What can I say? This movie was thrilling, and was ahead of its time.

With an impressive and thrilling storytelling, James Cameron knew exactly how to keep Alien's humanity and cleverness. There's no way this new sequel for Scott's classic can't be a classic.

Straight up it is one of the best science fiction action films ever made and stands up today against just about anything else made before or after it. Notable quotes and great action paired with characters I liked and hated to see die.

Where a copy of the original would have gone wrong completely, this takes a great horror movie and turns into a gripping action story with remarkably memorable characters, gripping dialogue, and ramps up the horror to eleven.

I watched this movie so often and still get tensed,when I see it again. The horror to survive in a spaceship with an alien, that is far strong than everyone else on the ship is perfect. This was the birth of a legendary franchise.

Aliens kicks so much ass. The effects are incredible, the characters are very likable, and the Oscar-nominated performance given by Sigourney Weaver is one that set the standard for ass-kicking women in movies.

Awesome movie. A good film mixed with scary sci-fi and deadly action. Mysteries build up in the discoveries and you feel that you are part of the group of humans and you are about to die. 8.4/10

I guess the new fad during Covid 19 is that old classics are showing up here, so here's another 10. But on a real note Aliens destroys Alien in every way, shape and form. Just like how T2 destroys The Terminator.

1/10th the budget of most movies these days. 10 times the "Hell Yeah!" as most movies these days. James Cameron really raised the bar on this one.

"Aliens" is nevertheless a amazing film that beats its prequel. It has the same tense moments, but director James Cameron even skillfully added blockbuster components, making "Aliens" a more braver and bolder film then its prequel.

Most entertaining movie ever. Simply. And probably the better from James Cameron. Sigourney Weaver is an awesome actress, the action scenes are amazing, the alien creature is truly horrific.

Not as good as first film but still good. Acting solid, plotting mostly engaging but less thrilling.

Showcasing Weaver and bringing an action orientated feel and a different dynamic to the cat and mouse ambiance the original so brilliantly captured means this is arguably the better out of the two. Arguably.

How do you do a followup to a classic like Alien? GIve it to James Cameron to amp it up to 10 with a bazillion aliens and a fantastic performance by Sigourney Reaver.

Rewatched it recently on BD and it was fantastic. This sequel to an already great movie is my favorite in the series. Unlike first movie this one is action packed. Cheesy acting, fantastic atmosphere and story.

James Cameron delivers the goods as he ups the ante in the follow-up to Ridley Scotts masterpiece. Taking place 87 years after the original, Ripley must now face those horrible monsters on a colony. Oodles of fun.

An amazing Action/Science Fiction/Horror film that has amazing screenplay, impressive special effects for the time, and great camera work. Aliens manages to even improve on the original.

Siempre he escuchado decir que Aliens es mejor que su predecesora, en lo personal no le llega ni a la sombra, no es una mala película, al contrario es una de las mejores, pero decir que supera a la primera Alien no estoy de acuerdo.
