Better than 3!

Rating: 6/10 (14 January 2003)

After seeing and being disgusted with the 3rd installment I wasn't about to spend money to see this latest slaughtering of a classic. So instead I watched it on HBO. The story line had several well placed plots that kept the story moving at a surprisingly steady pace. Of course like everyone else I was not happy with the ending and the whole"baby alien" thing was a joke. The creature design was poor and unsophisticated for the series. That being the only major flaw of the movie this piece got more respect from me than the third piece did. After several years I find myself watching all four installments all over again and yes, Aliens3 has gotten better with age. As will resurrection. It leaves the series open for another installment, even though it should have ended with 3. The 5th piece would more than likely be an alien invasion of earth, but first Wynonna needs to get out of jail before filming could start and her trailer would have to be routinely checked to make sure none of the props or costumes were taken. This movie needs a little more time before it gets the respect it deserves, no matter how little that respect may be. 3 took awhile, Resurrection just seems to be taking longer...
