Phoned in cash grab not worth watching

Rating: 1/10 (24 April 2020)

I would have liked to see a much simpler plot about General Perez overseeing a clandestine scientific research operation that was buying cryo-tubes from pirates to use as hosts in an attempt to create alien/human hybrids. Something new could have even been done with the hybrids, since there were already three movies featuring xenomorphs. That would have required some imagination, however, and none was to be found in this disaster. What we got was a plot hopelessly gummed up with dumb and unnecessary scenes and characters.
The acting was almost categorically bad. Sigourney Weaver walks around like a zombie the entire movie, and really isn't even playing the character Ripley. Her character was an unnecessary distraction, and should have been left out. Winona Ryder was awful, and her character was clearly "written in" for the sole purpose of featuring her in the movie. Gary Dourdand, also terrible. Granted, the dialog they had to work with is among the worst I've seen in any movie, and I've seen some bad ones. There were a few decent scenes early on with Dan Hedaya, Ron Perlman, and Michael Wincott, but the is was clearly a Kobayashi Maru.
I'd recommend that people avoid this stinker, and I'm not sure how on earth it even has a 6 star rating. This is MST3K material.
