    So, I watched all these movies, including Alien and Aliens, for the very first time last week. Prior to that, my only real thought on the franchise was, "Xenomorph rad.," but I genuinely enjoyed watching all 7 of them! My ranking is going to be so unpopular but here it goes:
    1. Prometheus
    2. Alien
    3. Alien 3
    4. Alien: Covenant
    5. Alien: Romulus
    6. Aliens (I'm so sorry everyone I still enjoyed it.)
    7. Alien: Resurrection
    There's just something about the ideas and gravitas of Ridley Scott's films that I gravitate towards. And yeah, Alien 3 rocks. I'm a sucker for franchise films with bleak, hopeless tones that almost seem to want to thrive against audience expectation. (Also see: Rob Zombie's Halloween II.) I mean let's be real, being stuck in one of these films would be the most terrifying thing ever. I'd rather hurl myself into space.
    Ending thought: Yep, Xenomorph rad.

    @sheldong1031 4 месяца назад +1

    Ripley in Aliens is one of my favorite characters on film, and certainly one of the most heroic film characters of all time. I think Alien deserves to be number one though, as not only is it a masterclass in the horror, psychological thriller, and slasher genres, but Scott also created the platform for all other films in the franchise to stand. The nuance in costume, set design, and sound alone are revolutionary (and are mostly simply borrowed by Cameron in its sequel). Scott's directorial choice in making Ripley the protagonist, while hiring a mostly unknown actress to play her in contrast to her costars and their previous fame (notably Hollywood titans like Tom Skerrit as Dallas, John Hurt as Kane, and Ian Holm as Ash) was the brilliant setup for Ripley's success as a character as well as the foundation of the film's feminist prowess. Nice list!

    My complaints about Romulus are the same. Maybe I will be more forgiving in time, but it was so purposefully derivative. I felt pandered to, and honestly a little saddened to think that the franchise has nothing left but to recycle even the bad ideas.

    Sydney a great list and video, for me Aliens is still the best, it just made a huge impact on me as 12 year old when I watched it in the cinema (yes my Dad is cool for taking me to an R-rated movie). Alien 3 is still difficult for me to accept and get through because of the way it disregards Newt and Hicks.

  • @maxrdev703
    @maxrdev703 4 месяца назад

    Mine personally goes:
    1: Alien - Just the dread, characters, intelligent decisions make me so involved right the way through
    2: Aliens - Great continuation, well chosen setting and premise and completed the life cycle of the Xenomorph while having another great cast
    3: Romulus - Visually the best in my opinion. Andy and Rain's dynamic is amazing and they're some of my favourite characters. While there some smaller issues for me (like characters being able to just pull a face-hugger off, the use of the black goo still) and yeah there was nothing new innovative in the film but it was a good watch, a fun spin-off with a well written reason to explore the Romulus and Remes station.
    4: Alien 3 - Not a fan that they kill Newt and Hicks straight away but it was alright, had clever solutions to get rid of the alien. My main issue is it just ruined the end of Aliens just to bring it back to the exact same point at the end of the film.
    5: Prometheus - I like the idea for the lore with Engineers and how the Xenomorph is created, really cool concept. But the film itself is just bad in my opinion, there's so many stupid decisions and minor flaws that I just dislike this film. I just don't think any of it needed explained. Leaving the Engineers unexplained in the original film I think would've been much cooler.
    6: Alien Covenant - Simular issues to Prometheus just worse... The cast I thought were worse and even more random and unexplained decisions.
    7: Alien Resurrection - It's just bad... Ripley's resurrection makes no sense, how did they even get a blood sample?? Even if they did the Alien Queens shouldn't have been in the mix... Regardless... Why do the mercenaries even stay on the ship after dropping off the victims?? Plus Ripley is just nothing like herself, she just acts bizarre, I can exactly blame Sigourney Weaver as she must have been fed up of the films at that point.

