James Cameron's muscular sequel doesn't muck about admiring the art direction or trying to be atmospheric, but reinvents the original movie as a gut-busting action thriller. Slimy corporate types have colonised the planet on which a lethal alien predator was discovered in the first film; now contact has been lost and sole survivor Ripley is sent in with the troops to investigate. The ultimate fate of the cat remains a mystery.

After a long, tense build-up, once the action kicks off the film feels relentless, and in the Queen Alien it comes up with a monster just as iconic as the original creature. Great ensemble cast led by Weaver, terrific set pieces, interesting subtext about the maternal instinct. Every other Alien film since has been judged by the standards established here.

About as good as the first
If you enjoyed the first movie, you're more than likely to enjoy the sequel, I went in excited but sceptical, the first Deadpool film was so unique and original, I didn't think that they could pull off a sequel and have it get even close to the same quality. I was pleasantly surprised. This movie if full of laughs, there was a bigger but at then the original so there are more locations, but it doesn't take away from the charm. I'd say the only downside to the film would be the repeated jokes, there were too many that were in the first movie that were just repeated. Overall I'd say there was a good story, excellent action scenes, hilariously funny and it"s just a solid good movie .

Storyline
I normally keep my distance from books that get a lot of hype because, let's be honest, they don't usually deserve it. Even though this book kept popping up all over my feed, the synopsis intrigued me enough to give it a chance.

It's been a while since I've flown through a book. Idk why, but lately it takes me weeks, even if I am enjoying it. The documentary format of this book was original and kept me drawn in. It was like binge watching a docuseries on Netflix. I can't wait to see how the show will come to life and look forward to actually hearing the songs.

If you are looking for your next read, I would definitely recommend Daisy Jones & the Six.

I read this book probably right after I read @Recursion , that was a little in the same vein. The were just too close in my brain, and I liked Recursion more. The main commonality was that the main female character was attempting to find a cure for Alzheimer's because of a parent.
The thing that this scientist invents is the transfer of consciousness between bodies, and if they to switch bodies, the original body's consciousness just stays dormant. This used the trope of, switching bodies to perform... services of certain types. Not really all that original, and when you find out the true situation, it will disgust you even more.
Anyway, I recommend reading Recursion over this novel, or, at the very least, read Recursion first.
