Aliens takes place after the events of Alien in which Ripley has been brought aboard a ship only to realize that she has been in hypersleep for 57 years. Unfortunatley for Ripley, She finds out that the planet she encountered the Alien on all those years ago is now inhabited by a small colony of Humans along with over 150 Aliens. In order to find survivors on LV-426, Ripley must join the military's Colonial Marines unit to try and end the nightmare once and for all.
The film is in many ways different to it's predeccessor for the fact that this title is more Action than Horror and has a really good effect visually considering the year of it's release. The score is fantastic as it creates a very eerie feel as if you were actually in space being hunted by this creature. The Dialogue features some of the funniest lines you would ever imagine in a sci-fi flick aswell as Ripley's famous line " Get away from her you Bitch". The casting of this film is amazing with Sigourney Weaver (Ghostbusters) reprising her role as Ellen Ripley along with a whole new cast including Michael Bhien (The Terminator), Bill Paxton (Twister), Lance Henrikksen (Alien vs. Predator) & Jenette Goldstein (Titanic) to name a few. All in all, This is probably my favourite film of the franchise just because it has the perfect mix of everything however the first one is a close second. Look out for my review of Alien within the next week and look out for reviews for the AVP films, Alien 3 & Alien 4 within the next month.*****
