Great example of a sequel of equal quality as the original

Rating: 9/10 (9 June 2019)

It was a great idea to take the story and universe of the original Alien movie and give it to a completely different director to take it in an opposite direction. While the first movie defined the space sci-fi horror genre, Aliens is the classic film set up all the rules for all the sci-fi action flicks for years to follow.
I just watched the Director's Cut for the first and while it makes for a very long movie, all the added scenes are welcome and don't feel out of place. I highly recommend giving it a try!
