A great close out to the Alien Series (at least for now)

Rating: 9/10 (10 August 2004)

Alien Resurrection has problems, I will agree with that. I do not agree when people say that this is an action film though. The film spends over thirty minutes setting up the story and the acting throughout is very well done. To me the Alien movies (not even the first one) scared me. They were more about making the heart race a little bit, giving a tease of the creatures. I loved the ironies in this film as well. The computer is named "Father" the aliens using the machine to freeze a human! The aliens are in this film for certain and it most definitely has an action feel to it but again I harken back to Aleins. Aliens was a pure action movie. We saw the aliens in it more than we did in any other film I still believe. Aliens was not scary, it did not make you freak out like the first one did. Aliens and Alien Resurrection share this in common, they are both very high powered action movies with deep integrated plot lines. The movie is not perfect, but what film is. I think most people are too over critical. ..its a movie.. .about aliens with acid for blood.
