Not the ideal combination

Rating: 6/10 (28 December 2008)

I love the Alien series.
I love Jeunet films.
The choice of actors and some of the scenery etc. is very clearly Jeunet. Weaver is great (as always) but this is not an ideal combination though.
The plot with recreating Ripley from a stain of blood and then just accept that she has some remnant memory of things from her previous version turns my enthusiasm off.
It is not a bad movie, but it doesn't measure with the first 3 films. I was thinking: Alien meets "The Fly 2". A little silly...
If you want to see some Jeunet films, take a look at Delicatessen and City of Lost Children. If you want to see the best Alien films, take a look at the first 3 films.
