Alien: Earth now ranks higher than both Alien and Aliens on Rotten Tomatoes!
By ChrisAlien: Earth NewsLeave a CommentPublished: August 21, 2025

Alien: Earth is currently the number 1 series streaming right now. After unleashing only 3 of the 8 total episodes in season 1, the series has garnered a tremendous amount of attention. While fan reception to Alien: Earth remains mixed after its debut, the show has gained so much praise online, it has actually managed to top Ridley Scott's 1979 Alien and James Cameron's iconic sequel, Aliens on Rotten Tomatoes website! As it currently stands, Alien: Earth is technically the highest rated entry in the Alien franchise, according to RT:

  1. Alien: Earth (95%)
  2. Aliens (94%)
  3. Alien (93%)

Do you think Alien: Earth deserves this position? Is the reception and praise valid? Let us know what you think and how you think it stacks up to the original movies, by commenting below!

I haven't watched it so I don't know, it seems a bit high when I think of it. I'm not sure what could top the original three, I guess that we'll have to wait and see how peoples perception change over time.

Yeah, I’m a little shocked it surpassed the original 2 of all films, but as others have pointed out it could simply be that the original 2 haven’t received as many votes or ratings on Rotten Tomatoes platform. I’m really not sure as I’ve never used their site to review anything, not sure how it works.

Makes me wanna revamp our movie and review section though, to allow for hard core fans to give their honest reviews, no paid endorsements 😉

After watching 3rd episode I really happy with the show so far. It even exceeds my expectation as it brings all the creatures in a brand new level. All the main characters kick ass and Kirsh and Kavalier are particularly amazing in it (Kirsh gives me David vibe).  I also love the Peter Pan hybrids idea, so refreshing and creative (and considering it has some dark theories regarding the subject matter).

I did enjoy the ending of Episode 3 a lot more than I enjoyed its beginning lol The show is growing on me in some ways, I enjoy the Kirsh character arc so far the most and I hope to see more of his curiosities explored, but frankly I have yet to care at all about the Lost Boys and the Hybrid angle. I’m struggling to get into it due to their child-brains 😂

Overall the third episode was an improvement though, for sure. Eager to watch Ep. 4 next week!
