If it only wasn't for Alien 3

Rating: 4/10 (20 July 2008)

This movie was certainly much better then the disaster of Alien 3 and would have done much better if that movie had never been made. Unfortunately that's not the case and somehow Ripley needed to be brought back from the dead. That's the weakest part in this movie. The connection to Earth is something that Id hoped for seeing that the first Alien movie noted that the cruiser was on a course back to Earth. That tidy up those lose ends. Much the same to Aliens in terms of the plot but not the best support acting. Winona Ryder was not a good choice, hated every bit of her acting. Not suited to this style at all. Weaver once again great but clearly a change from the first film, a lot less heart, tougher and stronger but I put the blame down to having to bring her back from the dead. Its a bit of a hit and miss. If you're a fan of the Alien films you may or may not like this but what ever you do, skip right past the third one.
