Description
The “s” at the end of its title is the first indication to how much grander “Aliens” is compared to “Alien.” Where Ridley Scott’s original was a confined monster movie, James Cameron’s follow-up is an all-out war between an army of aliens and an unlikely band of heroes. The MVP of the bunch remains Sigourney Weaver’s Ellen Ripley, cinema’s definitive action heroine. What a kickass and, in a strange way, liberating film. Let’s just pretend the other sequels never happened and Ripley went out on a high note.
