"Audiences stand in line to see movies such as Aliens to be thrilled, chilled, terrified and, generally speaking, to be made as nervous as all get-out. Aliens accomplishes all this with determination and artistry."— Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News
"The greatest horror movie since Frankenstein. Here is a rare instance in which a sequel is infinitely superior to the original."— Scott Cain, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"A horror-film spectacular, a dark and exhilarating epic that keeps building and building."— Owen Gleiberman, Boston Phoenix
After floating in space for 57 years, Lt. Ripley's (Sigourney Weaver) shuttle is found by a deep space salvage team. Upon arriving at LV-426, the marines find only one survivor, a nine year old girl named Newt (Carrie Henn). But even these battle-hardened marines with all the latest weaponry are no match for the hundreds of aliens that have invaded the colony.
