With the popularity of the Alien franchise growing after a successful sequel, teams decided to try and push for more sequels. Unfortunately they were not as successful and received plenty of criticism and caused a downfall for the Alien Franchise.
This table includes more spoilers than the other pages.

Alien 3 (1992)	Alien Resurrection (1997)
Starring Sigourney Weaver Directed by David Fincher	Starring Sigourney Weaver Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Ripley is ejected onto Fury 161 following the events of Aliens. Fury 161 is a colony riddled with prisoners with genetic predispositions to be highly aggressive and antisocial. With the ejected pods from space came facehuggers that were introduced to the colony and eventually ravaging them. Unfortunately Ripley was carrying a Queen Alien embryo inside of her, which the company, Weyland Yutani, wanted to preserve to produce biological weapons. Ripley kills herself to avoid this.	Centuries after the death of Ripley, scientists were able to clone her using DNA acquired from the incidents in Alien 3. This clone, however, molded her DNA with that of the Queen Alien giving the Ripley clone strength and abilities of the xenomorph. The scientists already acquired alien embryos from the clone and eventually used prisoners to house the adult aliens. The aliens made wreak havoc and the rampage of xenomorphs continue in this film.
The third film was criticized for the way it was started and how it was ended. The film did not please fans by furthering the xenomorph lore. However, it started the use of computer-generated imagery. At this time, CGI was still young and its potential was just being explored.	The fourth film sought to correct what people did not enjoy in Alien 3, but failed to do so by creating a story that did not interest most viewers while also introducing different routes of the xenomorph lore. This includes the birth of an alien human hybrid that raised many eyebrows as well as the questionable dynamic between the Ripley clone and the xenomorphs.
