The Alien franchise has been a bit of a mixed bag for the last three decades. While the first Alien was a monumentally influential movie, and its James Cameron-led follow-up, Aliens, was almost just as groundbreaking, 1992's Alien 3 marked the start of a downward spiral for the Sci-Fi franchise. Even series creator Ridley Scott's return couldn't save Alien, with Prometheus and Alien: Covenant receiving middling receptions. But then along came Alien: Romulus.
