Aliens
Released in July of 1986, this was the sequel to the horror film Alien. While that film was scary because the Alien was barely seen and the spaceship that it was roaming was very dark.....this film was going to be different from the get go.
Lets take a look at the cast....
Whoa, bad ass!! Sigorney Weaver reprises her role as Ripley. This time there's a colony that's threatened by Aliens (on the same planet the first one was found on) so they send in the Marines. These guys are used to this kind of operation.....except, not this time. They get the snot pretty much beaten out of them in the first engagement with the Aliens and the few that make it have to figure out a way to escape the planet (spoiler alert: Their airship is taken out by one of the Aliens).
But to complicate matters, there's a young colonist named Newt that has survived (and who Ripley has befriended) and Newt has avoided the Aliens....but she gets captured. Well Ripley goes into action and......
Super Bad Ass!!!!
The film is one of the best examples of Sci-Fi horror. And I recommend everyone see it. I won't spoil the end or some of the twists in the film. Its really worth seeing.
Now go see it....or Game Over, Man...Game Over.
One of my favorite movies and casts of characters ever!
ReplyDeleteLove Hicks and even the whiny marine Hudson. I adore the way Vasquez hollers and her and Frost get my vote as cutest couple.
Of course Ripley is the biggest bad ass of them all and Newt is the cutest bravest survivor ever.
