5) Alien vs. Predator

Sanaa Lathan (The Family That Preys) leads the fight in this film about the battle between two of the most powerful creatures in the galaxy, the Aliens (of the Alien franchise) and Predators (of the Predator franchise). Humans, naturally, get caught in the middle of all this chaos and must fight for survival. If you like a lot of action alongside your sci-fi and horror, then this movie is definitely worth checking out if you haven’t already.

4) Alien: Covenant

Alien: Covenant will be the newest movie in the Alien franchise when it is released in May 2017. A space crew lands on a planet that appears to be a paradise - there are monsters lurking in the shadows though. Definitely worth checking out when it is released if you enjoy the Alien franchise. It stars Michael Fassbender (X-Men: Apocalypse).

3) Alien 3

The Aliens decide to make another return in the third installment of the Alien franchise. Ellen Ripley returns and is more determined than ever to rid the galaxy of Alien (because, well, she’s been trying for two movies now and I’m sure it’s getting on her nerves). After the events of the second movie, Ellen’s escape pod crash-lands on a space penal colony and releases Alien “facehuggers” that had been stowed in her pod. Fans of the Alien franchise should not miss out on this terrifying film.

Directed by James Cameron, the sequel to Alien sees Sigourney Weaver return as Ellen Ripley, accompanied by a small girl nicknamed Newt. Ripley must once again face off against the Aliens, determined to wipe them out once and for all. It’s a strong sequel that should not be overlooked.
