It really is such a shame given just how much money got poured into the project that they didn't allocate even 0.1% to writing an actively good story. At this point, I think that while Cameron has great visual taste, he simply just doesn't have any literary taste at all. I believe he actually thinks these horribly banal, cliched stories are genuinely good. It's gotten so bad that it makes me retroactively wonder whether he actually wrote "Aliens" and who the real author is.
