- Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. Release date: December 25, 2007. Cast: Steven Pasquale, Reiko Aylesworth, John Ortiz. 20th Century Fox’s (now Studios) second go at AvP was met with abysmal reviews and a cold shoulder from most fans, although it delivered enough unrestrained nastiness and refreshing in-universe concepts to get diehard fans talking.

Some people might argue that the Alien vs Predator films don't belong in the actual series. But there are clearly some big connections between these film and the original series which began in 1979.

Apart from showing us a brief glimpse of the P...
Prometheus was the long-awaited return of Ridley Scott to the Alienfranchise which he helped kick off all those years ago. While it clearly takes a lot of the visual cues and settings of the original film, Scott wanted to avoid making a direct prequel to his own film which means that not all the questions are answered. The movie takes place in 2093...
Alien: Covenant is the sequel to Prometheus, and therefore still a prequel to 1979's Alien. The movie finds a colony spacecraft in the year 2104 making an emergency landing on a planet which was supposedly home to The Engineers. Once again, the doomed crew falls victim to the deadly alien creatures, who are still not quite the Xenomorphs we know an...

After getting a distress signal from a nearby planet, the crew unwitti...

For Aliens, he traded in the claustrophobic horror style of the first and made a full-blown action film. Set in 2179, Ripley is rescued after decades of being in cryogenic sl...
Alien 3 was David Fincher's directorial debut and, sadly, it was not the ideal display for his immense talents as a filmmaker. After the events of Aliens, the ship that Ripley and the other survivors escaped on is damaged and crash lands on a space outpost which serves as a prison. Ripley is the only human survivor of the crash along with some Xeno...

It finds Ripley cloned and being used to help create new Xenomorphs for military purposes. Of course, that plan backfires and Ripley teams with a group of mercenaries to destroy the creatures. To d...
