	Aliens (1986 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aliens is a 1986 science fiction movie directed by James Cameron and starring Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, Lance Henriksen, Carrie Henn, Bill Paxton and Paul Reiser.
		In the film, the M-41A was portrayed as a compact, angular assault rifle with an impressive rate of fire, using 10mm caseless explosive-point ammunition.
		Aliens was part of a wave of films that defied the common assumption that futuristic guns and weapons would be variations on energy beam firing devices such as lasers, plasma or particle emitters; most notably the blaster weapons of Star Wars or the multisetting stun/kill/vaporize beam of the often imitated Star Trek phaser.

	Aliens (1986 movie)
		Aliens is a 1986 science fiction/horror movie starring Sigourney Weaver.
		In this film, Ripley, the only human survivor of the Nostromo, is rescued from space and drafted to assist a squad of Marines investigating an outpost that may have been overrun by the aliens.
		This film is considered interesting by many critics for the feminist sub-texts that run through it.

	Alien (film) - QuickSeek Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Aliens, while they reside in a country, are subject to its laws and not to those of their home country, except in cases of extraterritoriality jurisdiction.
		The eponymous alien creature, a lethal predator with consistently exotic abilities and physical attributes, reproduces by parasitizing living victims with embryos; or by transmuting them directly into the early alien reproductive stages (egg and facehugger) through unknown means.
		The film presents a version of birth that might seem almost empathetic with that of the woman's experience: the alien bursting from Kane's chest is reflective of the intense pain that a woman experiences during natural child birth (a birth without anesthesia).

	MMI Special Report: Alien Goes Queer Film Festival in Stockholm, Sweden (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		All four of the Alien films were shown with a queer analysis of the character of Ripley played by Sigourney Weaver.
		In Alien Ridley Scott's film made in 1979 the point was made for how is it possible for Ripley to squash aliens from left to right, take command of her ship but in the end of the film be displayed in minibikini underwear.
		It is quite clear there is room for more alien film and with Sigourney Weaver as executive producer there is no doubt she will look for more ways to invent herself on the borderline of heterosexuality-- not quite queer nor exactly human.

	Classic-Horror Review of Aliens (1986)
		Aliens has some of those problems, as I mentioned, but it's such an intense, gripping work of cinematic breadth and power that it overcomes its surface flaws like a spectacular, physics-defying roller coaster that just happens to be painted with pink polka dots and loaded with speakers blasting pan flute music.
		At the beginning of Aliens, we see a great pan across the interior of her "lifeboat" ship, the Narcissus, that is a direct quote of the beginning of Alien.
		Aliens is still a 1950's-styled monster movie at heart, but the genre-bending works to its advantage, and Cameron has created one of the best sequels to a well-liked film in any genre.

	Aliens: Special Edition (1986)
		Her account of the Alien and the fate of her crew are received with skepticism - until the mysterious disappearance of colonists on LV-426 lead her to join a team of high-tech colonial marines sent in to investigate.
		This film demanded the most of her; whereas all of them asked her to react to events and to become a leader, Aliens was the only one that required such a strong emotional commitment from Weaver, since she forms such a tight bond with surrogate daughter Newt.
		Cameron has supervised three extended versions of his films: Aliens was first in December 1991, followed by The Abyss in March 1993, and Terminator 2 in November 1993.

	Aliens Review (1986) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Given that Aliens is a sci-fi film made in the mid-80s, it’s remarkable how little James Cameron’s thunderous sequel has dated.
		It was his second film, The Terminator, that revealed his talents as a director of intensely exciting action, making Arnold Schwarzenegger a star along the way.
		Aliens was that rare thing, a sequel as good as the original, while if The Abyss was an overambitious flop, then 1991's Terminator 2: Judgment Day was a superbly realised action epic featuring groundbreaking use of CGI.

