James Cameron’s Aliens might be the single greatest action blockbuster ever made. It has the thrill of action spectacle, the escapism of otherworldly sci-fi imagery, and the emotional hook of a surrogate mother-daughter relationship. After Ridley Scott’s seminal original Alien film had revolutionized the horror genre, Cameron knew he couldn’t make a scarier horror movie, so he pivoted to making an all-out action-adventure epic, and ended up revolutionizing that genre.
