Boring WeirdoI read that too fast as the “Allen franchise” and thought you meant Woody Allen and that his entire filmography was one giant MCU-style franchise.

imightbealex.bsky.socialThe first two are among the best sci-fi/horror films ever made. Diminishing returns thereafter.

JThomasAlbertThe first one came out when i was 9, but my parents didn't let me see it until I was 13 which was, I must admit, a good call.

NutMegThe TTRPG is a lot of fun, with a Stress mechanic which gives extra dice to roll as the situation becomes more tense, but risks characters breaking down at an inopportune moment.
It also ties into the Blade Runner TTRPG too, for a little extra fun.

Cozy Sr. (Fudge’s Father)honestly aliens is mid, I think alien is the only one that holds up including all the new ones and the trailer for Romulus
1 2JThomasAlbert"Aliens" was a great popcorn movie. I like it for that.
But few films have really gotten to me the way the original did.

🐈⬛🪦 Alfie! 🎃👻If you play videogames check out Alien Isolation. It's the only other piece of aliens media that captured what the first movie made me feel
2 2JThomasAlbertI am so very much into it.
I start a new game and play it through at least once a year.
1 1🐈⬛🪦 Alfie! 🎃👻I mean that's more than me at this point lol
1 1JThomasAlbertI really love the way the developers captured that late 1970s/early 1980s sci-fi aesthetic.
They could have had highly-sophisticated CGI androids, but the Working Joes look like people in suits because that's what would have been in a movie at that time.
PyperkubI got stuck escaping an android ambush!
Cozy Sr. (Fudge’s Father)gosh I wanted to, like it had everything going for it and then somehow it just draggedddd toward the middle and end. maybe it was expectations tho, alien is so goddamn good.

Your🐀text🐀here1 - horror masterpiece
2 - excellent action movie
3 - terrible don't watch
4 - also terrible but in a fun way
Prometheus - divisive but maybe my favorite
Covenant - terrible don't watch
Gabe JAlien and Aliens are obviously awesome, I also liked a lot both Covenant and Prometheus. Alien 3 and Resurrection are skippable. Stoked for Romulus.
A Sentient Pile of SpaghettiOh! And if you can get the Directors Cut of Aliens it's worth it. Lots of interesting and completely-produced scenes were cut.
A Sentient Pile of Spaghettii'm an "it ended with Aliens" guy. the rest of the franchise is massively flawed -- so far. i'm going to watch Romulus to be sure, but my expectations aren't high. if you watch the first two films you'll probably like them -- unless you really don't like survival horror.
José Ignacio Suárez Armas 🦋I wonder if all of them are on Disney+
Kevin VerhoffI just watched them for the first time this winter. Really great movies
