Get ready for our Summer of Sequels! And what better way to kick things off than with Aliens, a film widely considered one of the greatest sequels ever made.

Director James Cameron takes everything that worked in the original and turns it up to eleven. While "more of everything" can sometimes be a recipe for disaster, Aliens proves it can be the perfect approach. The film answers the questions fans were asking after the first movie: What if there were more aliens? What if the humans were trained soldiers ready to fight back?

Combined with James Horner's unforgettable score, Aliens delivers an action-packed sci-fi experience that has stood the test of time. Its influence can still be seen today, especially in the Halo video game series, which shares many similarities in its military sci-fi themes, visual design, and storytelling.

Sequels are never guaranteed to succeed, but Aliens is proof that sometimes a follow-up can not only match the original, it can surpass it.

Stick around until the end for a round of Metacritic Mayhem!


Safe travels, nomads.
