Disappointing to say the least

Rating: 1/10 (7 April 2019)

I vaguely remember when this movie came out in theatres and I had already heard
the general consensus was that i was lousy. It was probably 10 years later before I actually watched it on DVD and I probably watched it 3 or 4 more times over the years. I tired to find some redeeming qualities but cannot. It kind of defeats the whole purpose of Aliens ending , you have Newt ,Hicks , Bishop and Ripley all surviving and then you kill all of them off except Ripley. I cannot imagine that this was the original idea yet i see that Weaver co-produced. I've read some other articles that the plot was rewritten several times from having an adventure with the surviving characters from Aliens to killing all except Ripley.
The dark depressing theme with ugly characters and a lot of plot holes just adds to the lousiness. Gritty is one think but it's more of a cop out. If you ask me when and if they finally tie the prequels to the current alien universe they should retcon Alien 3 and Resurrection which were both total garbage. Weaver should not be allowed to have creative control either. It shouldnt become a one woman show , Weaver is a good actress but its time to pass that torch.
