An excellent sequel! It mainly an action film, and the plot lacks the mysteriousness and plot twist due to character shifts (the android in this film stays loyal) of the original. Lots of shooting and explosions. The humour is minor, and…

Excellent sequel to Alien....the action never ends until the very end. Nice to see the Android is a good guy in this movie...unlike in Alien. ha

Amazing sequel to the original, which contains full of suspense. This sequel appears action-packed. As the only returning cast member, Sigourney Weaver acts superbly as Lt. Ellen Ripley---one of the all-time badass movie heroines. Bill…

The successful follow up to ' Alien ', directed by Canadian James Cameron, this is is a slow burn sequel that ends in a nail biting finale.

5/5 Aliens (1986), directed by James Cameron (Alita: Battle Angel, The Terminator), is a sequel to the classic 1979 science-fiction horror film Alien which was directed by Ridley Scott (The Martian, Matchstick Men). Aliens stars…

Watch the 1991 special edition which includes a deleted scene about Ripley's daughter.

My favorite in the Alien franchise. I love all the characters in this movie and how they interact. I would watch this even without the threat of alien annihilation!

A great sci-fi movie. I always like watching this. This version has some added footage that wasn't in the original release, so you get some more back story.

This is a good show with great acting, cool technology and of course great alien special effects. This show has suspense leaving you wondering what’s going to happen next! Besides the weird fact that even though they have advanced…

Apples and oranges to the first film; before, it was a lone creature hunting down a group of miners just trying to survive. This time, it's war as a group of trained marines fight back against a horde of the aliens. But under the gunfire…

One of the very few times that a sequel can be said to be better than the original. MUST see this movie with all the extra footage that was taken out at the theaters. Extra footage really makes a difference for this film and explains…

Acid-bleeding aliens are out to kill humans and protect their queen.

I find myself saying this quite a bit lately, but when I reach back to a film I haven’t seen in a long time, I’m rarely disappointed in revisiting it. It is still timeless because it’s so well done. The big, boxy computers and a few…

A classic. Still good watching after all these years. (Deserves the M rating.) People I know that don't like scifi, and don't like action movies still love this scifi action movie. Pure class.

Just about the best movie with horror, science fiction & kickass action. Why not a strong female as the lead? Good call on average looking Paul Reiser to play the slimy corporate executive.

It's interesting to compare Ridley Scott's "Alien" to James Cameron's sequel. Both are extremely well made films, from world class directors. But each also reflects the very different sensibilities of the two. "Alien" is colder, more…

Just saw director's cut again on 100" screen home theater setup. The action and sound was just as intense as I remember seeing in the theater so many years ago as characters and monsters come alive full size. For its time period it's a…

[So sad that Bill Paxton passed away, his professional acting ability and talents will be sorely missed as he brought so much to each and every movie and entertainment venue he performed in - - his acting in this was outstanding, and…

I won't deny that this sequel was truly exceptional. And, yes, I'll even go so far as to say that Aliens could easily be viewed as being superior to the original. I mean - There's not many sequels out there (in any genre) that could boast…

Still can't believe Paul Reiser didn't warn the people before letting them set up there

Contrary to the norm, this sequl is better directed and is more polished than the original. James Cameron lets his female lead shine yet again!

As sequels go, this movie is the Cinderella story. It is the rarity that not only doesn't suck on its own but also doesn't suck when compared to the original. I'd put them on even footing. This movie gave us a different side to Ripley…
