Really though, Jean-Pierre Jeunet is one of the most bizarre and brilliant visionary directors ever. I have no idea why, after making multiple foreign language cult-magic masterpieces, he decided to try to break into the US mainstream with a freaking franchise sick-go movie... but his vision is still there in Alien Resurrection, and you can see it in the design overall sheen of the film.
This is how I'd rank them:
1. Alien
2. Prometheus
3. Alien Resurrection
4. Aliens
5. Alien 3
Not counting unofficial Italian sequels or crossover cash grab fuckarounds. Fuck ghy stupid shit. Alien v. Predator is to blame for Superman v. Batman being even a speck in a young, probably stoned Zack Snyder's heavy-lidded eye.
Star Wars v. Star Trek next? No. fuck that noise.
