All Alien and Predator Movies Ranked - Top 10
Like most long running movie franchises with horror roots, the Alien/Predator franchise has its fair share of not so great movies but also like most long running movie franchises with horror roots, the Alien/Predator franchise has a few great movies. In this franchise there’s only two films I really don’t like, so I’m counting it as a win. This is my personal opinion (for now) and it doesn’t really mean anything so try not to get angry when you see how high Prometheus is. Let’s rank every Alien and Predator movie shall we.
10. Aliens vs Predator Requiem
On darkest set, in blackest night, All Aliens shall escape my sight. Let those who Film PredAlien's might, beware my power, Because AVP Requiem is Shite.
9. Alien Resurrection
A gross mess that added nothing good to the Alien universe. Messed up tone, messed up characters and the most unappealing alien creature in the history of Alien and Predator.
Seeing Alien Resurrecting is like going to that restaurant that you like and since nothing on the menu is sticking out to you to you go with the soup because you’ve had the soup three other times and you enjoyed it those times, you trust the soup. But then the soup comes and it’s not even the soup you ordered and there’s a weird gross half fly half human creature in it.
8. Predator 2
I like what Predator 2 gave us, it added some of the coolest things about the Predator into the series and has a pretty cool end fight but despite the effort the rest of the movie just isn’t effective, that includes characters and the rest of the scenes.
7. Predators
The more I think about this movie the more I dislike it but I know I secretly enjoyed it. I liked the dogs and I actually like the new Predators, I didn’t like how the movie felt like it was trying to say it was better than the original and Adrian Brody, as good as he can be. He was extremely miscast. How hard did he put on that voice?
6. Alien vs Predator
This movie is so much fun, you have to love the action scenes and they don’t cut away from the good stuff. There’s even some cool horror-ish shots. It’s a shame the characters were a massive let down, a totally unappealing cast and a lead that was MADE for Dutch and no one else.
5. Alien³
Totally underrated. Dark, moody and back to basics, Alien³ has a lot going for it. Not a lot of people will agree with me but it’s my honest opinion that Alien³ is overlooked and wrongfully convicted.
4. Predator
A good old Arnie action movie aided by some awesome Stan Winston work makes Predator, fun, quotable and holder of one of the coolest alien creatures on the big screen. Predator is always a good time.
3. Prometheus
Gorgeous and well-acted, Prometheus is another Alien movie with more bad to its name than good. The script changes put a massive dent in this film but some super tense scenes and some amazing visuals puts Prometheus pretty high on my list.
2. Aliens
Great fun. Aliens takes the awesome Xenomorph from Alien, times it by 50 and adds another cast of fun characters. It adds crazy action and one of the coolest things to ever grace a movie screen, the queen alien.
1. Alien
The film that introduced us to some of the greatest creatures and worlds in horror and sci-fi. Alien has a great cast, great set design and amazing atmosphere which makes it the most effective in the series. It’s rightfully one of the most legendary genre movies ever made. Hell, it’s one of the most legendary movies ever made in general. How many movies can you call sexually interesting?
That’s the end of Xenomonth but it’s not the end of Xeno content, “stick around” for more Alien comic reviews, probably some alien discussion posts and reviews for every Predator movie. General horror movie, comic and game reviews will continue to be posted now too. Hope you enjoyed it.
