Ugliness personified

Rating: 2/10 (10 May 2008)

I am not much of a sci-fi fan, and this film shows the reason. You get the ugly-as-hell sets - the space-ship can't look too pretty, after all - and the protagonist Sigourney Weaver (who makes a strip tease in the end in hideously ugly T-shirt and equally ugly panties) is dull like all the characters - we don't really know anything about her, except that she outsmarts the monster in the end. The monster is ugly and dull, disgustingly drooling creature which kills humans. Some ugly gore, too. Atmosphere is non-existent. The cute cat is saved, though, and the equally bad - sometimes even worse - sequels were made. Now I probably should go to entertain myself with watching the paint drying...
