Plot Summary

Sigourney Weaver stars in Aliens, the sequel to the 1979 blockbuster Alien, reprising her role as Officer Ripley, the sole survivor of the spaceship Nostromo’s encounter with a deadly extraterrestrial. This time she returns to the very planet where her nightmare originally began with a squad of heavily armed marines, in a search-and-rescue mission for some missing space colonists.

Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: A flaming, flashing, crashing, crackling blow-'em-up show that keeps you popping from your seat despite your better instincts and the basically conventional scare tactics. – Walter Goodman, New York Times, Jul 7, 2010

Fresh: The trouble Ripley has found this time is exponentially bigger and scarier than anything she encountered in Ridley Scott's memorably minimalist, eerily elegant 1979 film. – TIME Magazine, Jun 24, 2010

Fresh: Makes up for lack of surprise with sheer volume of thrills and chills. – Variety, Jul 7, 2010

Fresh: The ads for Aliens claim that this movie will frighten you as few movies have, and, for once, the ads don't lie. – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times, Jul 7, 2010

Awesome! Need to Buy not Rent!!

I agree, enough of the rentals!!! This is an awesome movie!!!!! Either be able to buy it or rent to buy!!! These rentals w/o buying is very annoying! They are coming out with good movies that you can only rent! Please change that!

best one, please allow for purchase

this was the best alien. deff my favorite. itunesss pleasee enough of this renting rule. PLEASE ALLOW ALL THE RENTABLE MOVIES TO BE PURCHASED TO KEEP.

Awsome Movie - Stupid rental policy

One of the top 5 all time best movies ever. Will never rent a movie from ITUNES. Would rather pay double, maybe more to own it and others with no time limit. We understand its a rights issue with studios but we would gladly pay to own.
