Both aged exceptional. Comparing them never made much sense. First is the best sci fi horror movie ever and Aliens maybe the best Sci Fi action movie. Very different in styleAlien did not age poorly in comparison to Aliens. In fact, I'd argue Alien aged better.
Watching one of the modern CGI trash movies in comparison is just sad. Have watched Event HOrizon recent and it was better than every modern sci fi movie I have watched in a long time. Honestly the effects back then were more gritty and just better in general.
Regarding the List Terminator 2 has one huge flaw that it was designed very much for mass market appael which imo took a lot out of the movie. toned down violence and script. Way too much focus on the buddy aspect and Arnie as a pet. I know I am in the minority but I much prefer Terminator1. Thats an uncrompromising execution of Camerons vision. T2 is in quite some scenes a weak compromise between die hard action movie and toned down family movie with cringe jokes that annihilate the apocalyptic athmosphere several times.
