Join us at the Rio Theatre for a Double Creature Feature screening of one of our all-time favourite franchises! We’re going into deep space with James Cameron’s 1986 sequel, ALIENS (The Director’s Cut).

After floating in space for 57 years, Lt. Ripley’s (Sigourney Weaver) shuttle is found by a deep space salvage team. Upon arriving at LV-426, the marines find only one survivor, a nine year old girl named Newt (Carrie Henn). But even these battle-hardened marines with all the latest weaponry are no match for the hundreds of aliens that have invaded the colony.

“Cameron is a master of machinery and weaponry, a technical wizard who replaces Scott’s refinement with his own kind of muscularity… But with either film, you leave the theater drained, physically exhausted, well-rewarded for all your suffering.” (Newsday)

“It’s like a romantic symphony that won’t come to an end. But it keeps you high.” (New York Magazine)

“Delivering generously on the promise he demonstrated in The Terminator, Cameron has given us a seamless motion picture that transforms its not-for-all-tastes subject matter into the stuff of across-the-board appeal.” (Fort Worth Star-Telegram)
