Should have been called ALIEN 3rd RATE!

Rating: Null/10 (27 January 2005)

The funny thing about this movie and I don't mean funny haha, but that the acting is good, the sets are okay, but what really reeked in this movie was the plot.
I MEAN IT REALLY SUCKED! This is science fiction. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING. Yet they had to revert to the same old plot used in the first movie which was one of the best science fiction/horror movies ever made if not THE BEST horror movie ever made. Trapped with no weapons. Oh geeez give me a break.
As I said as well, you can do anything. Meet the original race. Go to another ship. Make the story a few years later. AND this piece of dreck makes watching the second Aliens, which I consider the best sequel, with a plot arc that makes sense, ever made, sort of worthless because you now know no one gets out alive.
One of the endearing qualities to ALIENS was Ripley saving Newt and then forming a mother daughter bond wherein Ripley says she won't let anything happen to her.
AND on top of that...GIVE ME A BREAK! HOW DID THE ALIEN plant eggs?
The alien plants embryos in the sleeping people?
How lame is that?
Where did they come from?
The Queen alien was dead, did an alien managed to jump on the shuttle, plants eggs it was carrying and then die? OR WTF? Made no sense. None at all.
So yeah the photography is good, the acting is good, the storyline was unbelievable (and we are talking science fiction here) and it basicaly comes across as a mess with no real direction and definitely no plot arcs that make you suspend your disbelief.
I gave it a 1 and was trying to figure out how to give it a MINUS 10.
