Though this leans far more into being an action movie than the prior entry, it feels like an evolution of what came before, and it naturally builds on character arcs, the xenomorphs backstory, and everything that made that first film a masterpiece. Throughout this video, we're going to be breaking down the movie and going over the themes, hidden details, easter eggs, and other things you may have missed.Now, whereas Ridley Scott said that he actually preferred the original version of the film, James Cameron has said that the Aliens director's cut is his preferred version of the film. Cameron described it as 40 miles of bad road, saying this is a longer and more intense journey through hell.This is the version I'm going to be reviewing for this movie, and if you haven't seen it then I definitely recommend that you watch it over the theatrical version. Aliens is a far faster and more intense story than its predecessor, which is even clearly shown by the title reveal, which happens way quicker than it did in the prior movie.Now, the story itself features the archetypes of Joseph Campbell's "hero's journey," and in case you're unaware of this, it basically provides an outline for a typical hero character. This starts off with a call to action, which is Ripley being asked to go back to LV-426; we then have a refusal like what we see in the film; the aid and mentor can initially be seen as Carter Burker; and then from here we cross the threshold when going to the planet. New allies and enemies are made in the marines and Newt before we get an ordeal in which they discover the xenomorphs. From here, we have the death of the mentor, the battle with the brother, who could both represent Burke, and so on and so forth..

RIP Bill Paxton. Some of the greatest lines in sci-fi.
I think we all need to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for Jennifer Lawrence breaking through the glass ceiling and becoming the very first lead female role in an action movie which paved the way for movies like Aliens...
I’m surprised you skipped over the “Get away from her, you BITCH!” line. Listen, I was in a theater on the opening weekend of Aliens. When Sigourney delivered that line, the roof blew off that place. Screaming, yelling, hooting, hollering, whistling, high-fiving… the crowd came unglued. It’s the most memorable moment I’ve ever had at a theater.
i can't hear "why dont ya put her in charge?" without laughing. he really had most of the best lines in that movie
Ripley's little head tilt, and the change of her facial expression from scared to "kill mode" before she opens fire in the egg laying room is so awesome.
Aliens isn’t just one of the best sequels of all time, it’s one of the best action movies of all time. I have loved Aliens since the first time I saw it when I was ten. Just a phenomenal movie.
This and terminator 2, two of the best sequels ever. 80s & 90s was the golden age of sci-fi.
I think Alien and Aliens are both perfect movies, but for different reasons. That's why it's really hard for many people, including myself, to decide which one is "better." You can't really judge them by the same metric, but when you look at each one individually, they both end up being rated perfect. Just my two cents.
Gorman redeemed himself by going back for Vasquez. He could have easily escaped with Risley and Hicks, but instead ran to her aid knowing it would probably cost him his life. “You always were an asshole, Gorman” was high praise from Vasquez. I love the camaraderie.
This is my all time favourite action sci-fi film ever. Think I've watched it more than any other film since I was 8.
I saw Aliens before I saw Alien. With the descriptive dialogue and references to the previous movie, I was able to mentally visualize what had happened. Several years later I was finally able to see the original, and it was pretty close to what I imagined had happened. Just another example of how much of a good director/story-teller James Cameron is.
I LOVE the director's cut of Aliens. The robot sentry guns, the early scenes at Hadley's Hope with Newt and her family, the backstory on Ripley's daughter... Great stuff.
Al Matthews, who plays Apone, was actually a decorated U.S. Marine in Vietnam. He actually helped trained the other actors in their tactical movements to look more realistic to Marines tactics.
Watching this as a 10 year old for the first time in 1989 literally made my jaw drop! As a 43 year old now, I still watch it every now and then and it is probably my favourite film of all time
Another great thing about this movie is THERE ARE NO WEAK ACTORS - not a single performance was weak - the minimum bar for all the performances was extremely high - Cameron extracted amazing performances from everyone - Bill Paxton deserved an academy award for this film his portrayal of a panicky blustery space marine REALLY MADE the movie and provided all the necessary humor!!
One thing I loved about Aliens the first time I saw it, was the way the marines changed over time. They were introduced as absolute clowns and probable xenomorph fodder, shallow and the type you wouldn't really be upset about if they died. But they very quickly demonstrate that they are real people underneath all the bravado, and that while they may be terrified of the situation they've found themselves in, they're capable of adapting quickly and fighting bravely.
The head tilt and facial expression Ripley has when an egg opens just as her and Newt are leaving the Queens Brood Chamber like “oh, you B I T C H!” And almost like, “really? We had a deal.” Then absolutely roasts everything... hands down, my favorite moment in the whole franchise.
I was a paratrooper, stationed at Fort Bragg in 1986. When I saw it the theater was packed with paratroopers, and we were very vocal and rambunctious in our appreciation for this movie! Several years later I read the novelization of Aliens (by Alan Dean Foster) [based upon the full script aka the "director's cut"]; just after reading the book A Bridge Too Far (by Cornelius Ryan) about Operation Market Garden in 1944, the largest deployment of paratroopers in history. I noticed that the names of All of the Marines are shared by historical Paratroopers who participated in Operation Market Garden! Perhaps it is a coincidence, but it is common to use a literature source to come up with names of secondary characters. Lieutenant Colonel John Frost was in command of the British Paratroopers at Arhem Bridge. Brigadier Hicks was in command of the British Glider Brigade (or one of the Paratrooper Brigades), there was a Hudson in the 82nd Airborne, a Gorman too. Wierzabowski was in the Polish Paratrooper Brigade, etc. Several of the names are quite prominent, others very obscure.
Bill Paxton was an absolute legend in this film. I miss him.
Hicks sleeping during the drop ship sequence is actually a reference to marines being able to sleep even while riding in the most uncomfortable and rough moving transports. This got a huge laugh when I saw it in the theatre while in the Marine Corps in 86. This was an excellent video.
