Movie 214/1001 ~ Aliens

Aliens is a 1986 science fiction action film starring Sigourney Weaver. The film is considered a benchmark for the genre. The film is set on the planet from the original Alien movie which had begun to be colonized when the Aliens were discovered and murdered all of the people on the planet. A team of marines is mobilized to investigate. This film is action packed and very enjoyable to watch. Sigourney Weaver had a nomination for Best Actress for the role, which is considered extraordinary, because the genre is usually ignored by the Academy. This film is much different than the original Alien which was mostly suspense. This film is non-stop action. I liked it.
