular action flick.

One of the greatest science fiction films of all time. Some of the most memorable hard arses ever to grace the big screen. The ultimate in interplanetary house cleaning equipment is shipped off to a doomed colonial planet with which contact has recently been lost.

Cue a testosterone filled pitched battle with the most ferocious alien species in the universe ending with a heroic last stand and desperate rescue attempt as Ripley rampages into the bowels of an alien hive to rescue the last surviving colonial girl on the planet. Non-stop tension, action and humour throughout. These were the days.
