Aliens is on a VERY short list of films that are considered next-level cinematic experiences. It's a masterpiece from start to finish. Not one bad or boring scene in the entire movie. Every moment is important, and every single actor in this film brings their A-game with their performance. I cannot say enough great things. It is truly one of the most amazing films ever made. Easily a ten out of ten, with the extended cut bringing it up to a twelve.
They played it as a one off on one of the biggest screens in Amsterdam a few years ago. Not many empty seats, great atmosphere , was awesome. I'm still greatfull to my dad when ho took me to the cinema back in 1986. I was 16, he told me we would watch 'some sci fi movie'. I expected a Star Wars kind of film but was I in for a big surprise. Sweet memories.......
What makes Aliens so special is it was before CGI took over so you know its all physical models which makes it much more realistic. In my opinion its up there with Star Wars in terms of greatest Sci-Fi and one of the greatest movies of all time, top ten for sure.
As far as I can see this - Ridley Scott brought Alien to the cinema and it gained popularity in its own way, James Cameron put together the sequel Aliens and made it even better and how a sequel should be done
Corporal Ferro: ''In the pipe, five by five...'' One of my favorite lines of all the movie.....As a regular and humble spectator who does not work in film or anything like that, one time I had ChatGPT explain in detail, as well as AI can afford to do, the purpose of each of these lines, in a few scenes and how they impact the film. Such was my curiosity and oh boy! I was stunned with all the insights gained..... When I saw the movie for the first time ( I was 11 only), I remember the sound effects of the ship free falling through the air into the alien planet, roaring through the black sky clouded with thick white mists...., almost deafening...... and then hearing Ferro saying that like it was just another day at the office for her....complete horror and shock for us, the audience I mean....man! one of the reasons why this movie is just among the many movies of the 20th century that need to be preserved and continued because one of these days all of these awesome legends and movie gods and goddesses that gave life to this movie together will not be with us 😭...... Aliens franchise 4EVER!!
@@JeVoudrais12 it’s actually five by five We're in the pipe,” means that the drop ship is following the flight path within acceptable deviation. “Five by five” means “Near to perfect” as other answer has said. The drop ship is traveling through bad weather so the pilot is understandably smug about this. All good though 😀
So great to see that you guys persisted and got the two big players onboard. Must have been a challenge but it's made it so much better. Well done to all involved. Super pumped for the release. Backed it from the word go and looking forward to the package when it's ready!
I just introduced my teenagers to Alien and Aliens this summer and the entire family loved it. I picked them both up on 4K disc and if you have the hardware to watch them that way I highly recommend it especially in the audio department.
Haha When I was 10 I saw This movie and it is THE reason why I’m now 44 and I’m not into horror movies at all and still scared of the dark. Every time I watch it , it still makes me uncomfortable. A true cinema masterpiece
This is amazing - I am looking forward to seeing the amazing cast again, from one of my favourite movies of all time - I hope this also comes to iTunes - Rest in Peace Bill Paxton.
Yo!!! Stop your grinnin’ and drop your linin’!!! I got my copy ordered!!! I seen Aliens at the theatre when it was released then bought it on vhs then dvd then blue ray then 4k blue ray probably watched it hundreds of times through the years it’s my all time favourite movie 🎥
Does this version differ from the director's cut with the extra scenes, like when Hudson is boasting all the weapons they have, or the extra scenes on board the Sulaco before they wake up, or the scenes with Newt's family?
@@jonesygrets6029 I saw the video, haven't been able to see the whole documentary just skipped it to see my name, kind of regretted having chosen it that way, should have put whole name and last name instead of just short for first name and initial for last name....it's still unique but I can hardly say that's me 🤣🤣....missed my chance to rename also 😜.....these guys are beyond awesome! they even gave us a chance to make any corrections as needed, for a couple of weeks.

Have been waiting years now, but after seeing the rough cut, and I am hoping they DON'T trim ANYTHING from it, else release the full uncut and now expanded edition with Sigourney and James in it. Well folks, it will be worth it, and more!

