So, I am planning to rewatch the all the Alien films ready for Covenant. Question is do I watch Prometheus first or last. What would you all do?

Don't really matter mate, I'd watch it first but that's just me.

Where available, are you going to go for special editions or the original theatrical editions?

We recently got the set at home and it looks like it includes both versions. I'd go for the theatrical cuts of both Alien and Aliens, and switch over to the Assembly Cut for Alien3.

I asked which versions to watch here, which may help too. I ended up watching Alien (theatrical), Aliens (Special Edition), Alien 3 (Assembly Cut) and Resurrection (theatrical). Then Prometheus. Cheers Tony |

I'd say do them in release order. Prometheus isn't really the best introduction to that universe. It seems to assume that its viewers have seen Alien.

Alien.
Aliens.
And that's it.
The rest take away your time, but give you nothing in return.

Alien. Aliens. And that's it. The rest take away your time, but give you nothing in return. I could live without Resurrection and Prometheus but quite enjoyed Alien 3 (*ducks for cover* )  Cheers Tony |

I really like Alien 3, Resurrection was enjoyable enough.

I actually quite like all the Alien movies even the A-V-P ones, I am not saying they are all good, just enjoyable.
personally I would watch them in release order in standard version (but do watch the Special Edition/Directors Cut or what ever they call it now, of Aliens)
Prometheus is the oddest of the bunch, some very strange creative decisions and the pacing is all over the place, also don't watch it trying to place it in the relation to Alien......it just annoys the hell out of you.

If you are going to watch them in an order, I'd go for:
Alien - Theatrical Cut
Aliens - Special Edition
Alien 3 - Assembly Cut
Alien Resurrection - Theatrical cut
then circle round to
Prometheus
which'll lead into
Alien Covenant for you

I remembering feeling so "alienated" by A3 that I never bothered to seek out that alternate version.
