We can’t wait for Alien: Romulus, which aims to strike a delicate balance between the horror thrills of the original 1979 movie and James Cameron’s action-heavy sequel. If you’re in the mood to get back into the iconic sci-fi universe ahead of Romulus, maybe you’ll enjoy this look at the series’ most impressive ships.
The Alien movie franchise (soon to be joined by an Alien TV series) is quite weird in that no two installments are the same, with each director and set of writers bringing their own sensibility to not just the creature, but also the universe surrounding it. However, there are some constants, including all the amazing work that goes into making the tech and spaceships as believable and memorable as possible. The outlier here might be Alien 3, which had a noticeably smaller scale and mostly was set inside an underground prison.
