3 days ago · All Alien Movies Ranked Ever since 1979, when Ridley Scott blasted the haunted house formula into deep space, the Alien franchise has been synonymous with brooding atmosphere, strong female leads, eye-covering gore, grotesquely magnificent set design (as originally envisioned by H.R. Giger), and films that just overall ooze with style, along with whatever else that drips out of a Xenomorph’s ...

Thom Yorke would be happy to find no alarms and no surprises with the placement of Aliens vs Predator: Requiem here, because it’s just about everyone’s pick for the worst Alien movie. It’s one of those that you can kind of leave out of the series, if you really want to, and fans of the Predator seriesmight want to leave it out of that one, too. It’s stranded in a bit of a no man’s land cinematically, pitting the two title characters against each other for the second time, but doing it conside...
Director: Paul W. S. Anderson
To get the obvious out of the way first, AVP: Alien vs. Predator has absolutely no business being rated PG-13, given the franchises crossing over here had both had nothing but R-rated installments previously. It ends up being a disappointingly tame movie overall, lacking much by way of violence and intensity in an attempt to appeal to a much wider audience, in turn disappointing older viewers. If AVP: Alien vs. Predator had been a bloodbath, it still wouldn’t have been good necessarily, but t...
Director: Jean-Pierre Jeunet
After a death-filled and rather grim third film, the fourth Alien movie, Alien Resurrection, got kind of literal and effectively resurrected Ripley (well, a clone was made of her, but Sigourney Weaver came back and stuff). If Alien Resurrectionwas also trying to resurrect the series as a whole after a divisive movie, it didn’t quite succeed, though, because this is one of the iffier and least memorable films in the series. That’s not to say it’s terrible. It is a good deal better on a technic...
Director: David Fincher
Visually striking but understandably divisive, Alien 3 is perhaps the most difficult Alien movie to talk about. It followed on from two critically acclaimed films that were both praised for different reasons, which might've necessitated a certain risk-taking attitude toward the whole movie. Whether those behind Alien 3went too far there, or whether the gamble paid off and the whole thing’s underrated… there’s no easy consensus. If you’re in the camp of people who don’t like Alien 3, you’ll pr...
Director: Ridley Scott
The divisiveness continues with Alien: Covenant, a sometimes-derided film that has its strengths and weaknesses, and varying opinions on whether or not the latter outweighs the former. It is, notably, one of the three Alien movies directed by Ridley Scott, and saw him directing something that leaned a little closer to the original film in tone and spirit than his previous film in the series, Prometheus. You get more Xenomorph chaos in this one, which you'd think would’ve made Alien: Covenant...
Director: Fede Álvarez
If you like your Alien movies bloody and horror-focused, then you're in luck, because Alien: Romulus delivers such things quite reliably. The Fede Álvarez-directed movie isn't quite as horrifically gory as his Evil Dead film from 2013, but the itch it scratches isn't dissimilar. There are human characters, they encounter alien life, and a good deal of mayhem and carnage ensues. There’s a little more to Alien: Romulus than it being a mere replica of what came before, but those things are best...
