I have so much love for Alien
One of my favourite horror movies! The xenomorph looked fantastic and after seeing how it was all made, it makes it so much more impressive. this movie builds tension so well and Ripley is one of my favourite heroines of all time. Jones also being my favourite animal hero of all time of course. I don't think i could think of a more amazing horror monster than a chest bursting, face hugging, scary motherfucker xenomorph. it will be giving nightmares still for years to come.

I see from most of the reviews that this film wasn't favoured but in my opinion I love back and origin stories. Alien to resurrection were how the Xenomorph species expanded and developed. This film and it's predecessor explore where the deadliest creature in the universe came from. I do hope there is another to link up with the 1979 Alien film.
I know with Alien franchise it's all about the horror and suspense but a story and plotline is important too. I am glad Ridley Scott did get the opportunity to fill in the gaps unanswered in the preceding films.
Bring on the next one, me want more!

Terrifyingly Good
This film is a classic. An excellent example of a sci-fi horror and probably Ridley Scott's best film. The Xenomorph is one of the scariest creatures in film today, everything about it is terrifying and paired with the tense confines of a spaceship, is the stuff of nightmares. There are some fantastic visual effects for the time, great cast performances and who doesn't love Jonesy the cat? One of my all time favourites.

A good romp with some tense atmospherics.
A great premise with some stunning CGI. Some of the scenes feel a bit forced as they have borrowed alot from other xenomorph/horror films.
Ryan Reynolds plays Ryan Reynolds with his quirky and snappy sarcasm carrying through.
Jake Gylenhall was a favourite of mine as he generally brings another character to the table.
All in all a enjoyable flick with lashings of aliens and enough tension to keep you interested.

Again, the same as Prometheus, I liked the movie despite hearing lots of other negative reviews. In this movie they hearkened back to using more models rather than heavily relying on CGI. Such disturbing scenes and I wasn't the only one in the cinema who giggled at the weird flute playing scene.
overall, I loved this movie and will watch it again when I get the opportunity. Loved exploring all the new worlds and seeing the cool new xenomorph creations.

Lives up to the original and more
Aliens is the perfect example of how to do a sequel properly. Not only does it match the excellence of the first Alien film, it almost surpasses it. There are some elements of claustrophobia and suspense, but this has now been paired with lots of action, and it works really well. The casting is great and the new characters are a welcome addition, and bring a lot of humour. The Xenomorph itself is still as terrifying as before, but with a whole new 'team' dynamic thrown in. James Cameron has done a fantastic job with this one.

I can't lie to you about your chances, but... you have my sympathies.
I'll update this as I get more into the book, but I dove into Alien Out of The Shadows after a Xenomorph kick (I like to pretend the movies after the first two do not exist). It brings you back to the chaos, and Ripley is in the mix as this is set between Alien and Aliens. Hopefully, they can capture that feeling.
** Update: You know, for a quick read it was a really, really good book to delve back into the world of Alien/s. There was only one part that let me down and the rest? Well, let's say I'm going to be coming back to the sequel. Great fun if you love the universe and want to continue your ride.

The second - although I read/listened to it third - in a new(ish) series of Canonical Alien stories, this one is set even further in the future than the previous entry (Alien: River of Pain) and follows a descendant of Ellen Ripley, Alan Decker, who is an empath and who is forced to join a team of mercenaries investigating a dig on the planet known as New Galveston: a dig that has unearthed something that is probably better left forgotten …
Yep, Weyland-Yutanio is at it again, sending in a team of unprepared and ill-advised soldiers (or, here, mercenaries) in an attempt to gather a 'specimen' alive: a team that, of course - with a few exceptions - finds itself completely outclassed by the Xenomorph, who are here shown to hold a particularly impressive millennial-old grudge against 'The Destroyer', one Ellen Ripley (or her descendants).
