Ripley has been and always will be one of my heroes. She’s incredible!

The biggest difference between Ripley and modern Heroines, and why Ripley is such a damn good character is that she is entirely believable. She is still Feminine, they didn't write her to replicate how they think a male Action hero would act, she shows motherly instincts to Newt, and she kicks arse when she has to and not a second more, no unnecessary risks, she does absolutely what is necessary for her and Newt to survive. All of this gives her depth as a character and makes her a completely believable badass!

Sounds great, but falls apart once you realise that modern heroines are actually all that too. If anything Sigourney lacks a lot of the femininity of more typical heroines with her bone structure and height. Also has much more of a flat affect (compared to the hysterical Paxton for instance). I wouldn't be surprised if they created the Newt character to make Sigourney appear less masculine overall. Another thing that no one talks about is Ripley's lack of training, strength or skills and still managing to leave all the space marines/real men for dead. Sound familiar?

I do agree that CGI has become over used, frequently as a shortcut, where the same effects can be achieved with practical, in camera effects and in many cases, would have looked better as in camera effects. It just happens that on Aliens, James Cameron had considerable experience with practical special effects himself (He'd previously worked with Exploitation Schlock-Meister Roger Corman where he learned to make impressive effects shots on the cheap) and was working with his long time collaborator, Effects God Stan Winston who previously worked with Cameron on The Terminator.

No one seems to get that the sparkly frost in the capsule isn't just water frost. It's the atmosphere inside the pod, which is otherwise in vacuum. This detail in the film-making has always been very impressive to me.

Highly anticipated, this sequel was so big and well-received, it exceeded the hype, and Time Magazine put Sigourney Weaver on their cover during the summer month of July. She was heralded as one of cinema's first true heroines.

Simply one of the best movies ever made - still makes me feel un´comfortaby scared watching it. No matter how many sequels they'll make - Aliens will still be the best in the franchise, closely before Alien

Ripley and Sara Conner were my fav movie leads, of both men and women. Both were normal women put in bad situations in their first movies, and became warriors in their second movies. And neither sacrificed their femininity. In both women’s case, they were spurred into taking extreme action because of their “mothers instincts” to protect their respective children. The past decade of movies have been so bad, i canceled cable years ago, and now I scour the bargain dvd bins for old classics to watch.

The problem is that compared to so many ones with male leads this has been one of only a few with women during that time. It's like how there was a push in Hollywood to have more movies about the Suffrage movement a few years back. They kept being said No because HBO did it with Iron Jawed Angels. There are about a hundred WWII movies every year. Most that feature life in a *segregated* US Military BTW.

An important thing to note on this is that for Ripley only a few weeks or months have passed since she lost her crew, and then she's going back there to face it. If there is something that shows her personal strength, THAT is it.

Literally the perfect movie. I can't fault a single thing.

Believe it or not, the scene where Ripley learns her daughter's fate is one of the Special Edition inclusions. It was cut from the theatrical release, which I think is crazy. It makes her relationship with Newt that much more powerful. Also, the scenes with the automated guns shooting Aliens were a Special Edition add. They might seem superfluous, but without them the Aliens kind of disappear for a huge chunk of the middle of the movie. Good to have them test the defenses to keep the threat up. On the other hand, I don't think they needed to include the scenes on the colony, before the outbreak. They kind of slow the pace down, don't really add anything relevant to the story, and I think it's a lot more tense not seeing the colony until the Marines open the doors and move in.

One of my favorite movies and I am only 35 years old. Aliens is a classic and definitely felt it better than the first film although first movie is classic in its own right. Aliens has a good story line and fun characters with the Marines. Michael Biehn and Bill Paxton steal the show as Hicks and Hudson. Paul Reiser does a good job playing the sneaky Company official more interested in getting the species back for testing and not caring about Ripley and others. Lance Henriksen is memorable as the robot Bishop. Sigourney Weaver is even better as Ripley and like how she takes in Newt as her own played by Carrie Henn who was in her first film and only movie before becoming a teacher in her adult life.

