agree, I prefer the dark moody atmosphere of the first one to the fun action blockbuster vibes of T2, though they're both good movies. also prefer Arnie as a silent antagonist

Cameron definitely makes sequels that are better than most but I think people go overboard with saying T2 and Aliens are "better than the original" sorry but more explosions != better

But I enjoy both equally? Aliens still gets the win though because I'm in love with it's props.

The climax of alien has way too much strobe lighting

I think Alien > Aliens, too. I also think 3 is a good movie. Alien Resurrection was a dumpster fire, but worth watching for Weaver making the basketball shot and Ron Pearlman breaking character when he gets that dumb grin on his face.

We need a balance of treats to brains.
