Not a masterpiece of a movie in my opinion. But I am not an expert reviewer or movie critic.
but for me, it was enjoyable to watch. Particularly impressed with Michael Fasbender’s performance.
But I’d say the movie won’t likely be a cult classic like the original Aliens and would not watch this one a second time.

A great quality blu-ray
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 February 2021Verified Purchase
This is how a blu-ray disk of a movie should look like!
Got both the Theatrical and the Extended Edition of the movie, 3 different quality english dubs, four foreign language dubs, a commentary by the director and members of the production team, got separate deleted scenes as well of course.

Surely one of the very best scifi films of all time
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 September 2020Verified Purchase
I love this film. It is an artistic portrayal of good versus evil from a female point of view. It was made in 1986, long before it became cool to have strong female leads in every movie for no particular reason.
The strong themes in Aliens are morherhood, courage and team work. This is the full version of the movie including scenes that were not in the cinematic release. These extra scenes help to add depth to the story.
The writing is just so good it's hard to find any fault with. Ten stars.

Dare I say, better than the original...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 May 2015Verified Purchase
It is rare for an sequel to be better than the original, that’s not to say the original was lacking in any way - most definitely not. But this sequel is an absolute corker; typically James Cameron. The action is non-stop and the scary bits (there’s a lot of ’em) are gripping. Brilliant brilliant brilliant! Need I say more… Well yes I do. This should have been the last Alien movie in my opinion as the others just didn't do it for me. Neill Blomkamp, rumoured to be working on a script for a new film in the Alien franchise, said that his sequel will disregard the events of 1992's Alien 3 and 1997's Alien: Resurrection. I'll drink to that.

The Talented Ellen Ripley
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 October 2012Verified Purchase
Aliens is a perfect film. After it was over I felt exhausted, as though I'd been running alongside Ellen Ripley. This is, in my opinion, James Cameron's best movie, closely followed by Terminator 2. The special effects and look of the film are awesome - every shot is absurdly rich - but they're backed up by magnificent storytelling which equals Alien's. Some of the same twists from Ridley Scott's movie are used, though Cameron tweaks them just enough so that we don't see them coming.
Sigourney Weaver is back, and this time around she's less naive, becoming an action hero who's not concerned about protocol. She's spent 57 years cryogenically frozen, drifting through space, and is distraught to learn that her daughter has since grown up, lived and died during her absence. She's picked up and woken by a salvage crew, then told about a colony which has been established on the planet where the aliens were found. They've since lost contact with the colony, and Ripley is sent as an adviser to join a bunch of marines in investigating what's happened.
In hindsight the marines could be seen as less malign precursors to Avatar's soldiers. Of those that are developed Bill Paxton plays Hudson, a petulant private, Jenette Goldstein is Vasquez, a butch shooter, and Michael Biehn is Hicks, a squad leader who grows close to Ripley (first Sarah Connor, then Ellen Ripley; Biehn got through the 80s sci-fi heroines). There's also an android (Lance Henriksen) who Ripley naturally distrusts, and Burke (Paul Reiser) a representative of the corporation that invested in the colony.
When they arrive on the planet they discover Newt (Carrie Henn), a young girl who escaped the aliens by hiding in the air ducts. She's of course traumatised, but is brought out of herself and comforted by Ripley. Their bonding is the film's emotional core, and in a way Newt serves the same purpose as Ripley's cat in Alien: she softens her, giving her something to risk herself for. Given that Newt is a child, not an animal, and Ripley's own daughter is dead, that raises the stakes. Henn gives a strong, realistic performance and her character's development was compelling. Weaver as Ripley is more confident and world-weary here. In Alien she felt slightly naive, uncertain, and at one point tried denying crewmates access to the ship in case they introduced a threat. Aliens' Ripley is more of a humanitarian, and disobeys orders so she can save her colleagues.
Though it does have similarities, Aliens is very different to Alien, which Ridley Scott compared to Ten Little Indians. Alien was a slower paced psychological horror story, while Aliens is pure pulp sci-fi. It tells an action packed tale filled with much larger aliens who do unspeakable things to the colonists and crawl about looking for fresh meat, their acid blood oozing from their horrible mouths. Aliens is, quite simply, a masterpiece, and one of the best films ever made.

Alien and Aliens are the best Alien movies of the whole
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 January 2015Verified Purchase
Alien and Aliens are the best Alien movies of the whole. I have seen 1,2,3,4 etc but I only ordered for 1 and 2 cos it's got the best tastes. So IMO if you just get number 1 and 2, nothing more then u have bought the best ones possibly in term of Alien movies and sufficiently.
number 1 is the beginning and only one Alien, a new thing to everybody. Number 2 is a war between humans and aliens.
2 and half hours of brilliant film also if you check out picture gallery in Special features - you will think how talent James Cameron is. How good he made it into the film cos when you watch the film, it looks like they made it out of in the space and on other planet. Its made in 1986, not 2015.
speedy delivery too.
