Not to mention, her grudge against the Weyland-Yutani Corporation saw what looked like its ultimate resolution. With Ellen Ripley carrying a queen alien embryo inside of her, and Weyland-Yutani wanting to recover this specimen for their ultimately nefarious purposes, her supposed death was the ultimate nail in the coffin. With her DNA on file, and the queen embryo mixed in as part of the state that Ripley was found in Alien 3 , a new queen Xenomorph is also born, as part of the same military experiment.
Should you be looking for a recommendation though, it would be safe to side with the chronological order, as they help flesh out events and themes that the franchise ultimately aims to portray throughout its entire run. And keep in mind, should Ridley Scott get to make another Alien prequel , planned to fit somewhere between Alien: Covenant and Alien , the bonds between the modern and classic era of the Alien timeline just might get even stronger. Alien: Covenant takes place more than a decade after Prometheus , in A recent prologue links the events of the two films and fills in some of the gap, but not all of it.
From there, we get into the original films: Alien takes place two decades after Covenant in , while Ripley wakes up from stasis 57 years later in Aliens. Alien 3 is set immediately after Aliens. Finally, Alien: Resurrection makes a huge jump to Either way, it seems as though Scott is now looking to set up the original Alien with these new films, rather than mess with the post- Aliens era. The Alien franchise seems to be split into two big arcs right now.
It stands to reason that the film would have continued with some of the themes explored in Aliens , with the inimical Weyland-Yutani Corporation continuing to explore the potential of using the aliens as weapons. Most importantly, Sigourney Weaver said the film would give her character a satisfying ending.
It was also meant to let Fox correct mistakes made in the previous sequels. Subscribe to get the best Verge-approved tech deals of the week.

Crew members on a colonizing expedition on the ship Covenant Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride and Michael Fassbender as another android among them stumble upon what appears to be a message from Shaw and follow it to a planet inhabited by unfriendly creatures.
After the release of Prometheus , Ridley Scott said that there would be at least three more prequels to the original Alien , including Covenant. He has reportedly already written the sequel to Covenant. The original film: A distress signal wakes the crew of the ship Nostromo from stasis. They fly to a planet to investigate only to encounter an alien creature that is able to mate with one of the humans. The resulting alien hybrid attempts to take them out one-by-one.
The faithful depictions of the efficiency of the predator up against the vicious scourge of xenomorphs, and a script with references to both franchises help make this a movie fans can appreciate, but general audiences may struggle to appreciate.
Ridley Scott returned to the Alien franchise 33 years later with a prequel, Prometheus. Thematics feel sacrificed in favor of large-scale set pieces in the latter half, but the special effects, script, and characters are captivating until the credits. It may lack the technical innovation of Alien before it, but there's a magical quality to watching Ridley Scott work with modern tools in the universe he established during a different era of filmmaking.

It opts for more philosophical and metaphorical thematic exploration than corporate criticism, and—like Prometheus—it's at its best when it escapes the boundaries the franchise was established inside of. Predator aliens arrive to clean up the outbreak before they lose their hunting grounds to the rapidly growing horde. Immediately following the events of AVP , a predator alien ship transporting face-huggers crash lands outside a small, wooded town.
As the xenomorphs multiply, a single predator alien is dispatched to stem the growing tide of xenomorphs crashing over the town. Nearly 90 years after the events of both AVP films, Prometheus follows a team of scientists on their journey across space to find an alien race they believe to be responsible for the creation of the human race.
This film is the visual representation of being too busy asking if you could that you never stopped to ask if you should. A colony ship transporting sleeping colonists is diverted from course by an emergency transmission from an Earth-like planet. It takes place a decade after the events of Prometheus , but flashbacks and dialogue fill the gaps and further the themes introduced in the prequel.
