Today is Alien Day, the day fans celebrate the loved horror franchise that started with Ridley Scott’s classic, Alien, again in 1979. Why April twenty sixth you ask? Well, it’s a reference from Aliens, because it’s a conversion of LV-426, the designation of the moon Acheron, into the date “4/26.”

Of direction, the first two Alien movies are masterpieces and refreshingly distinct from one every other. By the time we got to Alien 3, despite the fact that, the franchise used to be starting to decelerate. While it’s an interesting re-watch simply because it was once David Fincher’s debut characteristic, the film simply doesn’t dangle a candle to the first two. Not to say the hole scene, which totally tears down the whole lot about James Cameron’s Aliens.

And the less said about Alien: Resurrection the better. There’s clones, Ron Perlman and a strange basketball scene. Scott tried to reboot the franchise with Prometheus again in 2012, after all, but regardless of being visually surprising, the movie has a host of problems. Still, he endured the tale with 2017’s Alien: Covenant, which underperformed, leaving the franchise in limbo at the moment.

Now that Disney owns twentieth Century Studios, it’s laborious to mention after we’ll see the Xenomorphs once more. The Mouse House plans to reboot the franchise, however that may be several years down the road. In the intervening time, although, fans are celebrating Alien Day on social media with more than a few tributes. You’ve were given memes, fan art and reposts of director Neill Blomkamp’s idea artwork from a possible Alien 5 that never got here to fruition.
