Aliens has hit the big 3-0 this year, but one thing most people could agree upon is that it doesn’t really look like it. James Cameron’s movies age very well, look at Terminator 2: Judgement Day for example. Maybe one of the reasons Aliens ages so well is that it borrows from Star Wars‘ ‘used future’ palette, i.e. nothing in the future is going to be thoroughly pristine. There’s also a certain minimalism involved in Aliens, and the military itself simply doesn’t do fashion… camo and body armour rarely changes.
Some things from this movie however are really ahead of their time. Let’s take a look at five of them, as well as two additional things that simply don’t make sense.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.

Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