		Aliens is one of the most dynamic, viscerally exciting movies of the decade and, as a bug-fest, remained unsurpassed until the glorious Starship Troopers in 1997.
		This film is truely mind blowing and despite its associations with the first film, this film is difficult to compare with the first one.
		Aliens was a complete hit at the time it was released at the cinema almost a quarter of a century ago.

		He followed a highly regarded science fiction horror film with a sequel that lives up to it.
		Aliens has more action and adrenaline and less horror than the original, but is no less of a gripping and downright exhausting experience.
		The film is, thus, a noteworthy accomplishment in the science fiction, horror, and action genres.

		The Aliens are matched to blurred motion within the frame to help establish the Aliens supernatural speed and strength.
		Both are angry: Ripley is angry because her “daughter” was taken away, and the Queen is angry because her eggs and offspring are in danger from Ripley, the unwelcome guest.
		They are common and universal among people; even if the viewer is skeptical about aliens or in the mise-en-scene of the film, the viewer will still be affected by primal fears such as: tight claustrophobic places, darkness, lack of clear vision, water, fire, nightmares, and the anxiety of an unknown environment.

		It becomes clear that a confrontation between Ripley and the alien mother is inevitable.
		Aliens is a shoot-'em-up action film, with some of the horror of the prequel thrown in, but it is also something more.
		A female action hero was practically unheard of before Aliens, but Cameron took the risk, and the result was that Sigourney Weaver earned an Oscar nomination for her performance.

		Aliens is simply that rare animal, a sequel that is better than the original.
		As for the inclusion of the 20 mins of 'lost footage', I think it enhances the film and gives the viewer some insight into the lost colonists which was lacking on the original release of the film.
		The film is set about 50 years later, where Ripley has been drifting through space, until she is found by an Earth spacestation.

		This film combines great action with a very solid and engaging script, that evolves not only the Alien creature but the character of Ripley as well.

		Aliens is one of the few cases of a sequel that far surpassed the original.
		Few films raise the blood pressure such as this one does as James Cameron and crew crafted a film that excels in all points, from intense suspense to breakneck pace in action.
		"Aliens" of course stars Sigourney Weaver in the role that has made her a household name and her performance for this film is extraordinary to say the least.

	Aliens
		Produced by Kenner Toys in 1992, this line of action figures featured characters from the 1986 film "Aliens" and the unused script to "Alien 3".
		Origionally, "Alien 3" was to feature Space Marines battling to reclaim earth from the aliens, and was also to feature alien-animal hybrids such as a Bull Alien and a Gorilla Alien.
		However, Sigorney Weaver agreed to appear in "Alien 3" only if they discarded that script, and thus the alien-animal hybrids never actually appeared in the film.

	Aliens: Director's Cut (review)
		The laserdisc transfer of "Aliens" is an absolutely accurate rendition of what appeared on-screen during the film's 1986 theatrical release.
		As has been documented in several film magazines at the time of the film's release, many scenes required the use of a special light-sensitive film stock that allowed for shooting in extreme low light situations.
		The grain is caused when the film stock tries to compensate for and distinguish between the barely-available light and the surrounding fl areas.

	9/4/03: Not Even Nominated Part Seven
		The film was a delight, much superior to many of the studio's later, bigger hits, and featured one of Mancini's last great scores, deftly supporting the action (especially during the exciting finale) and buoyed by a delightful main theme.
		David Lynch's first film after the boxoffice and critical failure of Dune proved to be arguably his greatest film, a wonderfully inventive and disturbing erotic mystery which is as deeply strange as any of Lynch's films but most effective because it pretends to be a normal movie.
		Legend was released in the U.S. in the spring of 1986.

		Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), the sole survivor from the original ALIEN, is awakened after 57 years of drifting through space, her stories disbelieved by Company executives who tell her that the alien’s planet is now inhabited and colonized.
		"Aliens is an exercise in film craftsmanship that has rarely been equaled in the twelve years since its release."
		"Aliens never strives to be as accomplished as the original, but it’s wit and turbo-charged battles make it a wild and electric ride, one with the best replay value of the franchise."
