RIDLEY SCOTT: what if I were to make an upsetting and claustrophobic horror movie set in deep space where the only thing as terrifying as a bloodthirsty alien is man’s desire to play god JAMES CAMERON: what if a alien take a elevator

If all my babies were burned in front of me I would also rip off my egg sack and take an elevator up 50 floors to fuck shit up.

Ellen Ripley. That’s it, that’s the review.

Une suite sympa à regarder Mais j’ai plus eu l’impression d’être dans un film starship trooper que dans alien. Cependant pour la reine alien forcément j’ai kiffé. Surtout quand l’animatronique de base est à Lyon, alors forcément la voir en film et en vrai…

Saw this on 70mm at the Paris Theater. No action film will ever come close. I like this just as much as Alien, it just depends on the mood I’m in.

I slightly prefer Alien, but man, this is about as good as you can get following up a masterpiece on that level. It does everything you want with a sequel. I loved the decision to go full-blown action with this one, so it wasn’t just a repeat of Ridley’s vision. James Cameron just knows how to get me locked in. His style of filmmaking is so perfect for this world. Ripley is the coolest character ever. That final act might be the best shit in the franchise tbh. One of the best sequels ever. Thank you Big Jim

Ripley you will always be famous. It’s always fuck Burke, Stan Newt, and tolerate Bishop until he comes in clutch.

A packed house at The Paris Theater for the final screening of this stunning 70mm print brought in from L.A. According to the announcement made before it began, this is the only one in circulation out of the 110 prints made when it was originally released 40 years ago. On the way to see it, I found myself aggravated having bought a ticket to see a movie I’ve seen countless times, but this thing moves like a bat outta hell,…

Ripley dangling a several hundred-pound alien out of an airlock with nothing but her bare hands gave me insane body dysmorphia.

Was lucky enough to see a 70mm print preserved from the film’s original release 40 years ago. The condition of the print was near perfect. A nice anecdote to the AI/DNR plagued 4k release. Janes Horner’s score rocked the house as did Get Away From Her You Bitch!

If you really think about it all the best sci fi movies are about the horrific consequences of capitalism exhibited at a cosmic scale. This one just has Sigourney Weaver as the badass forklift certified hero of the working class. Also love that the androids are full of milk or whatever

Une œuvre d’horreur qui n’a pas pris une ride et qui exploite a merveille toutes les mécaniques des xénomorphe en plus de rajouter la reine qui est absolument incroyable

so this was a boy movie but nice though the lens of motherhood? I love that top billed was Sigourney. Allegedly I saw the last remaining 70mm in theater which was a treat.

You should be able to smoke inside The Paris Theatre in NYC It fits the vibe

I always appreciated that the filmmakers shifted the tone of the second film from horror to a straight action movie. And I feel like it works so well. This was also my introduction to the Alien franchise as a kid so maybe I’m just a little nostalgic. I also think Sigourney Weaver really is just so good in these.

Bill Paxton is so good in this role, Matt Lillard must have seen this performance. Another goat AI performance

Looks even better, sounds even better, and hits even harder on 70mm than I could’ve imagined. I love what James Cameron did with this film, blending action and horror in such a perfect way. We obviously get 100x more Xenomorphs, but the movie is so well shot, well lit, and well edited that they and their screen presence are still terrifying. Same goes for the facehuggers, which might be even scarier. This was also my first time watching the theatrical cut, and this film truly moves no matter the cut. The little head tilt Ripley gives the Xenomorph Queen after the facehugger egg hatches… incredible.

I had so many misconceptions about this film, the franchise, and everything related to it. First and foremost, I was unfamiliar with James Cameron’s sequel to Ridley Scott’s Alien. Secondly, I didn’t know that the Alien from Alien vs. Predator is from Ridley Scott’s original Alien. Lastly, I didn’t realize Aliens is a sequel to Alien. I walked in thinking I was watching Ridley Scott’s original. I have no qualms about revealing my ignorance. Anyway, about sixteen or seventeen years…

Lucky enough to see this for the first time since i was a 10 at a sold out 70mm screening. People were hootin and hollerin. What a good and fun movie.

holy freaking jump scare. the amount of times the aliens reappeared after seeming like they were finally freaking gone was soooo irritating like just go away ughh. probably in the top 2 best movie series of its time (a long with Star Wars). I could probably watch this a million times. arguably a lot more dramatic than the first movie.

