Hulu/CNET

Hulu starts at $8 per month to stream with ads, while Hulu without ads costs $18 a month. If you prefer a cable-like experience, you can go with Hulu with Live TV for a $77 monthly charge. This option comes with more than 90 channels, Disney Plus, on-demand Hulu content and ESPN Plus (with ads). 

You can also opt for one of the Disney Bundles: Hulu and Disney Plus with ads for $10 a month; Hulu and Disney Plus without ads for $20 a month; Hulu, Disney Plus and ESPN Plus with ads for $15 a month; Hulu and Disney Plus without ads and ESPN Plus with ads for $25 a month; and the Hulu, Disney Plus and Max megabundle -- the ad-based version is $17 per month, while the ad-free one is $30 a month.

Max has one Alien movie available for streaming: James Cameron's action-packed sequel, Aliens. 

Subscriptions cost $10 per month (with ads) or $17 per month (ad-free). To watch in 4K, you can also sign up for the Ultimate plan for $21 per month. The Hulu, Disney Plus and Max megabundle may also be of interest. The ad-based bundle comes with a $17 monthly price tag, while the ad-free version is $30 a month.

Where to watch all the Alien movies in the UK

Hulu isn't available for audiences in the UK. Instead, viewers can find every single Alien movie on Disney Plus.

Disney Plus subscriptions in the UK are broken down into three plans. The Standard with Ads plan costs £5 a month. The Standard plan costs £8 a month (or £80 a year) and the Premium plan costs £11 a month (or £110 a year).
