    Mickey 17

    ★★★½

    -Enjoyed the film!
    -Robert Pattinson and Robert Pattinson were fun to watch. I liked Naomi Ackie & her character too. Felt more fleshed out than the average Hollywood love interest. Lots of fun little side characters too like Dorothy
    -First half was interesting and raised interesting ideas about how clones would interact but second half felt a little more generic sci-fi action movie
    -Ruffalo's Trump impression was a little too on the nose for me. Imitating the voice and even some…

    Aliens

    ★★★★

    -less horror, more action than the original. made obvious for example by how brightly lit everything is in comparison to Alien, the monsters are more visible, the final acts are basically non stop action, etc. It works but definitely a different style of film
    -Ripley gets more to her character in this one and I like it. Rest of the characters are a little thin but that's similar to Alien too
    -Set design, costumes, practical effects are all really cool…
