Aliens
After rewatching the first Alien, I felt the need to rewatch the second one, especially after hearing the reactions of an acquaintance who had just discovered it.
I have to admit that it's an incredible sequel, completely different from the first in terms of atmosphere. This one really focuses on action and we see a lot of the aliens (the queen is terrifying, I don't know how I wasn't traumatized at 8 years old), unlike the first one, which focuses on tension and silences that make us anxious, and where we see the alien very few times, but its appearances are extremely memorable.
The aesthetics of the ships are as stylish as ever. You can tell that it's not the same director, but they've both done an exceptional job.
I'd say the two films are on the same level, but preferences vary depending on whether you prefer action or horror and suspense.
It fully deserves its success!
