1.5 out of 5 stars:Does show some pleasing moments but overall its another sci-fi gorefest.

Rating: 4/10 (9 August 2000)

Starring:Sigourney Weaver(Galaxy Quest),Wynona Ryder(Girl,Interrupted)
Genres:Sci-fi,Horror
Rated R:For Graphic Violence,some language,mild sensuality
Summary:Basically its your basic "don't mess with dangerous monstrous forces" kind of film. Ripley gets resurrected as a clone. And she ends up fighting them aliens again!
(SPOILERS AHEAD ALERT)
And it is also one of those "Just about everyone" dies sort of films. This kind of films are not always bad I thought "Deep Blue Sea" was a good film and only 2 of the main characters came out alive. But still this is rather bad anyways.
(SPOILERS END)
The Good:The wisecracks are funny and there are some cool & suspenseful moments in here. The performances & SFX are decent but nothing for helping this film.
The bad:Gore,gore & more gore. If that sounds good for you be my guest. Although this is the first Alien movie I have seen I hope the others are better. So I guess I can recommend this film to alien fans & certain others. Overall this film tries to be good but it isn't all that successful. I agree with Roger Ebert & his rating (which is a 1.5 out of 4 which is what I would've done if I went by that system). Heck the last alien killing makes me almost wonder if I am being too nice on this film. At least this is not as bad as the first Halloween film that I have seen which is the 6th one. (Don't worry folks at least I am still open-minded about the others).
So overall if you think "Batman & Robin" is the worst of 1997. Take a look at this little messy mess.
