In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing ALIENS (1986) which is currently streaming on the Starz app. The film, directed by James Cameron, is based on characters by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett. The screenplay was attributed to Cameron from a story by James Cameron, David Giler and Walter Hill and is the sequel to Ridley Scott's 1979 horror masterpiece. The film follows as Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is sent back up to space by the Company as a senior advisor to figure out what happened to a colony of settlers. The film is relentless action and expanded the Alien Universe with compelling characters, a tight story and top notch 1986 effects. The film has a run time of 2 h 17 m, and is rated R. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
**Please note we actually saw this in May and this episode is dedicated to our crazy and missed Zeke **
