What is that?
The last movies that I watched were Alien and Aliens. I just finished the second one not 10 minutes ago. There was a marathon on AMC.
Alien 10/10 Great plot, backed up with amazing visuals and superb acting. It does everything right: believable and relatable characters, moments that continue to scare and surprise after the fourth or fifth viewing, suspense that just doesn't relent, sets and backdrops that seem real and practical, it has a certain "feeling" to it that I just can't describe in words, and, of course, the eponymous Alien.
Aliens 9/10 Great plot, backed up with amazing visuals and mostly great acting. This film does most things right: suspense, characters, plot, sets, backdrops, guns, dropships, APCs, explosions, more guns, flamethrowers, and many many memorable lines. Oh, yes, and Aliens. Many, many Aliens. Some drawbacks are: some of the characters just aren't that believable or relatable (most of the Marines), not all of the actors or actresses were that great (although all the lead ones were), and it just didn't have the same "feeling" to it that Alien had.
