Alien Countdown Day 3: Aliens *Spoilers*

The countdown continues with Aliens. Aliens is the most action-packed and exciting installment in the series.

Directed by James Cameron, the film took a Sci-Fi Action/Horror approach to the formula rather than a Sci-Fi Thriller/Horror.

While there is plenty of scary parts within the movie, it's definitely got the viewer at the edge of their seat rather than just biting their nails.

This movie has a much memorable cast of characters and some great human interaction as well as human/artificial-person interactions as well.

"Your ass is already on the line. The question is, what're you going to do about it?"

-Ellen Ripley 

The week of celebration continues. Alien 3 is another film that is universally disliked by Alien-purists. While the story doesn't do much for the overall universe, it's still a fun and great way to say goodbye to the real Ellen Ripley (remember she's a clone in Resurrection).

I've only seen this movie once, but I remember liking it more than I should've. Here goes nothing.

This movie is the one where they clone Ripley in order to retrieve the Xenomorph queen embryo. Definitely a swing and a miss on something that could've been a sick movie. Much like the original Alien, this one is a slow burn but the pay off is more absurd than remarkable.

You have Ron Pearlman basically playing his character from Blade II but in the Alien universe, and not a vampire. Also, a bunch of wannabe action heroes, plus Winona Ryder and Sigourney Weaver collecting a paycheck.
