Aliens (Special Edition) | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

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.

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.
