The best sequel ever!

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 1999)

I have always loved the Alien series and Alien Resurrection couldn't have been better! AR would've s*cked without Ripley and I am grateful that the producers brought her back. Nonetheless, there's a major difference between this installment compared to its predecessor (Alien 1, 2 & 3); the characters have more powerful weapons to kick those aliens' ass! I loved Ron Perlman's character, at first he acted like a total jerk (on the Betty) but later he turned out to be a good guy! However, I felt sorry for both the queen and her newborn, as they were both killed. (The newborn killed the queen and then Ripley killed the newborn). I even find it laughable in the scene where the aliens have escaped and one of them sneaked into the escape pod and killed all the soldiers. As for the ending, I didn't like it a bit!! WHY did the alien have to be sucked out of the spaceship?? And HOW did it get aboard? Like in Alien and Aliens, no explanation is offered as how did they managed to sneak in and then in all of a sudden, they showed up from nowhere and jumped on their preys! I certainly hope this sequel is the conclusion to the Alien series and please, NO Alien 5, let Ripley retire for God's sake!!
