Aliens is actually a brilliant movie and it's honestly a masterpiece and a half. The movie's got a brilliant story, which is about this lass called Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) who's sent back to the planet LV-426 to fix the contact with a terraforming colony.

However, when Ripley and her team get there, she later bumps into the Alien Queen and her offspring, the team have got to fight the Alien Queen and her offspring to survive. The acting from all of the main characters throughout this movie is all honestly brilliant and non of the actors/actresses feel out of character at any moment in this movie.

The dialogue which is given and received from each character throughout this movie is honestly all very strong dialogue and non of the dialogue feels forced in any sort of way.

Also, the cinematography which was done by Adrian Biddle is honestly beautiful. He captures every single moment so well and especially the action scenes, he does such a great job on capturing these moments so well.

The action scenes throughout this movie are all honestly brilliant and they all work so well. Most of the action scenes hold up pretty well because they mainly used practical effects for them.

The movie's even got a beautiful soundtrack which was composed by James Horner. He did such a great job on composing such a beautiful soundtrack for this movie and the soundtrack is used so amazingly throughout this movie.

Finally, the pacing throughout this movie is honestly brilliant, every moment is built up very well with the pacing. While, non of the scenes which end up happening throughout this movie aren't built up badly.

The movie's even got some great emotions with the characters throughout this movie. They're also very well built up with the amazing pacing which this movie's got.

The design of the Aliens throughout this movie have got a very scaly, vicious and a very deadly look to them, which really adds to them as a creature throughout this movie.

Overall, Aliens is a brilliant movie and it's honestly a masterpiece and a half. The movie's got a brilliant story, brilliant acting, very strong dialogue, beautiful cinematography, brilliant action scenes, a beautiful soundtrack, brilliant pacing, great emotions and some very vicious looking Aliens.

I'd honestly recommend everyone to watch this movie straight after watching Alien because you'll honestly enjoy this one as much as Alien (1979). It's honestly worth the watch if you enjoyed the first one or if you just enjoy watching Action/Horror movie's, this is the movie for you.
