Aliens (1986)

"Not bad, for a human." Bishop

A vast improvement on its predecessor. More brilliant Ripley, a (mostly) less idiotic crew, and a strong yet vulnerable little girl. Yes, it's still pretty predictable at times. Yes, we still have to have one crew member who is just an incredibly selfish douchebag. Yes, the Queen battle felt exactly like Ripley's last battle in the escape shuttle from Alien (entirely unnecessary). But that's okay. It's a brilliant way to extend the world by utilizing the "history repeats itself" meme.
