Did you even watch Aliens?? (yes)You just described like.. the complete opposite of what happened in the movie. (nope.
The marines got THEIR asses fucking kicked, by a lot less than a millions aliens, and they had planned on nuking the 'small space base' but did not eventually need to, as it blew up by itself. regardless--it got nuked by a nuclear reaction.
Aliens is my favourite Sci-Fi, btw. But you're being far too harsh on such an amazing movie as Alien. If you prefer the action of #2 (I'm guessing you're the type of person to skip through the first 1.5 hours to get to the aliens..) then it shows you have a severe lack of patience in regards to cinema.
Don't presume to tell me what kind of person I am or what kind of movies I like, and I won't presume to call you an asshole based on the insulting feedback I receive here.
And I don't think the two movies are completely different. The second movie uses all the techniques of the original, but on a much larger scale. It simply expands every component of the original.
Granted. I said I liked it better. For making known my preference, I apologize to you, and all those who were hurt by it. If I had known that telling you which movie I prefered would have caused so much pain and suffering, I surely wouldn't have don it. Again, I apologize, and will in the future refrain from such selfish actions.
Blade Runner and 2001 are close seconds. Though, the book for 2001 is superior.
I never saw Blad Runner; and 2001 is in a category of excellence all by itself.
