(MOVIE REVIEW) ALIENS (1986)

Since Netflix still has not worked out their problems with my queue, I ended up getting Aliens (Alien 2) in the mail this weekend before Alien. Oh well. The show must go on!

Storyline: It has been over 50 years since the events that took place with Ripley and her last encounter with the aliens. As a salvage ship finds Ripley in here escape pod, they wake her and inform her that the savage planet that her crew previously encountered is currently being teraformed to make it habitable for sustaining life. When the ship can’t contact the planet they decide to investigate, but when the alien menace that Ripley warned them about begins to bring down the new team they must find a way to escape the planet while keeping the aliens from escaping.


Thoughts? It's a really strong movie. I watched the extended cut (2:30+) and thought that it added a lot to the story. The aliens are one of those onscreen villains that will always scare the hell out of me...and rightfully so. Awesome villains, awesome characters, awesome director, and awesome story.

If you have never watched it...DO IT!
