DAY 23: Aliens
On HBO Max

So I'll start by saying that I'm one of the folks who like Aliens more than Alien.

Aliens picks up where Alien left off, where Ripley joins space marines on a battle to fight the xenomorph threat, this time they're up against an entire hive of them!

Let me say that someone mentioned to me that if you put Alien and Aliens together, you have the perfect movie. And I agree with that a great deal. Aliens is the perfect continuation of this story, I think, and I don't think it's nearly as strong without the first movie.

I'll mention again that Ripley is an incredible strong female protagonist and needs to get more credit. She's so awesome in this movie. And just seeing her evolve through both movies is really excellent and it feels very fulfilling.

This movie is influential in so many ways, and it's pretty revolutionary for its time. They still manage to be able to bring a sense of dread out of the xenomorphs despite there being so many more and the humans actually being able to fight back now. Because they're still at a huge disadvantage. The movie takes its time selling you on the other characters too, and I just love that.

I don't know how much I need to tell you guys about this movie. The action is great, the horror is great, the effects are great, the plot is great, the characters are great, the aliens are great, there is so much innovation.

Aliens is one of the best horror movies. Even if you can consider it an action movie. It doesn't forget its horror roots at all. And I think this is easily the best of the Alien movies. I give it a 10/10. Absolutely watch if you somehow haven't yet.

Rating: 10/10
