Not that bad

Rating: 6/10 (13 March 2005)

Actually I liked it. I don't know why Andersons Movies are all getting bashed by critics. They are entertaining, they do their job and so did AvP. I never liked Predator that much, but Alien I love since the series started. In this case its not a piece of art (Alien 3) or a comic fantasy (Alien 4) and neither the creepy Thriller (Alien 1) or the Republican Heroic Action Feast (Alien 2). It was just a fun to watch, if you did not mind all the little unlogical elements (Aliens breeding and growing in an incredibly short time for example).
The acting was, well, okay and the FX were great. You never saw the Aliens that close and detailed. So, me as a Fan, I got what I wanted and expected. A little more thrill woulds been not bad, but hey, it entertained me from beginning to end. And Anderson: give this guy a chance: "Resident Evil" and "Event Horizon" are movies one likes to watch over and over again. If you want food for your brain, you don't rent them anyway ;)....
