Bad, bad, bad.

Rating: 5/10 (30 December 2007)

This movie shouldn't have been made. It lacks all the outright fear of the first three. Sigourney Weaver did a decent job, but the movie itself was just too corny to be a valid representation of the Alien Series. Honestly, if you are a true fan of the series, I would advise skipping this one.
To be honest, the book that either this movie is based on or is based on the movie (I am not sure which) had a much cooler storyline. I mean Ripley gets into a bare hands fight with an alien and wins. That would have been an awesome element to add to the movie.
Winona Ryder is moderately good at acting, but she doesn't really stand out in any good way.
And the storyline is very hard to believe, although they did take blood from Ripley in 3, so I guess the alien could be cloned, but I don't recall the Alien embryo altering the host's blood chemistry and DNA in any of the other movies, so all they should have is Ripley's blood.
Anyway, it works, and the film does give you a little bang for your buck. If possible avoid, but any alien fan needs to see this movie once, so they can appreciate the others even more.
