A misjudged movie!

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2005)

I felt this movie was wholly underrated. Its whole premise was an entirely original idea, set apart from the other movies in the series. It developed Sigourney's character, the main man "Ripley", superbly! In was done in such a way as to make the whole concept of resurrection (which if we're honest is a bit barmy) quite plausible. And indeed successfully illustrated,much due to the talent of saucy Weaver, how a person,even one who has been around the block as many times as the lovable lieutenant, would deal with such a traumatic and downright baffling experience. The anger,confusion,frustrating,and so and so forth. Not only this but the introduction of several original and exciting ideas were sprinkled throughout the entire movie,the new born,the resurrection itself, etc etc. And still despite all this it managed to provide a hilarious, laugh so much 'till a little bit of wee comes out,script. Topped with just the right amount of action, plenty of guns, big slobbery aliens and the like. And all this set behind a visually stunning set, eerie, strange yet oh so alluring. What more does one want from an alien movie, it was the fourth in a lenghty series, I have nothing but awe and gratitude. Hoorah! Long may Ripley and her aliens amigos reign!
