    Aliens

    ★★★★½

    To go from Ridley Scott's masterpiece of atmospheric horror in 'Alien' to James Cameron's action packed 'Aliens' does not seem like the best idea on paper. Yet it works. 

    Aliens continues the franchise in a believable way, and introduces us to the Colonial Marines, as well as some bureaucrats in the face of Carter Burke who seem to have the same plan that Mother wanted Ash to complete back in 'Alien."
