Aided by her friend Isaac (Asa Butterfield), Kayla quickly discovers that the game, named “CURS>R,” is (unsurprisingly) cursed as the choices made in the game begin to bleed over into reality in increasingly more terrifying ways.

This post was originally published on May 15, 2017. One thing's for sure: we haven't seen the last of Alien. The project seems to have ended in development, but that doesn't mean someone else won't come along to pick it back up again. A few years ago, director Neill Blomkamp publicly announced that he was working on a possible Alien 5, a film that would bring Weaver and Ripley back to the franchise. As of now, Alien: Resurrection is where the Alien story ends, but that could change at any moment. Since those movies have less to do with the Alien mythology, they don't really need to fit into the Alien franchise. Predator movies and their place in the timeline, which is pretty murky. (Bonus female heroine played by Winona Ryder!)įor the purposes of sanity, I won't go into the Alien vs. 200 years after the events of Alien 3, Ripley's clone must pick up her likeness' legacy as the xenomorphs continue to pose a threat. Prometheus (2012)Īlien: Resurrection, the last film in the original series, takes place much later, in 2379. So, don't worry, starting from the beginning will still bring you incredible feminist moments and a whole lot of fun. Luckily, Alien movies tend to follow a formula, and the most important part of said formula is having a strong, female protagonist. Fall in love with Ripley and her world, and then you can work your way back to the beginning. If you're hesitant to get into the Alien franchise, I suggest ditching the timeline and starting with Alien. Unfortunately, this means that if you want to start fresh at the beginning, you're going to have to wait two long movies until you get to the introduction of Ripley, Sigourney Weaver's iconic female hero. To star at the beginning of the story, one actually has to start with the most recent Alien release, Prometheus, before working their way up to the original Alien.

The Alien franchise is essentially made up of two separate series - the original films and the prequels. However, as with other massive franchises, the timeline in the Alien narrative has shifted a bit with time, and the ever expanding mythology of the franchise means that the order you should see the Alien movies in doesn't necessarily correlate to the order of their release. Almost 40 years after the original film, Alien, was released in theaters, Scott is gearing up to release the sixth official film in the franchise Alien: Covenant. Ridley Scott's epic Alien franchise is multiplying almost as quickly as the Xenomorph in the movies.
