    Evolution aside, there are some wonderful images in Aliens of the Deep, even if the crew members say how much they love their jobs about six times too often.

    The final shot, in particular, is awesome, and confirms that the sooner Cameron gets back to making proper movies, instead of Boys’ Own diversions, the better.

    I was bored out of my mind throughout this movie. I understand they had to make the movie longer, but the commentarywas amazingly boring.
