Bought it for a bargin ($50) at jb. Ive never seen them in full, in fact only seen snippets of alien and aliens when i was a kid.
I watched Alien the other night, and backed up with Aliens last night.
Alien - funny seeing Ian Holm there as the robot/synthetic Ash. I guess IMO it was like the original star wars where you'd laugh at the "hi-tech" sets etc. I found it hard to get into, but can definately see why people were scared sh#&less back in 79-80.
Aliens - much better. more battles and weaponary. Paul Reiser plays a weak nerd well. Lance Henriksen great as the synthetic Bishop. Bill Paxon was annoying but played a very frightened solider. Really enjoyed this one.
For both of them, didnt mind seeing S. Weaver walking around in underwear!
Mrs North says 3 and 4 are better still. Cant wait to get stuck into the last two.
