8. I liked the film, I suspended my disbelief and went with the parts that make me imagine - I found the film quite lovely.

8 for the Theatrical version. 9 for the Special Edition. Absolutely loved this film.

Not too high, very childish movie, waste of time actually

I give it a 9 out of 10 and rate it right up there with Aliens, T2 and Avatar. I think it's great and sadly under appreciated.

Agreed, same as "spookyrat1" ses

I give it a 9. It's by far the best Cameron movie. The characters are all well-rounded, the photography is glorious, the story is very cool. It's his most 'human' movie.

I think the scene were Lindsay dies and is then revived is about the most amazing demonstration of 'love' I've ever scene. Genius.

I struggled to get through it and at times found myself pleading for it to move on.

I know people may like the characters but I found them unlikable or undeveloped (at least in the theatrical version I saw).

There were a couple suspenseful scenes where I thought the movie might turn, but they were too little, too late. That, and any gains went out the window with the brural ending.

5/10

Side note: seems like Armaggedon ripped this off and managed to make an even worse film. Dear Lord..

10 for me. One of the best roller coaster movies I'd ever seen at the time - I saw it in a HUGE theater when it came out and it was a fantastic, immersive film that way.
Everyone likes different things, I really enjoy watching this movie, still to this day. An all time favorite.

A 9 from myself.

9/10.

This is an excellent movie, one that may not have gotten as much credit as it deserved. If you liked the original, then I highly recommend the Special Edition.
