Review of Aliens (1986) by Timone — 24 Oct 2018

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! No wonder why I'm even experiencing Alien in general. Aliens however is an example of thrill-fest. James Cameron had to direct it and I gotta say, he's one of my favourite directors. Sure Gale Anne Hurd had to work with him just like The Terminator and the sequel Judgment Day.

Sigourney Weaver is back as Ellen Ripley and a whole cast are out to face the aliens in the movie called Aliens. Do I even need to tell you how scary it is? It is scarier as each other. Okay, not AS scary though but I think Ridley Scott's version is scary.

Now it's all action and horror and the aliens don't even come after an hour. All right, previously on Alien, Ripley is asleep on a ship and one of the men here had to bring her to the hospital and she had a nightmare about meeting the president (which I didn't know) named Burke played by Paul Reiser and has an alien inside her.

But she knows it was just a dream. Now she has to join the army to face those vicious looking aliens in the quarantine. There's some good cast in this like Michael Biehn, Bill Paxton, Lance Henriksen and many more.

Lance Henriksen's character, Bishop is kind of an android, Michael Biehn's character, Hicks is a shooter of Aliens and Bill Paxton's character, Hudson is dumb, tough like Hicks and he can cracks some one-liners.

Course, Paul Reiser's character, Burke doesn't have guns, he's the expert of an alien situation. There are some scenes when Ripley and the soldiers getting ready like in the war and you have a sergeant telling them to move it like killers.

That is an awesome scene. I'm sure you can get a fun out of this thrill ride and get horrified by the look of the aliens the way they move and the way they hide like walls. Now that's the scary part! Still it is awesome when you think about it.

If it wasn't awesome when you've playing a videogame from it and get horrified from the aliens and die! I don't know about you but I think Burke is the one who let those people die from impregnation from the aliens.

So they will have to find the aliens with the thingy-midgigy to know where they are but they're on the ceiling and take them down. The child named Newt who is the survivor got kidnapped by an alien and now Ripley has to find her and escape from the alien fortress of the alien queen which I think the scene is scary as hell.

Where Ripley and Newt is in the fortress where the alien queen lives and where she lays eggs. But the scariest part for me is that when she wakes up she and her aliens are here kill Ripley and Newt but Ripley flamethrows the eggs and escapes.

That is the scary but quiet moment. But now the mission is over which is not because Bishop got stabbed by the alien queen making him covered in white blood and Ripley uses the mechanical thing and says the memorable line which I think Dad said before she said it is ''Get away from her, you b£$%h!'' Woaho! I couldn't believe it! So the alien queen is dead, all the aliens are dead, the soldiers are dead apart from Dwayne Hicks and Ripley, Newt and Bishop are safe and sound.

Now let me talk about the toughest one for me and that's Bill Paxton. Bill Paxton died this year which is kind of depressing much like all celebrity deaths from complications of heart surgery in February 2017.

No wonder what is world coming to. He did say a line which I think I've heard from a videogame called Splashdown 2 Rides Gone Wild where Andy Pierce says the line called ''Game over, man. It's game over!'' and when I find out as an teenager, Bill had said it.

And this time he says: ''That's it, man. Game over, man. Game over! What the f£$k are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do?'' Sigourney Weaver's acting is just phenomenal. I mean, when you look at her acting, this is the kind of actress who really does serious roles really well, and yeah I know other actors and actresses do it.

But when you look at the film in acting-wise, that is the purpose of the movie that will keep you interest and they will do it well. The directing from James Cameron is just fantastic no matter what. The spacial effects on the aliens are so fantastic and great especially the backgrounds which I've noticed are done pretty well.

But I think this is the only action horror movie that will have an Oscar nomination for Best Actress from Sigourney Weaver which is an impressive move and an impressive feat. Trust me, if I ever watch the Oscars that will have a nomination for Best Action Film and Best Horror Film, this will be the perfect example.

Fantastic movie, fantastic effects and also fantastic film making from Gale Anne Hurd and James Cameron.
