Fifty-seven years after surviving an apocalyptic attack aboard her space vessel by merciless space creatures, Officer Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) awakens from hyper-sleep and tries to warn anyone who will listen about the predators.

Critics Consensus: While Alien was a marvel of slow-building, atmospheric tension, Aliens packs a much more visceral punch, and features a typically strong performance from Sigourney Weaver.

Reviews

Fresh

It is a far more traditional exercise in scaring and thrilling the moviegoer; essentially, it re-constitutes the war movie, and in so soing marries a feminist Rambo to Star Wars.

An extremely ambitious sequel that took a pretty sacred first film and built upon it in the most satisfying way. It’s a fantastic sci-fi movie. It’s a fantastic action movie. It’s a fantastic horror movie.

The Friendship Dilemma Podcast

Fresh

A masterclass across multiple genres that is, unarguably, one of the greatest sequels and, even, films of all-time.

It is in its simplest form a fight between two mothers over their children to me, given the genre and the time in which the film was made thats rather remarkable.

Deep Focus Review

Fresh

If more filmmakers took Cameron's approach to sequel-making, Hollywood's franchises might not seem so dull and homogenized today.
