Let's be honest, this is a better movie than Alien as it takes the aspect of making everything bigger and does it perfectly as it blends both horror and action more perfectly than the original. Sigourney Weaver (Ripley) is still perfect in this role and she honestly will go down as one of the most badass females in cinema history, but I loved the addition of Michael Biehn (Cpl. Dwayne Hicks) and Carrie Henn (Newt) who give this movie a lot more charm than the first one in my opinion as you care a lot for both these characters.

I gotta admit the practical effects in this film are so perfect as every environment looks just amazing and the Aliens look superb as well with the Queen Alien being something to truly behold. I'll admit the CGI is actually better in the first film as it was a better blend of CGI and Practical as different to this film being full CGI in those moments.

Its the last great Alien film in the franchise and if you are an Alien fan you will love it, yeah it's not as scary as the first one but James Cameron takes the premise of the original and cranks it up to 11 with more Aliens and bucket loads of action.
