Worst Movie Ever

Rating: 1/10 (29 August 2000)

I just finished watching the special edition Aliens on DVD and I love that movie now even more than before. James Cameron worked a brilliant sequel off of Ridley Scott's masterpiece. Both of these Alien films were just that, FILMS. The parallels and symbolism that they draw to feminism, childbirth, man vs nature, and even the Vietnam war are poignant and powerful. Alien 3 wasn't as good as the first two, but it was still a good sequel directed by the amazing David Fincher. I was really looking foward to Alien Ressurection when it came out, and never have I wanted 2 hours back so much in my life. This couln't have been any worse. From the cliched dialogue, to the gratuitous action scenes, Ressurection was 109 minutes of the worst piece of sci-fi period.
There is nothing new or creative about this movie. It covers the same allusions to the pain of birth, except this time we have to hear cheesy one liners to "lighten the mood". If I want to leave a theater feeling light hearted I'll go see Babe Has Fun Somewhere. I watch Aliens to see a dark film about man trying to harness nature and failing miserably.
