ALIEN RESURRECTION = decent

Rating: 6/10 (1 August 2009)

I actually think this film is pretty decent. It's not as bad as the haters say, but don't get me wrong - it is certainly not a masterpiece, and certainly not as good as the two first ones. As Howars Hawks said: "a film consists of three good scenes and no bad ones". I believe there are three good scenes in this movie; the underwater scene, the scene where Ripley discovers the other 7 clones and the scene where the unborn is sucked into space (I love Ripley's face when her "son" is tortured to death)- but sadly there is also some very bad scenes. I like the characters from the "Betty" even though they are a little stereotypical action types, and I also like some of Jeunet's directing, especially with the visuals. One thing he does very wrong though is that he starts the action right away and he goes with cheap jump-scares. He should have built the tension like Scott did in "ALIEN" and then showed us some good action like Cameron in "ALIENS". I'm not even gonna mention ALIEN3. But in my opinion the fourth installment is a decent film, and worth watching.
