Fans think Alien: Covenant is more re-watchable than Alien: Romulus and even Aliens!

According to our own public survey, based on votes tallied, fans think Alien: Covenant is more re-watchable than Alien: Romulus! But none are more re-watchable than Ridley Scott’s original.

Fans think Alien: Covenant is more re-watchable than Alien: Romulus and even Aliens!

For more than a month we've had a public survey here on the site asking fans and visitors alike which Alien movie they thought was the most re-watchable of the series. After a month of voting, here are the results...

Unsurprisingly Ridley Scott’s original Alien from 1979 was voted most re-watchable with 26% of total votes but to our surprise the second most re-watchable Alien movie on the list wasn't James Cameron's sequel Aliens, or even Fede Alvarez's recent Alien: Romulus... it was Scott's Alien: Covenant! While some might contest that the results are biased due to the survey being hosted on a website themed around Alien: Covenant, voting is open to visitors to the site, not just registered members.

Most re-watchable Alien movies ranked

  1. Alien
  2. Alien: Covenant
  3. Aliens
  4. Alien: Romulus / Prometheus (tied)
  5. Alien 3
  6. Alien: Resurrection

Now, these results are accurate up to March 29th, 2026 and sentiment may shift as the survey gains more votes and popularity – but as it stands, Ridley Scott’s entries dominate the results.

What do you think of these results? Which Alien movie have YOU watched the most? Let us know in the comments below!

I was genuinely surprised to see Covenant ranked so highly on this survey. I feel like people have come around finally and want to see more of the prequel timeline explored.

I find Romulus to be the most re-watchable.

I would rank Alien Covenant very low on that list

That's indeed a surprising result. Covenant at #2? Interesting. Each to their own, I'm just curious. Aside from stunning visual effects (particularly Lander 1's descent) and cinematography, I thought that the action scenes were too swift and half-heartedly done and the mid-act with David's philosophizing really slows the film down and shifts focus in a negative way, but that's just me. Alien Romulus is way more re-watchable despite feeling like the most lavish fan-film wrapped in Hollywood production I've ever seen.

I'd put Romulus in 2nd or 3rd place. Convenant is probably my least favorite of the whole series and very hard to rewatch.

Since sharing this poll across our social channels - a number of new votes have flooded in and at one point, ALIENS did overtake Covenant for the 2nd most re-watchable spot - but as time continues to go by, Covenant is receiving even MORE votes - maintaining its 2nd place position.

Speaking of rewatch, I am surprised I haven't rewatched ALIEN EARTH at all. I don't hate the show but I just don't have the urge to rewatch it again. I instead rewatched ROMULUS a few times and quite enjoy it.

Same here Jonesy, I haven't rewatched Alien Earth once yet, but I did put on Covenant and Romulus the other day. Trying to forget AE exists tbh 😂

That’s an interesting result. Shocked to see Romulus not as high up there though. But I agree. Please finish the prequel movies Ridley. Haha

Nope! Alien Romulus is more re-watchable.
