Aliens
Alien felt like a labour of love. The sets were really detailed, the characters fleshed out, the way the tension ratcheted up and up was exquisite. Aliens feels a lot more like a hollywood blockbuster, but it’s still a very good hollywood blockbuster.
I feel like the ending went off the rails a bit, though. Newt went into a child dispensing machine, so Ripley duct taped a bunch of guns and shit together, and ultimately the day was saved by product placement?
