It's a fractured timeline, but we believe in you-you can keep up. But if you really wanted to (and, again, we don't recommend it) this would be the chronological order: Prometheus (2012)īut, again, seriously, if you want to actually watch these movies the way they're meant to be watched (and if you want to get the most out of them), just watch in the order they came out. By starting with the newer films that take place earlier in the timeline, you'll be spoiling those older films for yourself. But, really, we would not recommend those at all! There are key reveals and key references made that assume the viewer has watched and understood the previous Alien films. So if you want to watch them in "chronological" order, you'd watch those first. The newer films in the Alien franchise are technically prequels. The rest of the movies have some degree of a throughline, but those, really, don't. Predator movies (which are also mostly unrelated from the rest of the Alien world). We're specifically going to exclude the Predator franchise (which is, you know, an entirely different world) and the two Alien vs. And there's really only one best way to do that.īefore we get too into it, a couple quick things. That seems like an interesting cue to start watching (or, for many of us rewatching) the Alien movies.
PROMETHEUS 2 FULL MOVIE WATCH SERIES
While we don't know about the future on the big screen, it was announced last year that Noah Hawley (who's previously made the Fargo show and Legion) will be making his own Alien series for FX. Scott returned to the world of Alien in 20 for a pair of prequels, titled Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, continuing to round the world of the Weyland company out even decades later.
Of course, the Alien franchise evolves director James Cameron (ever heard of him?) took over for Aliens, the second and substantially bigger film, in 1986, and the franchise has continued to expand its world and its ambition in the years since. It's all about the mood and the dread of what could be coming. Why? Because there's hardly any special effects-there was nothing to date or age poorly. The movie is nearly half a century old, but still manages to hold the tension and thrills of a movie that could've come out last week. Īlien began in 1979 with the titular film, which to this day remains one of if not the best movie that legendary (and prolific) director Ridley Scott has made. But there's one franchise that's been going for 40+ years now (and counting) that combines all of that-and that's the world of Alien.
We can talk for days about Sci-Fi stories, horror movies, and all-around action flicks.
