Aliens (18-Jul-1986)

Director: James Cameron

Writers: James Cameron; David Giler; Walter Hill

Music Composed by: James Horner

Producer: Gale Anne Hurd

Keywords: Sci-Fi/Horror, Robots, Explosions, Corporate Crime

Ellen Ripley, discovered floating in space, is awakened after 57 years of hypersleep near the same planet from Alien (1979), now undergoing terraforming in the early stages of colonization. Contact was lost with the colonists; Marines land and are killed off one-by-one. Our heroes barely escape as they destroy the remains of the colony with a thermonuclear device, but the alien has attached itself to their ship. Yes, it's the same plot as Alien. Best watched as the Director's Cut, as the film needs those extra 17 minutes of scenes. Won Oscars for Best Visual Effects and Best Sound Effects Editing; received nominations for 5 others including Best Actress, Best Score, and Best Set Decoration. Won Hugo for Best Dramatic Presentation.
