Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
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.
More of a sci-fi/action this time around, it's a squad of fully armed marines against a bunch of aliens. Also Ripley gets to kick some major ass. And it's just as awesome as it sounds! The marines all have different personalities and are quite memorable. Great special effects and numerous quotable lines, help to make this one of the best sci-fi/action movies, and also one of the best sequels ever made!
Okay, so in the 80's, a character like Ripley could earn one an Oscar Nomination, but today, a character like The Matrix's Trinity and especially Katniss Everdeen, will never even bring you close to a Nomination, when Sigourney's performance was satisfactory to be fair, playing a type of character very similar to the above mentioned and not even as well? This of course isn't Aliens' fault, but I feel it adds to the acclaim that it garnered.I have no problem with Aliens, except for the fact that, to be honest, it was an almost frame by frame replica of Alien, except a larger everything, from cast to explosions, to a greater population of well, the very same aliens, with them attacking the same way, being beaten the same way and the suspense being executed, the exact same way.Also, because of the carbon copy, the series quite literally couldn't progress. The only thing further we now know is that, there is a "queen alien". But, where do they come from? Why and how are they on LV426? What inhabited the planet before their arrival? What are these aliens? What's their agenda? What happened to their planet/home? All these questions, with an entire 2 hrs 30 minutes addressing non of them and rehashing what Ridley had already covered.The effects are excellent, and yes, Cameron is an accomplished, world renowned director, and respected in all corners of the world, however, Cameron in this case just copy pasted Scott's work, with a bigger budget. The film itself is done well, but the vision is redone, well.I really, and truly want to love this film and series, but in this particular installment, it's incredibly difficult to ignore Cameron's major shortcoming. From there, this movie also had it's own problems, as well as its own successes, and ultimately, it was a film well made, albeit it, a film remade. 6/10.
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