R.I.P Bill Paxton 🙏
Was it bonfire night? I remember it being on that night in the early ninety's. As kids we used to watch it over and over on vhs, we just couldn't get enough of it.
I saw this movie with my Dad at Camp Foster while I was still in high school. The Marines in the theater were so annoying with their snarky comments until the scene where the squad was ambushed by the Aliens. The crowd got quiet after that and we all enjoyed one hell of a thrilling movie!
Aliens - the only movie I've watched over 30 times. Who else is worried they'll wear out their DVD? Picked up a brand new copy for my remaining years on this rock and looking forward to this one as well.
I just disagree with Michael that this was his best movie. Sorry but no. It's a tie with Terminator. :) And Mr Cameron was born to make Aliens AND Terminator. These are some of the greatest movies ever made.
Ive lost count of the number of versions of this film ive seen, from the original cinema release to VHS, DVD, BRD and UHD, from vanilla to extended scenes.

Definitely in my top three favorite movies of all time. Then they spoiled it by releasing Aliens three. The whole of Aliens was abut saving the little girl. Aliens three, shes written out straight away.

Is it to much to ask for an Aliens Colonial Marines movie, series, animated cartoon, or at least a f&@#$ commercial.? Saw Aliens in theater in 1986, I was 12!!!

Hell Yeah !!! I knew she was coming ! Finally it is complete! 👏🏻
It is just sad that Paxton is not here … 🙏🏻
sad Bill cant be with us. RIP buddy.
😢😢😢
And even for the Predator franchise...
Game over man, game over.
Greatest Cast ever, not one bad Actor in this movie. Not a single boring Minute. Not a single senseless line. Best movie ever.
It's never "game over" for me & this movie. Can't get enough of it - theatrical, extended, open matte, 35mm, even AI enhanced... pure perfection!
I saw this movie for the 1st time on a 13" black and white TV. I was in total amazement when I finally saw it in color on a bigger TV.
Yeah! I was hoping they would get Sigourney on board. I backed the project and waiting patiently for the release!
Thank you!
@CREATORVCLIVE I signed up.but,still no email on when I can buy the digital version, is there a release date?
Beyond a shadow of a doubt the G.O.A.T. movie of all time. A complete and utter Masterpiece.

Still gives me shivers even though iv watched more times than I can count.
One of the best ever.

It's excellent that Sigourney has joined the crew. I can't wait to see this.
One of my all time fave films that I never get tired of watching.
Back to the big screen, and LEAVE IN THE EXTRAS! One of the best movies EVER

As i kid i remember sweating watching this film. The tight dark tunnels within the movie made it feel so claustrophobic and frightening

Best in the franchise by a MILE!!!!!!
To bad about Paxton , I've been told I imitate him a lot, which I guess I like him. Man
Ripley(Sigourney Weaver) my favorite heroine of all time
one of the best action movies ever made.
Greatest action film yet made. Cameron is a genius.
Aliens - the only movie I've watched over 30 times. Who else is worried they'll wear out their DVD? Picked up a brand new copy for my remaining years on this rock and looking forward to this one as well.
I just disagree with Michael that this was his best movie. Sorry but no. It's a tie with Terminator. :) And Mr Cameron was born to make Aliens AND Terminator. These are some of the greatest movies ever made.
Terminator wasn’t even close. You had to have been there when it opened.
I’d say his best two were the Abyss and Tombstone.
Sigourney Weaver is the best female lead of all time.
This movie is so memorable and scary you can't forget it.
Ive lost count of the number of versions of this film ive seen, from the original cinema release to VHS, DVD, BRD and UHD, from vanilla to extended scenes.
I held off on this but now I have pre ordered it once I found out she was on board
read the softcore trilogy first with 12 92. hooked ever since. and NOW i get that video -.- yeah thanks
im buying this
James Cameron was the Special Effects artist on “Darkstar” that starred Dan O’Bannon (who co-wrote Alien) that inspired Alien 🧐
Really? still not seen that.

Already ordered this bug hunt of a documentary .
Super pumped! Just ordered the Blu-Ray!

Still the best!
No CGI, all great!
So my question is: do we rewatch (seen it tons but not in years) the film BEFORE or AFTER watching this documentary??? What’s your opinion?
Def AFTER! Hopefully, you'll see it with new eyes.
Looks fantastic. I'm excited!
Got goosebumps 😁
James cameron is a genuis.
Whoohoo, finally! Yo0u guys are awesome to pull it off!
Bang Sigourney in. Very happy about this
So exciting!
and hell yeah i backed this WORTH SO SO WORTH IT
Thank you!
The cut is too fast for this Trailer !
Says the guy who was also in Terminator.
or you can watch 338 Avenger movies...................not. This was in my youth, and Alien rocked the entire audience. Aliens was a masterful sequel.
