Quite possibly, the greatest film ever...

Very few sequel's ever surpass the original, but what James Cameron surely did was do just that. Although Ridley Scott's Classic was one of the best I have ever seen, Aliens has and always will remain my most favorite.

A highly intelligent storyline, excellent effects, and one Bitch of all aliens in the form of the deadly alien Queen. From the moment it begins you are taken on a chilling action packed ride into a part of movie history, and a true example of greatness.

With great performances from Sigourney Weaver, Lance Henriksen, Bill Paxton, and the brilliant, Michael Biehn, the action and intensity is tripled from that of its predecessor. Made for only $18 million, what you get is a Sci-Fi action movie that is more than a match for anything that has been made since. It has been copied and imitated so many times, but nothing can compare.

A film no movie collection should ever be without, and no fan should ever forget. One of the best ever.
