erm, ok but not really worth it

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 2001)

I thought the film was alright after I first saw it, but after just watching Alien again, there isnt really any comparison. The film looks cartoonish compared to the grittiness of the first two films. The Alien creatures are probably more suited to CG effects and there were a few nice action scenes, but it was full of cliches with more typical grimy spaceships and Aliens escaping their confinements to wreak havoc on a ship (When will those darn scientists ever learn). I havent seen Alien 3 but I dont think there is really any need for any more installments, the first 2 films work well on their own
