not that bad

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2002)

Well for those who like the alien sage you are given, regardless to what anyone says, a new look on the franchise. Alien was dark and lovely, a slasher film in space; A+. Aliens was an action movie with blinding gun blasts and flying body parts; B-. Alien 3.....well let's just say D. So whats next? most say a F. BUT THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WANT "THE GODFATHER" IN SPACE! Alien resurrection is a Fun sci-fi film. it's not a pop-out-of-no-where man in rubber suit like the first 3 films it uses cgi to make visualy pleasing aliens that don't use surprise value as they usually do. The film is not suspensful, but it is entertaining. The characters are mixed. Minus some bad lines here and there weaver and rider do just fine. In the only "good guys" that live are the one you want to. It rids off the horribly stupid ones. Brad Dourif puts in a wonderfully good performance as one of the top scientists. Overall the movies not an oscar winner, but it's not the worst of the films, in fact behind the original this is my second favorite, regardless of what some people want from an aliens movie.
