The cheese

Rating: 5/10 (28 June 2010)

This is a sad sack compared to the other movies, even alien 3. It feels like a low budget b sci movie. The story is dumb and the writing is pretty bad, everything feels hackneyed, cheap, and unrealistic. Ripley is just laughable as a clone which picked up a bit of alien dna upon her resurrection, giving her a silly nasty attitude, which comes off as just plain stupid - and she's given lots of dumb one liners to match her cheesy sneer. It's really a bloody embarrassment, all in all, yet the action is interesting enough to keep you til the end, barely. I won't ever watch it twice for sure. I guess someone just wanted to make another buck off the series, I can't figure why, with all the talented people in the industry, they came up with this crap.
