Aliens**  
(US 1986)                                                          
Twentieth Century Fox/Brandywine. 137m.

The sole survivor of Alien returns to the mysterious planet after several years in stasis, where the monsters have wiped out most of an Earth colony.
Forceful sequel with plenty of testosterone, lacking the original's shock factor but ingenious and suspenseful enough to hold its own. A cult hit following the director's previous success The Terminator.
