Surprisingly poor, even for an unecessary sequal

Rating: Null/10 (11 September 1998)

Alien was heart-stopping, Aliens: breath-taking, Alien 3: a brave failure. Alien 4 is a mess, a mess with great CGI visuals but still a mess. Ripley comes back from the dead (Weaver again the best thing in the film) and starts acting strangely. The aliens themselves disappear half way through! Poor script, dodgy acting, disappointing action.
