In 1979 Ridley Scott’s Alien changed the landscape of both the sci-fi and horror movie genres. It also kickstarted a media franchise that is still alive and well today. The success of the 1979 classic has spawned sequels, novels, comic books, toys, and even video games.
The film franchise has three sequels, two prequels and has even crossed over to the Predator movie franchise. Moviegoers can expect to see more of the acid-spewing aliens on the big screen.
But if you are just getting into this popular film franchise you might need some help piecing it all together. Here is a breakdown of the Alien movie saga.

What about the people annihilated by the robot in alien covenant. They were also the Engineers' creation? It would be cool if the monstrous super-scary killing-machine alien types were de-emphasized, killed off. Would love to see movies about more human forms. More scenes of nature and spaceship landings in unfamiliar territory. Kind of bored with the monsters. They're so based on what we know. Why couldn't they engineer an equally scary flying and speaking one without the ridiculous deep-ocean fish "monster" look. I'm sure if creatures with that much power and designed to kill are engineered they don't have to look that way to do the damage.

@@aliray1165 I agree, but in Star Wars I think it can be excused. The prequels displayed civilizations prior to the end of a massive galactic war. When the majority of civilized worlds lose their ability to live freely, you will see a decline in technology and how its used. Only the Empire had monopoly on advanced tech, and they had no oppositions so after the war itself they didn't have reasons to push technology further, rather they went a bit backwards with recreating their idea of a new world.

This dude is supposed to be an "exobiologist" yet continued trying to pet a creepy alien snake-thing despite it taking an obvious threat posture. This dude is supposed to be a geologist yet managed to get lost despite mapping the terrain with his drones (and wearing a device that tells him his location). This woman opened the ship's door just to tell the crew they can't come in. This other dude opened the door again to see what was outside when he had no reason to open it, or better yet, to kick a corpse. Shaw's "pregnancy" happened; no one cared, not even Shaw. This next dude woke up an Engineer like he was a long lost friend. This chick refused to take a few steps sideways. These are supposed to be some of the smartest minds on Earth; scientists and researchers and engineers. Who tf let them in space?

This happens in so many movies in all genres: profoundly self-defeating actions by the protagonists who are hardly ever supposed to be stupid. Maybe it's a deliberate dynamic to get the crowd engaged, like people screaming at the screen: "nooooo... don't go in there". It's a big part of why sci-fi and horror always make me laugh, which is also entertaining I guess. Maybe it's related to the adage "to boldly go..." which should be "to stupidly go...". Actually think of how stupid real space exploration in this day and age is. Stupidity rules alongside very clever tech advancements.

@@nebula0697 Except…it doesn’t though, at least not in sci-fi. Scientists act like scientists and researchers actually know their stuff. In the first Alien movie everyone acted accordingly: the engineers had their wits about them with engineering, the health officer ACTUALLY knew what he was doing (to the point of sabotage), Ripley outright refused to let her friends back in due to that being a violation of quarantine despite those being her literal friends because…you know, unknown alien thing attached to a homeboy’s face, I could go on. If these same characters from Prometheus were in Alien, they would’ve been killed by the chestburster. That’s just how downright stupid and utterly incompetent they are in their roles. And don’t even get me started on Covenant.

@@vincentzakuwan1521 how is that even possible? Covent takes place barely 2 decades before Alien's Nostromo. The crew of the Nostromo find ancient remains of an engineer in 2122, along with the alien eggs. Doesn't seem very logical that 2 decades after xenomorphs were first created by some random android and a space jockey takes some eggs with him for some reason to then crash land on a nearby planet, and aging really quickly somehow and being found a couple of years after by Wayland. I think that engineers kinda already created xenomorphs and deacons for millennia, but after their extinction on their homeworld due to David, the android believed he could cleanse the planet further and repopulate it with his own lifeforms. He created the neomorph as a new version but also decided to recreate the xenomorph and make it even more of a 'perfect organism', which would result in the new xenomorphs. These xenomorph seem to have even more human DNA (probably from Dr. Shaw) than the regular xenos.

