Jamie M This is back when sequels could be better than the original, such a great movie from start to finish. Cameron completely transports you to the colony in LV426 and inside the world of a living breathing alien nesting ground. The marines may have been a bit hammy but they were parodic enough of dumb overinflated jocks that it actually benefitted the story, especially when the aliens start picking them off and the only surviving is Hicks the nerdy, sensitive one and Paxton the witless, anxious one. Seems like jock bravado doesn't last the course against the Xenomorphs.You get absolutely invested in the characters in this one, from Ripley's relationship to the recently orphaned Newt who managed to survive the aliens longer than the tooled up marines, to the odious Carter Burke the mastermind company man trying to impregnate everyone to get his yearly bonus. I first watched at age 13 and in my 40s now and watched it recently for the umpteenth time, it hasn't aged at all, testament to the special effects team (NO CGI), and the cinematograpy. It might be the greatest sci-fi movie of all time, yes it is in fact. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Fred n Still one of the best movies I've watched...

An absolute thrilling ride in the alien franchise Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/10/24 Full Review Andy B Action, horror, great characters; it's got them all. One of the finest sequels ever made. The new 4K transfer- when it's good it's very good although it does have a tendency to highlight the weakness of some of the effects shots which sometimes just look a little too scrubbed and fake for their own good.
