	Aliens - Rotten Tomatoes
		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.
		Where Alien was largely a gothic horror flick, packed with suspense, Aliens is an action adventure, loaded with thrills.
		Aliens is an exercise in film craftsmanship that has rarely been equaled in the twelve years since its release.

		Aliens is a 1986 science fiction horror movie starring Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, Lance Henriksen, Carrie Henn, Bill Paxton and Paul Reiser.
		Arriving at LV-426, Ripley and her companions soon discover that the aliens have overrun the colony and that all the settlers are apparently dead.
		When Newt is captured by the aliens, Ripley must risk her own life to try and rescue the child and escape from the planet before the colony is "sterilized" by a nuclear explosion.

	Aliens (1986) - mistakes, nitpicks, trivia, locations
		At the beginning of the movie, when the shuttle door is cut through, the markings and lettering on the transparent cover of Ripley's (Sigourney Weaver) suspended animation pod are different from those that were on it when she went to sleep at the end of Alien.
		Between the making of Alien and Aliens the original set of the shuttle was lost/stolen/sold for firewood, so the new one had to be built from scratch.
		Of course the alien killed her friends/crewmates and nearly killed her in Alien and she's not happy about that, but her protectiveness toward Newt and the reckless way she fights the aliens make far more sense in the later version of the film, so try and see that version rather than the earlier one.

	Aliens review (1986) - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
		Debates may rage on as to whether Aliens is actually a better film than Alien, and I'm of two minds myself on it myself, but regardless of the conclusion, one thing is clear -- they are both exemplary works of science fiction cinema.
		Ripley (Weaver, Ghostbusters) started off Alien as your average woman who is thrust into bravery out of necessity, and this trend continues, seeing her go the distance in becoming a full-fledged soldier in doing what's right (from a humanistic point of view).
		Aliens is absolutely must-see for anyone who has seen Alien, and both films are essential viewing to anyone who enjoys science fiction and horror.

		In the 1986 movie Aliens, Ripley and a team of marines used the motion tracker to locate and track deadly aliens on their mission to save any remaining survivors of a human colony.
		The sonar pulse sound and warning pings simulate the sound effects used in the movie when aliens were detected by the device.
		At the time the movie was filmed the technology to build a working monitor small enough to fit in the prop was not readily available to prop designers.

		Unlike Alien, where one xenomorph was intent on wiping out a crew of seven (although he only got six), Aliens has a crew of marines against a horde of aliens.
		The aliens have taken over the terraforming colony on LV-426, the planet where the xenomorph species was encountered in Alien.

	Aliens (1986 movie) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Directed by James Cameron from a story written by him, David Giler and Walter Hill, the film is more a high-paced, action adventure than the tense sci-fi horror of the first film.
		The story adds much to the overall mythos of the series, including Cameron's introduction of an "alien queen" to the creatures' life cycle, and introduces the character of the android Bishop, the only character except Ripley to appear in more than one movie in the series(not counting ripley's cat).
		It has been pointed out by some critics that Aliens works as an allegory of the Vietnam War, in that an overly confident military finds itself in a quagmire battling an unseen opponent they cannot comprehend.

		Alien is a terrific movie, but the best stuff is in the first half of the film.
		After being her ship's sole survivor from an encounter with one of the alien creatures in the first film, Ripley (Weaver) is found 57 years later (they don't age in those neat sleeping tubes).
		Anyway, after dealing with some bureaucratic bs about how she ended up blowing up her ship, she is needed again: the colony where the first alien was picked up has lost contact with the outside world, and they need Ripley to go in with a group of tough as nails marines as a consultant.

		During the production of Alien in 1979, the toy company Kenner, having already flourished with its phenomenally successful Star Wars lines of toys, elected to jump at the opportunity to manufacture merchandise for this yet to be finished movie.
		Oddly enough, the R-rating and the fact that the movie was not aimed at children didn't seem to stop Kenner in the late 80's, following the release of the 1986 movie Aliens.
		Thankfully for Alien fans, the franchise shows no signs of letting up in the near future, with a new movie in the works, new merchandise, and a growing fan base.

		She is talked into going to the planet with a highly trained team of marines to investigate.
		Aliens combines the sheer horror of the original along with more gung-ho action and excitement to create arguably the best sci-fi/action/horror film ever.
		Cameron also opts to show us a little more about their "society" so now we understand that they aren't just relentless killing machines, but they are just doing what they need to do to survive as well.

		Suspense wise, Alien is the better movie, but for pure bang for your buck entertainment, Aliens is the clear leader.
		Acting in the movie was good enough to earn Sigourney Weaver an Academy Award nomination for her performance.

		Aliens is one of the few cases of a sequel that far surpassed the original.
		"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.
		The alien race is even less human as they seem to have stopped their bi-pedal locomotion from the first film in favor of a `crawl quickly along floor, wall or ceiling'.

		As the title of the film shows, this time there’s not just one alien on the rampage but instead there’s a whole horde of xenomorphs out to kill Sigourney Weaver and her companions.
		The most commanding presence in any Alien film will always be the xenomorphs themselves - fast and deadly they are one of the most intimidating species of monster in the history sci-fi film.
		The fact that it is principally an action movie with little real depth stops it from becoming one of the great sci-fi movies but it’s still a good piece of cinema.

		Reporting her story to The Company, she faces disbelief, being told that the planet where they encountered the alien is now an inhabited colony and nothing untoward has been reported.
		The shuttle is destroyed in the panic and Ripley and the handful of remaining marines are left trapped on the planet, surrounded by the aliens.
		The big climax with Weaver in clomping exo-skeletal waldo, facing off the giant mother alien on the edge of a depressurizing airlock, has an entire theatre on the edge of its seats.

	I-Mockery.com \| Movie Reviews
		Loosely following the horror conventions of the first movie for a time, this sci-fi action story starts off slowly, building up the atmosphere and the slowly mounting terror in Ripley as she realizes that the xenomorphs are crawling all over the planet.
		You don't even see any aliens for roughly an hour into the movie, but it never feels like the pace is dragging along, as you're kept constantly entertained by getting acquainted with the colonial space marines sent with Ripley to investigate the problem on LV-426 and eradicate any xenomorph infestation.
		The aliens in ALIENS had a much larger timeframe in which to build their hive, and many many many more host bodies for their young than could be reasonably found on board the USM Auriga.
