Review of Aliens (1986) by Smithy S — 05 Jul 2018
One of the best sequels of all time. While some of the purity of the prior film may have been traded off, the resulting product more than makes up for it with its thrilling action, larger stakes, and increased emphasis on writing and characters. Some dated special effects are easily overlooked in this truly amazing finale of the iconic Ellen Ripley's arc.
Newcomers beware: the extended director's cut is the only true way to watch this movie. Also, don't bother with Alien 3 or Alien: Resurrection. This is the true final chapter and the attempted sequels to it are a disgrace.
