![]() One of the best sci-fi/horror franchises of all time, with... not that many great entries, to be completely honest, at least in the main movie series. Only two universally loved movies, with a third that is pretty much an insult to the second, a fourth that is kinda entertaining but still not good, a versus movie with the Predator with a couple of really badass moments, the sequel to that (the least said about it, the better, the only redeemeable thing is the Predalien) and two tolerable and okay prequels, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. Personally it's a bit hard to rank these movies, but the first two will forever be on top of the others. |

Where would AVP be in that list? I know you'd probably place AVP: Requiem below Prometheus, though that movie has the Predalien, and that's still quite a bonus. Better than having the Xeno being replaced by that worthless Deacon. |

Aliens Alien Prometheus AVP (for sheer fun factor) Alien Covenant Alien 3 Alien Resurrection AVP2 I have no idea what they were doing with AVP2. Being PG13 made AVP kinda silly but it was a kind of silly that was still fun, randomly morphing it in to a s*** R rated movie with abysmal characters was just...so stupid. Literally the only cool thing was the Predalien, even though you barely ever see it and especially not with that f***ing awful dark filter that's throughout like the whole movie. The characters were the worst though, not a single interesting one or single line that makes you care about anyone. Oh no that person died! Good, that means we're one step closer to the end of the movie Alien 3 would probably be lower if I was a bigger fan of the movies and I've only seen it like...twice maybe, both times it was just kind of on TV so wasn't massively invested in paying attention. It was okay. A dumb cheap kind of okay. Now I want to watch the original Alien...it's probably been like 5 years at least. |

The first AVP movie was PG13 but they still got away with a considerable amount of gore, because I guess it doesn't count when the guts being shown belong to the aliens (shouldn't be too surprised, the director of AVP also directed the Mortal Kombat movie). It also had that one mountain-climbing badass Alexa Woods who earned Scar's respect and even got herself the mark of a warrior on the cheek by other Yautjas (plus a Xeno shield and spear as trophies and a combistick). It's a shame we'll most likely never see her again due to the AVP movies not being canon to either series. Also, I love this poster.

Yeah I was really excited for them to continue that little verse and then they went R because that's what it needed...gah. The action in that movie was great, it certainly wasn't scary by any means but it was a fun movie. Would have been cool to see Alexa in the second movie if it was PG13 again and she happened to be in the town the s*** happened in, obviously becoming the leader of any survivors. Also just realized this now, AVP2 didn't have a single strong female character which...I think every other Alien related movie has? Except for Resurrection maybe since Ripley was...just not Ripley really. |

She was still a strong female character in Resurrection though she was more weird than anything else, nowhere near as badass as she was in Aliens, that's for sure. |

Aliens Alien Alien Resurrection Alien 3 AVP Alien Covenant Prometheus AVP:R Yeah, no love for Requiem. If I did a fan edit, it'd probably just be a few of Wolf's scenes, the facehuggers getting the dad and kid in the woods, and the Predalien hospital scenes, including the final battle. So basically a 15 minute movie. |

Man, those hospital scenes... Probably some of the creepiest scenes involving the facehuggers (or rather, the facehugger-like implantation of the embryos, since the Predalien's doing all the work), I don't want to imagine what went on inside those poor pregnant women while the bellybursters did their thing.

If you watch the movies for the first time; 1. Alien 2. Aliens 3. Alien Resurrection 4. Alien 3 ....After #3 it doesn't really matter which order 5. AvP 6. Alien Covenant after the first time Aliens is #1. |
