Gives the word "Sleeper" a new meaning

Rating: 2/10 (13 January 1999)

BORING! Nothing interesting ever happened in this film, unlike the first two. First movie: Bad alien comes out of nowhere and blows everybody up. Second movie: Nobody believes in the bad alien until in comes out of nowhere and blows everybody up. Third movie: Nobody believes in Ripley, who kills herself to make sure it doesn't happen again (should have ended there). Fourth movie: Everybody believes everything and everybody dies because... why? Because they were stupid, just like the movie. The whole point of the series is to keep advancing the aliens while the humans try and fight ever growing bigger and better bad aliens. This movie, they weakened the alien by making it a hybrid, and giving it the instinct for self-sacrifice, things that should never be given to an alien that is described as utterly merciless and virtually indestructible. Overall -- see the first two, skip the last two, it isn't even worth sleeping through.
