Looking good!
Cameron’s films age badly in some ways; as with T2, ALIENS’ dialogue tends toward the clichéd action-film tropes, sometimes absurdly so. But the film has never looked so good, at least on home video. Bill Paxton eats the scenery so expertly that I cease to care about his haggard dialogue (he delivers “Game over, man!” like a Tony award depended on it). As an effects-heavy film from the era just before CGI took over, ALIENS is an analog gem that cleans up great for the digital age.

Theatrical and Special Edition versions
I first watched this film in the 80's when it was released on VHS. This movie has a fantastic cast but Hudson played by Bill Paxton is my favorite character of the film. I'm glad that this bluray release has both theatrical and special edition versions (AKA extended cut) and as far as the audio and visual quality goes it looks and sounds great even though it's an older film.

An Excellent Action Film!
“Aliens” is director James Cameron’s amazing follow-up to Ridley Scott’s horror classic, “Alien”. This film takes on a more action oriented storyline and Sigourney Weaver turns Ripley into a true action heroine. Amazing action and amazing performances make this one film that everyone needs to check out at least once in their lives.
