Aliens
64% across 503 head-to-head matchups puts Aliens comfortably above average — not untouchable, but better than the vast majority of films it faces. A sequel that didn't try to replicate the original's horror — it replaced it with something equally valid and twice as loud. The rare film that gives voters a legitimate reason to prefer it over a masterpiece. It is the top-rated James Cameron film on BingeBracket.
Synopsis
