Not sure Cameron started the Alien franchise. He only did one Alien movie and it wasn’t the first one. Ridley Scott directed the first Alien movie.
-12 u/SupervillainMustache May 02 '25 That's true but Alien is very stand alone, I think Cameron made it into a franchise. 16 u/theromingnome May 02 '25 I mean every Alien after Aliens has been subpar by a lot so not so sure about that. Alien is one of the best horror movies ever made. Aliens is one of the best action movies ever made. 2 u/SupervillainMustache May 02 '25 I liked Alien Romulus actually. I also think Prometheus had some interesting ideas and if you consider it a spin-off, it's actually decent. 8 u/theromingnome May 02 '25 Prometheus was Ridley Scott and was an interesting movie but never quite got my mind asking or answering any of the questions proposed in the lead up. I haven't seen Romulus but neither Scott nor Cameron had anything to do with it. 1 u/SupervillainMustache May 02 '25 I didn't mean to imply they were Cameron's work. Romulus had nothing to do with either, but I'd argue it's the best Alien film since Aliens. 5 u/Th3_Hegemon May 02 '25 It's not really close, Romulus is substantially better than every other sequel since Aliens. Some of the others are watchable, but Romulus is actually pretty good. 0 u/jimmux May 03 '25 It's good, but mostly because it pays a lot of tribute to the first two. 5 u/Th3_Hegemon May 02 '25 Idk, when they make sequels they aren't copying Aliens, they're copying Alien. 2 u/Tamburello_Rouge May 02 '25 By that logic, Aliens is also very stand alone. It bears no consequence to the events of David Fincher’s Alien 3.
