Want to facehugger-proof your movie marathon? Then you need the *right* order to experience the terrifying saga of the Alien franchise. Forget chronological, go for maximum suspense and impact!
Here's my suggested viewing order to avoid spoilers and preserve the narrative tension:
1. **Alien (1979):** Start with the masterpiece. The claustrophobia and dread are unmatched.
2. **Aliens (1986):** Action-packed sequel that expands the universe. A must-see.
3. **Alien 3 (1992):** Divisive, but necessary for Ripley's journey.
4. **Alien Resurrection (1997):** Over-the-top and fun, if you're not too precious about the lore.
5. **Prometheus (2012):** Prequel exploring the Engineers. Best viewed after the originals.
6. **Alien: Covenant (2017):** Continues the Prometheus storyline, connecting to the original Alien.
Why this order? It balances the suspense of the original with the action of the sequels before delving into the more philosophical prequels. Get ready to scream!
