It would 100% be James Camerons Aliens. Sequals are generally rather meh but for the two sequals Cameron has provided us with they have both been 10/10 (other being T2 of course). I literally watch this film 5 times maybey more a year. There will unfortunately never be a Sci Fi film like this one again due to the modern era of over the top CGI.

WOW, just wow. I remember watching this movie when i was a kid and, man did it freak me out. I just watched it again (2018) and i can't believe what a piece of garbage this is. There are sooooo many plot holes, cringe worthy scenes, and just utter disregard to reality. Yes this is a si-fy movie but MAN did they jump the shark! I just can't believe that this movie was praised at all. There are scenes where Cameron decided to "intensify" the action, with NO APPARENT reason!!!!! If its just me than ok. but please re-watch it. It will put this movie in a new perspective

Throughout ALIENS, never once are you left wondering if the action is over. The suspense the movie evokes into one is uncommon from an 80's film. There are a plethora of reasons as to why James Cameron's film was such a hit, and many times have they been pointed out. The acting by Weaver and Paxton were phenomenal, and yes the suspense the Xenomorph can induce is petrifying, but one thing that does not get mentioned often is the tale that the story really tells.ALIENS is an action movie, and within that, it tells a story of survival. Many say that the film is a story of an invasion gone wrong, but they would be the ones in the wrong. ALIENS is a film where one crew of space marines and Ellen Ripley are sent to defend the human race. The movie is not portrayed that way, but underneath it all, had Ripley not done what she did, the fate of humans could have been forever changed. ALIENS is not a glorification of war, it is instead the opposite. It demonstrates the horrors of war, but also provides evidence as to why violence is necessary at times.Through all the blood and acid, the takeaway from ALIENS is not a story of aggression gone wrong, but a final stand in which the human race was victorious. The story line of ALIENS is due to the direct actions of ALIEN, but that is for another review. ALIENS was not intended to be a film that approved of unnecessary force, it was a film that showed how the human race survived through self defense.

This has got to be so far the WORST in the series. I am split on this and Alien 3 on which one is worse. First of all there is a cat. I hate cats, deal with it! 2nd is Bill Paxtons WORST role in film. I cannot believe they made an embarrassment of the talent he has in this film. It is one of the cheesiest scifi movies I have EVER seen and I refuse to add it with my blu ray collection. The whole time I watched this I was hoping the cat would get eaten by an alien but nope! The acting was so cheesy I thought I was watching a low budget scifi film the whole time. This installment is pure trash and is def on my top 10 horrible films of all time! Save your brain and eyes from absorbing this terrible peice of cinema. I am so glad I didn't catch this in theaters as I would demand a refund. All copies of this should be burned and I would rather watch the Star Wars holiday special than endure the time I lost of my life watching this. What on earth was James Cameron thinking!!!!?
