RIDLEY SCOTT: what if I were to make an upsetting and claustrophobic horror movie set in deep space where the only thing as terrifying as a bloodthirsty alien is man’s desire to play god JAMES CAMERON: what if a alien take a elevator

Sugama lovedAliensHab you seen an alien pls? 👽 This was pretty epic ngl! I do not use that term lightly☝️ i wasn’t sure I was gonna be a fan of this franchise but I’m kinda in deep now after this one especially for the time it was made too INCREDIBLE EFFECTS. I mean gosh the aliens are unbelievable
Jack O'Connor likedAliensGreat sequel. More really good worldbuilding. The cringe part for me was mainly the highly typecast military people. But Ripley is still absolutely killing it. Makes you root for her wholeheartedly.

rating: 👽👽👽👽👽 again like lowkey a perfect movie and as a sequel?! it goes crazy. insanely james cameron. quite literally a mother-off. found out that they kill newt off in the next one cause a writer though she was annoying. when i catch you…
bean likedAliensThis was good, but the first one had a better story. Queen Alien (single mother) stays producing eggs, then loses the entirety of her offspring to a flamethrower and then an explosion. Then she gets sucked into space. Rest in peace.
BigBickBandit lovedAliensYou would not believe what they thought of next. More aliens this time.
- Cyclical likedAliens
In my opinion, this is definitely stronger than the first movie. While the first movie built up the atmosphere really well but failed to pay it off for me because of the lackluster special effects, this movie essentially did the opposite. The Xenomorphs look SO much better in this movie, and their…
Vicente Zavala likedAliensTough decision to say I didn’t “love” it, but there were a few factors… Sigourney Weaver was still amazing, but the writing for the rest of the cast was terrible, this felt like a Predator movie at some points. The plot didn’t lose me, but the emphasis on explosions was annoying.
Theo Dislaire likedAliensVous aimez les aliens du premier mais il vous manquait un peu plus d’action, Cameron vous a compris ! Il est temps de prendre vos armes et de découvrir sa lecture full pétard ! Attention on n’oublie pas les personnages bien écrits et des scènes cultes : gros film ! 🥚 Top : 1/7

Metacritic
Though Aliens is unable to eschew some obvious sci-fi conventions and those of other genres as well, it brings a fresh and lively spirit to this tired cinematic clime. Scene to scene, encounter to encounter, its tension builds unrelentingly. So, fasten your seat belts. It`s a blast.
Rick Kogan
Chicago Tribune
Aliens is one of the most intensely shocking films to open in ages: Even if you think you've got the stamina for cinematic suspense, you may find yourself out in the lobby, midway, catching your breath. This film is also the best monster movie of the year and the best picture of any kind to open so far this summer. Put it another way: Aliens is the Jaws of the '80s.
Jay Boyar
Orlando Sentinel
But of all the film's choices, the best was Weaver. She's its white-hot core, given fine, irascible dialogue to come blazing out of that patrician mouth, and the chance to look, for a moment, like a space-dusted Sleeping Beauty in her hyper-sleep casket.
