Aliens

How to start writing about a masterpiece like this it's a very dangerous job. I hope i'm worth enough to write about this major epic astonishing sci-fi action movie and the best of all time. Saying it's the best sci-fi movie of all time is in everyone choices. This choice is mine, and if you take into account the director is James Cameron and the tough actress who gives this fantastic movie a soul is Sigourney Weaver then maybe you should check it out. I think Aliens should be seen as an independent movie apart from the rest of the Alien saga. And In my opinion the best in this fantastic saga. It has the same main character yes, true but the movie evolves when new and powerfull characters let the movie flow with the same storytelling but always in a different background, different perspectives, visual, character development and astonishing methods of directing to take the same story and tell it all over again with never repeating the same which was previous done by the other directors before.

It seems easy to look back to this movie and say: "this is a very simple idea, and alien race, take some military's to kill the aliens, that's it you have some good action movie...". This is not all true, you've got to have the deepest imagination to write and to make this visual masterpiece.

James Cameron now is always known for his sci-fi and epic blockbusters movies: The Terminator, The Abyss, The Terminator 2, True Lies, Titanic and Aliens.

He's the perfect guy for the job, great storytelling, imagination and creativity in sci-fi "world". The premiss for the movie is simple as i said before, Ellen Ripley portrayed by Sigourney Weaver is found 57 years in a survival capsule which came from the previous movie from a salvage team. In this 57 years she was in hypersleep, lot has happened, the planet she escaped from is now a colonist station. When the Company which saved Ripley lost contact from the colonist station, Ripley already knows what happened, but the company wants to send her with a full group of trained marines to find out what happened, is it a problem with the transmissions or is it something worse. Ripley is to find there her worst nightmare 57 years later.

The movie is long and it passes so fast, for me this always means one thing, when something is good the time always fly. It's a wonderfull pearl of sci-fi action, beautifly production designs, great visual effects for an 1986 movie, strong hand of characters and great directing by James Cameron, who knew to re-invent what was already amazing in the previous Alien film. He direct Sigourney Weaver and the all cast into a new world and gave to the 7th Art another iconic movie for all the generations to come. If you're not a fan of sci-fi see it as just another action movie, the only difference it's in space, but if you are a fan of sci-fi, love it like the astonishing magic it delivers. Stay tooned. 7th Art will be back sooner with another great review back to the 80's.
