James Cameron takes on the world of Alien by directing the sequel "Aliens". Jeremy gives you his review of the iconic (and last great) chapter of the Alien movies.

i prefer alien for it's atmosphere it creates, but i prefer aliens for doing what a good sequel should and BUILD AND EXPAND the franchise, not just rehash the first movie. so i respect the first one for sort of being a horror in space classic, while i respect the second one for being an action film with REALLY intense moments... so i guess i can say i love them both equally for what they are

The three most badass women in cinema (not in order, because choosing is impossible for me):
-Ellen Ripley
-Sarah Connor
-Imperator Furiosa

Alien is an atmospheric horror film.

Aliens is an intense action horror film.

And they're both fantastic. Whether one is better depends on your flavor.

Imagine if Ripley and Sarah Connor team up... That would be awesome!

[PreacherMan]

Aliens is not just the best Alien film, it is also one of the best movies of all time!

I know a badass woman besides ripley in this movie. VASQUEZ

I have no hesitation in calling Aliens one of the greatest movies of all time. It might be my favorite.

I once had a dream as a child where I am in my bed hiding from a Xenomorph and i see from the tiny opening I made with my blanket the xenomorph standing in front of my door and then proceeding the slowly walk towards me. Upon reaching me it then opens its mouth and then I woke up. That was when Aliens became one of my favorite movies.

I'm an Alien guy. Aliens is pretty cool with awesome action, but Alien is one of the creepiest movies I've ever seen and is one of my favorite sci-fi horror movies of all-time.

That scene with the motion tracker and the aliens in the ceiling still sends chills down my spine, as much as the original film.

[FireTiger]

Aliens is the best action movie ever!
Aliens is the best movie of the 80's!
Aliens is the film by which all other action/sci-fi films are measured!
Aliens is my favorite film ever!
Aliens...is...Aliens!!!

"Aliens" is one of those movies you can rewatch every damn night for an entire summer break. Alien is more one of those movies you rewatch once every 3-4 years. I like both, but Aliens is the best thriller-action movie of all time in my opinion.

Just rewatched this movie in honor of Bill Paxton. Went right here looking for this review. Thankfully, it exists. RIP Bill Paxton!

[chippertoddshow]

Aliens is one of my favorite movies of all time and I think Ripley is one of the best written film characters of all time.

[BlueScarabGuy]

I honestly think I like them both equally. I watched Alien again about a week ago, and I came off it saying "this is the best Alien film". Then I watched Aliens last night, and now I'm thinking Aliens is better. So, I think that ends up meaning that they're equally good, because they're two different kinds of movie.

On a side note, I would say that Aliens still, to this day, has some of the most convincing special effects ever, mostly because there is absolutely no CGI, and the miniatures, suits, and puppets are of such a ridiculously high quality, you can't really tell that they're not real.

Oh I'm an Aliens > Alien guy, both are excellent movies though.  The next two for me don't exist.  She and Newt live peacefully after escaping and that's how I shall remember it.

[cobaltfalcon]

Alien, but Aliens is magnificent, and close to topping Alien

[quinnobropta]

I thought you said "they found that little girl nude" and I was like
woah, Jeremy, my man

[Gakusangi]

I know people won't like the answer, but I gotta say I'm neither one over the other, they're tones are so different that I can't really pick.  In the way of Sci-Fi Horror, I'm totally an Alien guy and in the way of Sci-Fi Action...I'm tied between Aliens and the first Predator movie XD

Funny story: one of my professors told me the story about how she went to see this in theaters. She had her popcorn and Pepsi. During one of the suspenseful scenes, her friend tapped her on the shoulder. Cue my professor screaming, throwing popcorn and Pepsi everywhere.
