I saw this on IMDb and liked the comparison:
==========
Alien - Star Trek; The original, the best. Groundbreaking. Good bickering between cast. Aliens - The Next Generation: The most commercial, and also the most cutesy. There's a kid, a friendly android... and plenty of action.
Alien3 - Deep Space Nine; The dark one where nobody got on. Introduced new elements and moved away from the formulaic. Unnapreciated by the small-minded.
A:R - Voyager; A misfire. Some good ideas, but tried too hard to cherrypick the best bits of its predecessors.
AVP - Enterprise; A supposed prequel that contradicts what went before. Ultimately crap.
==============
What would you compare the 5 movies to?

I rather like these comparisons, although I don't agree with what is said about: Aliens: Resurrection vs Voyager. Voyager is great, A:R is not.
And I didn't know that AVP was a prequal? And if it wasn't, why compare it to a prequal?

Technically, AVP is a prequel to Alien, but a sequel to Predator, since it takes place in 2004. I don't consider it canon to the Alien movies, but others seem to. While I find the comparisons above enjoyable, I do not agree with his views on Star Trek. I thought Voyager was a great series, and really enjoyed Enterprise. Enterprise tried hard to stick to previous canon, but I guess that's a discussion for another thread.
