Summary

Reviewers say 'Aliens' is celebrated for its intense action, enhanced visuals, and Sigourney Weaver's compelling performance as Ripley. The film's fusion of sci-fi, horror, and war elements is widely appreciated. However, some critics feel it falls short in psychological depth compared to the original 'Alien', with less menacing xenomorphs. The plot's predictability and stereotypical marine characters also draw criticism. Nonetheless, 'Aliens' is commonly seen as a notable sequel that enriches the original's universe.
