Review of Aliens (1986) by Nickthecritick — 12 Nov 2021
James Cameron's Aliens is one the best sequels in cinema history. It is nearly as good as Ridley Scott's Alien of course and if Scott's movie is a masterpiece, this one comes very close. Cameron here puts aside what you have seen in the first film but without upsetting everything.
While Scott's film had a thriller imprint in fact the alien was one only and you could only see it at the end of the movie. Here Cameron shoots a real action movie set in space actually. The Aliens multiply and the action scenes that see our astronauts fighting against the Xenomorphs are many and are all masterfully directed.
