The Alien series has been on rocky ground for years, but a 2022 streaming hit proves that Disney is surprisingly the best place for the franchise.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT There hasn’t been a truly great Alien movie in decades, but a 2022 streaming hit proves that Disney can deliver one. The Alien franchise has been on shaky ground since 1986’s Aliens set a high bar for the series’ sequels. Every subsequent filmmaker to put their stamp on the franchise – including Ridley Scott, the returning director of the original 1979 Alien film – has struggled to recapture the magic of the first two movies.
Prey Shows What Disney’s Alien Movie Should Be In 2022, Disney released a Predator prequel called Prey. Set in the Great Plains in 1719, Prey revolves around a young Comanche warrior named Naru as she comes face-to-face with a Predator during a ritualistic challenge in which she has to prove she can hunt something that can hunt her back. Prey wasn’t released in theaters, but it performed well on Hulu’s streaming charts and received widespread acclaim from critics.
The Predator & Alien Movie Franchises Have A Similar History The Alien and Predator franchises have a similar history. They both got off to a terrific start with a classic movie that stands perfectly on its own and didn’t need any sequels. Then, over the years, their increasingly lore-heavy sequels were increasingly panned by critics as they got further and further away from the point of the franchise.
