James Cameron

Pulls out the stops, setting the gold standard for expensive, explosive summer blockbusters.

A cyberpunk picture that flirts with emotional resonance but mostly focuses on the gut...testosterone-fueled, estrogen-boosted action melodrama.

[Though] he's like the Joe Garagiola of the deep...Cameron's unadvisable whims are excusable: as a coffee table book, Aliens of the Deep is a beaut.

Worth seeing—and, yes, in a theater—for its legitimate "wow factor"...a visually intriguing diversion and instant movie history.

It's time to get cra-zay, Alien fans.
