Depends on you

Rating: 6/10 (10 July 2006)

If you are an Alien fan and view the same as a horror concept, there is simply no way you are going to like this movie. While there's tons of gore and the non-Computer gen Aliens look realistic enough to raise an eyebrow, the acting, screenplay, cinematography and writing does not accommodate them as a horror or suspense theme. If you aren't really a fan and just want some entertainment, then this movie can be recommended. Its strange that they went for a weirdass and improbable story like this when they had tons of ideas for Alien 3 which they never even implemented? The movie can possibly be much more entertaining than Alien 3 which tries to be a horror but fails a lot at it because they ended up implementing the worst ideas. Even so, Alien 3 has slightly higher production values and suspense. But Alien 4 is just plain old fun to view. Both Alien 3 and Alien 4 cannot be put in the league of the first two parts. My guess is that the next Alien movie if ever made, would be a remake of sorts, going to back to the derelict ship, being explored by a humanoid race other than humans.