There are a few inaccuracies I noticed: 1. The gap between the engineer dissolving himself into water was billions of years (not millions) - it’s meant to signify the original source of all life on earth. 2. LV_233 is not where the engineers originated, it’s like a military installation. 3. They’re vases that contain the black goo and begin to leak it when the temperature/atmosphere changes when the group enters the mural room - they’re not eggs. 4. The engineers weren’t wiped out by a neo-morph - they considered the xenomorph as a deity (it’s the centrepiece of the mural in the mural/vase room). 5. The engineer is not ‘revived’ he’s just come out of hyper sleep.

@rockywaters9592
@rockywaters9592 Рік тому
Not exactly! David didn't create the xenomorph, but he did create the face hugger, which took what the Engineers had done to another level and gave us new results from the pathogen /goo . The Deacon, the neomorph etc were organic looking creatures, while the Protomorph (the result of David's creation) was more biomechanical, and the closest albeit "prototype" to the classic Xenomorph. I see it as David taking the blueprint of what the black goo could achieve and studying it, experimenting, and then finalising it into what he felt was the perfect organism, so it's a creation of both the Engineers and David. Bruce Lee created jeet kun do, but would you say different knowing it was built on a foundation of Kung fu? which was around centuries before Bruce was born, same thing! It's this analogy that makes me lean more towards David being the "essential key" to the creation of the proto /Xenomorph, without him they would never have been.

Actually it occurs to me that the Prometheus timeline invalidates the original AvP. The xenomorph hadn’t been developed by David at that time so it just becomes a “what-if” story not part of canon. Which is a bit sad given it’s got Lance Henriksen there, tying in with bishop... It also makes the Alien skull on the Predator ship in Predator 2 a “huh?” moment, too. I’m not sad about AvP Requiem getting binned by this, though.

Several mistakes in your explanation, but I appreciate the gesture of making this. The Alien Saga is a great series - with the story of Ellen Ripley being one of greatest achievements in sci-fi cinema. The franchise despite its criticisms has remained classy even at its lowest point - Which is still a place most franchises wish they could attain.

If you follow the chronological order like this, everything starts to not make sense at the original Alien film, as the space jockey is completely different and the story line shatters here. The original story line isn't cohesive with Ridley's re-imagined engineer based storyline at all. It all kind of feels like a money factory from alien resurrection.

In my opinion the 1979 first alien film was pure gold. I rewatch it from time to time, and there's nothing that compares to it. The thing that makes the Xenomorph such a scary creature is the ambiguous nature of it. In the original film you have no idea where this creature comes from. And there's a lot of power to that. The scenes of the derelict spaceship, and the cave with the xenomorph eggs are my favorite shots in the film. Your imagination just runs wild at the mystery of those scenes. That is if you haven't seen the other films. I appreciate what Ridley Scott tried to do with the Prometheus origin prequels, but it felt like they just fell short. People are always starving for an origin story, but I think this one should have been left alone. Keep the aliens origin a Mystery, and let the viewers imagination run wild with theories. That's what makes a good monster/ villain

No he didn't because Scott has stated that he doesn't consider the two AvP movies canon so he completely ignored when he started the prequels. In fact Mr. Weyland is played by two different actors in AvP (by Lance Henriksen who also played Bishop in Alien\Aliens\Alien3) and in Prometheus (Guy Pearce).

The bas-relief seen in Prometheus is a rabbit-duck illusion, an image that can be interpreted in two ways. As Prometheus is a film from the Alien franchise, we think of the xenomorph and in the bas-relief we see a xenomorph, but if we change perspective, then we see the image of an ampoule, like those found inside the Engineer spaceship on LV-223, which disperses the mutagenic liquid. In practice, the sequence of the bas-relief was not put in Prometheus as a clue to indicate the existence of xenomorphs in the distant past, but as a reference to the 1979 film.
