Description (by producer & GT in English only) :
The terror continues as Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) returns to Earth after drifting through space in hypersleep for 57 years. Although her story about the Alien encounter is met with skepticism, she agrees to accompany a team of high-tech marines back to LV-426… and this time it’s war!

Superior sequel to "Alien" with more action for its bang with Weaver the sole-survivor of the Nostromo who awakens from a 57 yr coma to find herself facing an army of aliens on a recently human populated planet with death and destruction surrounding her and the ragtag Marines escorting led by Biehn, corporate weasel Reiser, knuckle-headed Paxton ("Game Over Man!") and "synthetic" Henriksen who steals the movie in its anti-climax. Henn as the lone survivor Newt is cute and stoic and genuinely perfect when face-to-face with the alien. Great job by director James Cameron and the fx guys (Best Oscar Visual Effects). Weaver won an Oscar nomination for Best Actress (the first for a science fiction/horror film ever).

As I said a few days ago, I felt 1979's Alien owed a lot to the dark, brooding atmosphere created by its director, Ridley Scott. Aliens, James Cameron’s follow-up to that film, is a different matter altogether. This time out, its the aliens themselves who'll get your pulse pounding.

After surviving her run-in with the creature that invaded the Nostromo, Lt. Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) launched herself into space aboard an escape pod, set a course for earth, and placed herself in suspended animation for the extended journey home. Unfortunately, her trip would be much longer than she ever anticipated. Somewhere along the line, her pod drifted off course, floating through space for 57 years before being spotted by a passing freighter. While still getting over the shock that she's been asleep for nearly six decades, Ripley is further appalled to learn a human colony has since been established on the planet where she and her crew first encountered the deadly life form. When all communications with this colony are abruptly cut off, a team of specially trained marines is sent in to investigate, with Ripley tagging along as an adviser. Under the command of Lt. Gorman (William Hope) and Sgt. Apone (Al Matthews), the marines believe they're ready to face any eventuality, but Ripley alone realizes that, if the aliens have indeed returned, this mission is doomed before it ever has a chance to begin.



Cameron does manage to duplicate the intense mood that made Alien such a hair-raising experience, yet in this entry, the aliens overshadow all other aspects of the film. Not only are these creatures just as strong and intelligent as the one that attacked the Nostromo, but this time, they have the humans outnumbered. As the marines prepare for their assault on the colony’s main facility, Ripley knows (as do we) they have no idea what they’re going up against. Sure, these highly-trained soldiers are armed to the teeth. However, they’re also facing an adversary that cannot be take for granted, something the squad doesn’t realize until it’s much too late. This initial battle is absolutely spine-tingling, the first of many such thrills Aliens will ultimately throw our way.



In Alien, we got to know the monster; how it grows to maturity inside an unwilling host, how it bleeds acid, and how damned difficult it is to kill once it's loose. In that film, we watched a single one of these life forms tear an entire ship out from under its crew, and no matter what steps were taken to defeat it, the alien simply would not die. In Aliens, James Cameron shows us what an army of them is capable of, and by doing so transforms his movie into more than a mere sequel; by ratcheting the story up a notch, Aliens also becomes a natural progression of the creature’s mythology, and on this level, as well as every other it aspires to, Aliens does not disappoint.
