It would 100% be James Camerons Aliens. Sequals are generally rather meh but for the two sequals Cameron has provided us with they have both been 10/10 (other being T2 of course). I literally watch this film 5 times maybey more a year. There will unfortunately never be a Sci Fi film like this one again due to the modern era of over the top CGI.

I have seen a lot of films in my day, and I can say without hesitation that I consider this is the best action film ever made..."Aliens" has it all, suspense, horror, solid acting, cool hardware, breathtaking effects....you name it. The quality of this film is most evident in how well it has aged. If watched today, it does not feel like a 30+ year old movie. In fact, I think it comes off BETTER than most modern releases because it is not infused with the CGI cancer that has become the staple of modern film making, but generally comes off lifeless and uninteresting, like watching a bad cartoon.I won't go into a detailed review of the film, because I imagine everyone who enjoys this sort of genre has already seen it, probably many times.The first time I saw this film in a theater, it had me on the edge of my seat like no other movie has before or since. It is that good...Bill Paxton's character "Hudson" was a classic, with lines that I continue quoting to this day:"Game over MAN! Game over!"If by any chance anyone reads this who has not seen this film, by all means do so. Unfortunately "Aliens" is a film, far more than most, that really NEEDS the immersion of being seen on the big screen. While still good at home, something is definitely lost viewing it that way.I pray this is a film that Hollywood, greedy for money and with few original ideas, never tries to remake. Any attempt to remake this movie today would result in another CGI atrocity that would suck.Enough praise. Simply a great film.

After a brilliant ,claustrophobic and atmospheric first film , Mr. Cameron takes the Alien franchise into the realm of what would become the fail safe formula of success for action movies . He does this a full decade or even two before it becomes the norm for every action film for decades after its 1986 release. For any other franchise this would be good. But after a Sci-Fi/Horror classic original, the second film is horribly dated and predictable. Cameron removes all the horror out of the film and replaces it with an all out assault on the viewers senses. He even changes Rippleys character from a sensitive but strong survivor female lead to an alpha female , who can do no wrong, including out boxing a natural predator while controlling a bulky and clumsy metal machine body crane. The first film appeals to all demographics while the second is an unapologetic attempt to appease the testosterone filled 20 year old audience. Everything plays second fiddle to the action including the cinematography, set design, acting and even the Alien, hince the need for multiple Aliens. It is simply TOO EPIC ,with too much action and having too much ego.