Cameron was smart in not trying to just copy the first film,a mistake that all the other films made in one way or another. Sadly this film would be the high point for the franchise. After this it's all downhill in various ways. Even the ones by Scott,who you think would know better,are just laughable in their stupidity. Your comment about them being a family was spot on. In fact in the great commentary for the film by James Cameron he says that he set it up that way for the next film. He wanted to do a third one but for some reason they never got back to him so he made the Abyss instead,which was a far better film than Alien 3 turned out to be. Alien 3 was,in Cameron's own words,a kick in the balls to the fans of the second film. It's a franchise that should never have been a franchise. Especially once the AVP films came out the entire thing became a joke. Best to react to The Abyss instead of any more of these.

Drake and Vasquez shredded a ton of Aliens with their smart guns.

In the collector's edition, the APC you guys said was an intense tank was actually modified from a vehicle designed to tow passenger aircraft into hangers. The actual vehicle didn't have much space inside, it's practically all motor, so the interior is a set of its own... which collapsed when shook the first time, and the guy who played the sergeant actually got everyone into gear to make sure everyone was okay. The actual vehicle also had its brakes fail once, and smooshed a static camera.

U guys showed a lot more of the movie than most people who reacted to this movie. Respect.

So glad you guys got to watch the only two Aliens movies ever made

😂 Hopefully they’ll watch the only Jaws movie ever made, and the only three Star Wars movie ever made.

How many times do you hold your breath watching this? Every time you think it's finished it just keeps going. Classic!

Great reaction video as usual. You’re lucky to be able to see this just one month after Alien! It was a big deal when this came out, seven whole years after the first one! And that was at a time when very few movies got sequels, not like today. And they’re both classics now, in different genres, which is still very unusual. You two are always a pleasure to watch. Keep up the good work!

6:59 Originally, Lance Henriksen(Bishop) was gonna do the knife trick on himself, but they decided to prank Bill Paxton with it, meaning his scream of terror is 100% real 😂😂🤣

The loader effects were so impressive for the time that a bunch of corporations wanted to use them to replace their forklifts and other similar equipment. They were shocked when it turned out to be a combination of puppeteering, stop motion, and other such tricks.

LOL!! Fun watching Aliens with you guys! So funny that you both jumped when Hudson saw the Aliens crawling along the ceiling, but so great when Samantha yelled "YEAH!" at Burke's death.

Arguably the best sci fi action movie ever made. In my humble opinion. I never get tired of it.

THIS is how you do a strong female lead in an action movie!

@sisuphos Exactly! I've noted the same thing. She's strong and brave because she has to be in order to save the girl who she's come to see as a daughter.

Check out The Abyss. Another James Cameron sci-fi classic. Great reaction guys.

Yes! Watch the Abyss! Director's Cut if you can. Then watch all of the BTS stuff on it. The making of that movie was absolutely insane.

The Abyss (the extended version) is a very good film... although I hate the ending. Cameron spends a couple hours creating a world rooted in realism with mysterious ‘underwater flying objects’ and then goes full on fairytale “and they lived happily ever after”... it doesn’t work. He should’ve kept everyone in the dark about the UFOs, have Ed Harris still diffuse the nuke and then send an obscure message right before he dies... and then end the movie with the crew doomed to suffocate... that would’ve made it a great film... leave the viewer wondering...

This movie is loaded with little bits that are soooooo good. 19:53 Love it when Vasquez hands over a gun to Bishop and he just hands it to Ripley.

The best part of the movie is that the audience is IN on the joke. They are aware of how much danger the marines and others are getting themselves into, while the characters are oblivious (other than Ripley). Such a great take on it.

imagine being 10 years old and watching this movie for the first time in the theater. My jaw dropped when I first watched this and became one of my favorites movies till this day.
