“Aliens” in 1986, is that rarity in Hollywood, the successful continuation. Her achievement is due in part because it retains the dark, brooding quality brought to him by his predecessor director, Ridley Scott, and partly because its new director, James Cameron, completely changes his temperament. Where “foreigner” was largely a Gothic horror flick packed in suspense, “Aliens” is an action adventure filled with excitement. The idea that any of them are science-fiction flick quite by accident.

As you know, the end of the first film, Lt. Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) has been the sole survivor of the attack on its interstellar freighter alien beast. She eventually hit the escape module, scuttling the main spacecraft, placing himself in sleep, and more or less hoping for the best. Fifty-seven years later, it finally took. Naturally, the company is working on is peeved that it had detonated a road cargo area, and no one is too ready to believe her story about monsters. She gets undressed her command, demoted and humiliated. Case increasingly rigid.

Then the snake appears in the person of Carter Burke (Paul Reiser), which is a corporation. He wants Ripley to return to the alien planet. They seem to have lost contact with the settler colony, they sent there a few years ago. Colonists? On an alien planet? Are they mad? With no little persuasion, the company gets Ripley to go back, and the adventure begins again. Only this time, it was revenge. There is not just one solution to the creatures, but dozens, perhaps hundreds of them. More is not always better, but in this case it is just as good.

The film begins with a thrill a minute, and the way it works. There has never a dull moment. The only blemish on the film crew Colonial Marines that Ripley had to tolerate. They represent an embarrassment otherwise intelligent script, a group of gung-ho hotshots who are arrogant and immature, wisecracking show with a compromise position. Their presence would add color and excitement to the story, but, in fact, they are stupid. No major military unit would tolerate their antics at the moment. Among them, Hudson, a perpetual whiner, playing a perpetual whiner Bill Paxton; Hicks, reluctant hero, played by Michael Biehn; Gorman, a young lieutenant useless with almost no experience, which plays William Hope, and another robot, Bishop, played by Lance Henriksen ( “I prefer the term” artificial person “himself.”) Finally, there is Newt, an adorable little girl they find on the planet, the only one to escape the alien living beings (or without cocooned), which gives Ripley someone to the mother. Ripley, of course, can only character in the bunch, and it will soon take over as Rambo. Maybe it is not a coincidence that director Cameron was scriptwriter for the “Rambo II” a year ago. Ripley gets enough opportunity to act heroically and, as usual, to run around in her underwear.

Cameron adds a few surprises at the “aliens” in order to make it as different as possible from “aliens”, but mostly the same idea. Just more ugly critters, some of the best monsters are designed, by the way, and more action. This was the correct route to take. We have served up to uncertainty about surprised that the alien creature was all about in the first of history, that was left was extinguishing battle royal with the whole army of them. Even better, we not only get the original theatrical release, but the new Special Issue, in which Cameron added about twenty minutes of additional material, including scenes revealing Ripley in the past, and with the image of the colonists’ first detection of alien creatures. This is a movie in either option, which, of course, will keep you awake. As in the first movie, I have to give it a 9 / 10.
