Unintentional Humor³

Rating: 1/10 (10 March 2009)

Do NOT avoid this movie. Watch it because it's so unbelievably bad it's absolutely hilarious! It might very well be the worst sequel I have ever seen but it was so bad that my friends and I were able to laugh at almost every single moment of this film. At times we actually debated whether it was this bad on purpose but we're pretty sure it's not. First of all, an alien egg appears out of nowhere as if it was the most natural thing in the world, then there's a fire and all the main characters from the previous movie except Ripley are conveniently killed. Enter Clemens, a doctor on a remote prison planet with a sad history and a future to match. He finds Ripley on the beach. They perform an autopsy on the crash victims, attend the funeral and have sex. Next, another alien appears and slaughters the prisoners (and the doctor, ouch!) one by one all over the prison, an industrial/Gothic scenery that was utterly ripped off from the first movie. So was the plot, apparently, only the astronauts from Alien are replaced by filthy British prisoners who are absolutely impossible to distinguish, much less like much. The amount of profanity in this movie is hilarious! You will also enjoy the hammy acting performances. In one particular scene, the prison warden is killed right in front of the prisoners, one looks up sheepishly and exclaims: *beep* And just when you thought the acting couldn't get any worse, the gang leader motivates the other prisoners to fight the alien in another hilariously overacted scene. The creature effects were so awful it made us laugh while we replayed through the worst scenes. The movie is supposed to end on a down note but it doesn't work because it's too corny to be taken seriously. If you've seen the first two, you'll probably expect a good movie, but prepare for the worst... and it will be even worse than that. I seriously want to buy this movie and place it atop my comedy movie selection. Right next to Flight Cub.