After over a decade of being a HUGE Alien fan, I have FINALLY seen the sequel! On the only surviving 70mm print from opening weekend back in ‘86 no less. It’s every bit as astonishing as it’s been made out to be. Action horror pretty much perfected. James Cameron directs this with such confidence and an understanding of what made the first so iconic AND STILL makes a movie fully his own 70mm at the Paris

Movies used to have Bill Paxton in them (RIP). That’s how you do a fuckin action/alien/space movie. So funny, all heart, unbelievable sound/effects. Could be Cameron’s best script? Was told this was the first time this movie was projected on 70MM in NY since it was originally released in theaters, special!

Only thing this movie is lacking is a post-credits scene where we see what Jonesy has been up to.

RIPLEY MOTHER! a diva nasceu pra comandar (e matar criaturas alienígenas) off acho esses aliens muito nojentos na versão fetus/parasita, mas engraçados na versão adulta eles se movem igual a cuca do sítio do pica pau amarelo 😭

Special Edition For my 12th birthday I was gifted an Alien boxset collection. It included: Alien, Aliens, Alien³, Alien: Resurrection, and Prometheus. After watching that collection I remember Aliens being my absolute favourite, whenever discussing the franchise I would defend Aliens valiantly as I remember it being clearly miles above the rest. Now, I feel stupid because what was that? I’m serious, what actually was that? It legitimately took me THREE sittings to get through the first 40 minutes. I…

70mm Dolby Atmos re-release? Yeah it was a good day

Un peu en dessous du premier film de la saga, mais ça reste un très bon film d’horreur et de SF : déjà y’a beaucoup plus d’idées de mises en scène intéressantes, mais pour moi le fait de perdre le concept de huis clos avec un espace confiné rend le film beaucoup moins intéressant et perd un peu en efficacité sur le suspense et la tension du film. Appart ça j’ai trouvé ça vraiment bien réalisé par Cameron, c’est toujours…

I think I’m ready to call this my second favorite James Cameron movie now. You know it’s a banger when the only thing I can nitpick is that the Personnel Carrier kinda looked like a cybertruck.

First time on the big screen. 👶🏻 70mm (apparently the only remaining print in circulation since the movie was released according to the introduction). Fucking rocked. I’ve become so acquainted with the extended version, that this gave me a much needed appreciation of the theatrical cut and how effective it is to keep your POV with Rip and the Marines (good band name).

Lesbianismo, homens mais peludos e aliens no plural. Uma versão mais sexy ainda que action do primeiro filme. Pena que menos mágico é único do que primeiro. “Ripley um soldado preto tá vivo no ninho dos xenomorfos” Ripley: kk fodac??? Posso fazer nada. “Ripley, a menina loira de olhos claros tá viva no ninho dos xenomorfos” Ripley: TEMOS QUE IR LÁ IMEDIATAMENTE O racismo dos anos 80 bem transparente.

Świetny sequel. Nie próbuje powtarzać jedynki a bierze koncept obcego i go rozbudowuje, zwiększając stawkę. Zamiast jednego obcego vs grupa naukowców mamy wiele obcych vs marinsów. Film przeradza się z horroru bardziej w stronę akcji (pozostawiając oczywiście elementy horrorowe) i jest to bardzo fajna ewolucja. W ciekawy sposób poprowadzona historia z jedynki. Dowiadujemy się, że Ripley latała w kapsule z 60 lat czy ile tam było, i że jej córka już nie żyje. Fajnie pogłębia to nasza bohaterkę i wprowadza…
- Synopsis
- Ripley, the sole survivor of the Nostromo's deadly encounter with the monstrous Alien, returns to Earth after drifting through space in hypersleep for 57 years. Although her story is initially met with skepticism, she agrees to accompany a team of Colonial Marines back to LV-426.
