Alien Resurrection Details

Forget It's An Alien Sequel

Easily the worst film in the series however even though it sounds contradictory, it's actually worth a watch as a sci-fi film in it's own right. It's just a shame it's tarnishing the reputation of the first two by being associated with them. The effects are decent as is the ever-excellent Sigourney Weaver, but this film has a couple of comedy moments which in my opinion is pure blasphemy for a film part of the classic Alien franchise.

Sleep when you die, man

I was reliably informed that this was by far the runt of the litter but I have to disagree slightly. While it probably was the weakest of the alien quadrilogy, it wasn't as bad as I was lead to believe. I only really have two problems with AR. 1. Cloning Ripley………tacky or what, and 2. The ending, where was it. Sorely disappointed at the lack of conclusion, did they have a power cut or something, or maybe the director phoned in sick one day and they couldn't be bothered to finish it. If this actually had an ending I definitely would have given it four stars and placed it above A3. As usual the effects are stunning and we see the alien learning and adapting to its environment much more in this offering. Good performances all round, Michael Wincott makes a fabulous badass as he did in The Crow. I was really enjoying this up til the supposed finale. But don't let this put you off, apart from this AR is yet another work of extra-terrestrial art.
