You won't be disappointed!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Wow. I thought "Alien 3" was bad. I guess I was wrong."Alien Resurrection" is one of the worst sequels I've ever seen. This movie was so boring I struggled to stay awake. It was pointless for Signorney Weaver to come back since her character was deceased in the last movie, and her getting cloned in this was ridiculous to begin with. There was no build up or good structure on the story. It felt like it was lazily made. Lastly, the Alien felt wasted and was just there.A really unnecessary sequel that could've and should've been scraped.in thrown in the trash can.

And there you were leaving the Pictures after being short-changed by Fincher's Alien 3. Well, good news...it gets much better - for the short-changer that is. I mean the Alien Resurrection manages to out bad Alien 3 in badness. How on earth does it manage such a feat you might rightly wonder: well, a plot is a definite no-show; a story? admittedly, it's a rehash of previous bits that'll pass muster (again) for those aficionados...And to make it a fait accompli certainty - get a French director, who'l, bet you franc to a centime, inject equal measures of: French philosophising, romance (well, foreplay, and dance...(note to french directors: can u please make a decent picture sans philosophy? Yes I'm talking to you, Mr besson, Mr goddard et al - leave it at the Sorbonne).The plot and action of the actors in scenes is beyond comic - it really is Alien in Pantoland. All that was missing from the Alien piece de resistance was a: 'Ripley, it's behind you!'Or (C'est derriere toi!) n'est-Ce pas, jean-Pierre?

Alien ResurrectionThe hardest part of mixing human and alien DNA is picking the right mood music.Regrettably, the scientists in sci-fi thriller don't divulge which slow-jams were successful.When a ship of mercenaries (Winona Ryder, Ron Perlman, Dominique Pinon) docks at a military vessel to drop off stasis bodies for scientific experiments, they recognize a familiar face. Despite being dead for 200 years, military heroine Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) appears alive, well and enhanced with alien attributes, including acidic blood.The mercs eventually discover that there are other genetically engineered aliens aboard and that the infested ship is headed straight for Earth.Thanks to French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, this third sequel in the Alien franchise manages to stand on its own merits, despite sharing similarities with its predecessors. With strong female leads and creative visuals this unsung sequel deserves revisiting. However, the real horror show doesn't start until the human/alien in-laws meet.Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca
