Is this the most intense film ever made? Seeing this for the first time on the big screen, in “glorious 70mm” was a full body experience. Of course I have long known the fate of Hicks, Vasquez, Hudson, Bishop and Ripley, and had Burke’s betrayal revealed 100s of times.
But it all hits different when you’re sitting at Walter Reade with 100s of people sitting on the edge of their seat.
This is Sigourney Weaver’s finest performance and might be Cameron’s finest film.
Aliens is simply the best science fiction thriller of all time and an unadulterated masterpiece.
Bravo!!!
