There’s a new Alien movie on the horizon, so it’s a good time to check in on where the IGN community stands on the age-old debate of Alien Vs Aliens. It is a battle that will rage on eternally, but as of today – with nearly 200,000 votes logged – there is a clear favorite. Here’s how the eight Alien movies are ranked, from best to worst.
Things could change if Team Alien logs on in force, but right now the margin of victory is fairly decisive, with Aliens winning 78.9% of its matches and Alien defeating its rival 73.7% of the time.
Where do you think Alien: Romulus will end up in this list? It’s a safe bet it’s not going to topple either of the first two, but there’s a fairly massive gap between second and third place; Prometheus has won just 49% of its matches, so Romulus doesn’t have a very high bar to clear in order to push it down the list when it’s added to the Face-Off on August 16, 2024. That’s the optimistic prediction, of course (the trailer certainly does a good job of raising hopes!) but even being pessimistic it’s hard to believe it could dethrone Requiem as the very worst the series has to offer.