    I’m shocked tbh how much you like 3 considering that Aliens is your favorite. To me that movie just bums me out so much but I am glad you elaborated on why cause it makes more sense to me what works about it for some people. I really want to like it cause I like every other movie and would like to be able to say I liked it more cause I like the rest. I did watch the Assembly cut on my most recent watch for context.

Alien is #1, I love the two prequels, and - although I like to revisit films and leave some time before rankings, I think that Romulus stands its ground very well. Enjoyed it a lot.

    The least interesting one is exactly what I feel about Romulus. Not bad by no means, but it just gave me nothing. I am pretty sure I will be more positive towards it in the future when it's "just another Alien movie in my yearly Alien-marathon" instead of the new interesting Alien flick!
    My ranking is cheating a bit because. 1) Alien (My all-time favorite movie 2) Aliens. But then I have 3, Resurrection, Covenant & Prometheus tied. I simply like each one for completely different reasons and I seem to switch between then whenever I watch them all! Romulus last, but it's still 3/5 for me, so that's a pretty good for last place!

    I watched Alien for the first time during the 2020 lockdown and then I watched one a day until I finished the series. Aliens was a massive disappointment. The rest of the originals were fun and I embraced the increasing weirdness with great pleasure. Then I got to the prequels and I was nervous because I remember all the hate they got and so I was shocked when I thought they were two of the strongest movies in the whole franchise. Really enjoyed Romulus even though it was basically a highlight reel of all the other movies lol It’s hard to rank them all considering Alien is the only one I’ve rewatched (like 5 times lol) but I’d go

    3. Romulus - A re-invigoration of practicals in a cgi heavy industry, awesome surprise at the end. Meh characters...
    4. Resurrection - Very 90s but fun if you lean into it.

    1. Alien: Honestly astonishing every time I watch it. The pure instincts Ridley has on his second feature are legit insane to me. I'll never stop being surprised by it.
    2. Alien 3: Understands Ridley's nihilism perfectly even if the technical stuff and some story elements don't work. It's just so purely committed to despair in a way I really admire. The chestburster scene in this one remains unmatched for me.
    3. Aliens: Hot take but I'm not a fan of Newt as a plot device, or how she supplants the daughter Ripley never gets a chance to mourn so quickly, but mannn everything else is undeniable. Having multiple aliens weirdly makes them feel less threatening though.
    4. Prometheus: Turned the sound off and watched this with an ambient score once and it went up a full star. Genuinely one of the best special effects films ever made, and a visual masterwork. David is an all-timer character. The script is very disjointed and silly though. Sorta gestures at a lot of interesting things but doesn't quite explore any of them.
    5. Covenant: Again everything with David is so compelling that I was sorta white-knuckling my way through any scene he wasn't in. This is also literally the plot of Sunshine (solar powered ship on a high-stakes mission picks up a rogue signal that veers them off course, leading to a trap set by a zealot).
    6. Resurrection: Very wild and bursting with ideas, and also really dumb in ways it's hard to forgive, but I wish we'd had a director this specific for Romulus.
    7. Romulus: Weirdly tame on gore, heavy on constant score, sound, callbacks, references, and recreations of shots and scenes from the franchise. David Jonsson is fantastic but otherwise this was a big oof for me. Had me wishing for a director and script that took chances instead of borrowing from the big swings others took.

    Glad you put Romulus in last place, where it belongs, and spoke to the many positive aspects to Covenant, Prometheus, and Alien³. I love Covenant. Your comments about the horny Frenchman and the anime eyes in Resurrection were funny. One thing I appreciated about your ranking video is your attention to characters, which all of the previous films in the series had in spades. Romulus was really weak in this department, and I'm holding both the script and actors accountable. Flat-out didn't care about the space orphans and the Forrest Whitaker-pinched bit the synthetic was doing through most of the film.

    Romulus is definitely better than some of the films on a technical level but it lacks the unique voice and style that every other film has. While some of the scenes in Romulus were alright, I just wish Álvarez chose to do something more crazy. While Romulus’ creature at the end isn’t original to it specifically, it has the horror and wildness I wish the whole film had.
