I don't think that the first 2 movies are dated much at all, they hold up miraculously to me with only a few visual effects spaceship moments that shows it's age. Is the technology used in the film dated "technically" yes but not in a way that's cheap or rudimentary. The tech still looks bloody cool and sci-fi


And by the way I'm only 20 so if anyone I should be the one saying they look like garbage compared to modern age technology and movies.


I grew up on 80's movies though and other movie classics my Father showed me but because I was quite young I could never really appreciate them for what they are. Wasn't until I was about 17 when I rewatched Aliens that it truly struck me how amazing the film was and to this day I'm still trying to go back and rewatch all the classic movies I was shown as a kid because It's like watching them for the first time now that I can truly appreciate them.


So I guess what I'm saying is for me as time goes on it's doing the opposite of becoming dated, it's becoming more engaging and i'm understanding / appreciating  a lot more of what is going on.


And yes I believe in another 20 years I'll be watching Aliens again however it will be from a different perspective, life changes you as you go on and I reckon I'll come away from the movie having got something different out of it then from what I do now.


Truth is that there's a lot more films from the 20th century that look soo much more dated than Alien, Aliens etc. and it's mostly due to resorting to CGI instead of practical effects.
