I presumed that that was the version which GP was referring to because the other ones are also dated to 2016.
And I chose to mention it because Ebert rated Aliens highly, at 3.5/4. In retrospect, that may not qualify it as sublime art as opposed to a really good film. I'd have to refresh my memory of Ebert's scale.
- shuntress 10y agoI was actually trying to tacitly refer to both the original and 2016 version because they both can apply to this discussion for different reasons. I think my main take away from 2016 is that it is nearly flawless execution of an equally well-understood concept with an attention to detail that can rival anything to which it may be compared. What I actually consider most impressive about the original is the marvelous ingenuity of its 'construction' which I think is more deserving of comparison to architecture than film.
