Alien: Earth IMDb Score Is Out — Here’s How It Compares To Every Alien Movie

With a stellar 96% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, the first two episodes of the eight-part sci-fi horror series Alien: Earth are now streaming on FX and FX on Hulu in the U.S., and on Jio Hotstar in India. But how does it stack up against the Alien film franchise — from Ridley Scott’s iconic 1979 classic and James Cameron’s acclaimed sequel, to the crossovers, prequels, and recent entries like Alien: Romulus, in terms of IMDb user ratings? Let’s take a look.

Alien: Earth vs. Alien Film Series – IMDb Ratings Compared

As of now, Alien: Earth has a strong user rating of 7.9/10 on IMDb. In comparison, here is how cinephiles have rated other films in the Alien franchise (as per IMDb):

• Alien (1979) – 8.5/10
• Aliens (1986) – 8.4/10
• Alien 3 (1992) – 6.4/10

According to current IMDb ratings, Ridley Scott’s 1979 masterpiece Alien remains the franchise leader with an 8.5/10, closely followed by James Cameron’s Aliens at 8.4/10. With its 7.9/10 score, Alien: Earth currently ranks third-best in the saga. While its score may fluctuate as more users share their opinions until the series concludes on September 23, 2025, a significant change seems unlikely.
