an average fourth installment

Rating: 7/10 (29 June 2006)

*Note : This review contains a spoiler to ALIEN ³*
In the fourth ALIEN movie, Ripley (Weaver) comes back due to the "miracle" of cloning in sole purpose to extract the queen she was impregnated with in the previous film. Then everything goes, yet again, horribly wrong.
This movie is argued about either being better or worse than ALIEN ³. I gave it the same rating as ALIEN ³. This movie was directed by french filmmaker Jean-Pierre Jeunet which gave this movie a different style. The sets are fine. There are some good action scenes. The characters are somewhat simple (exept for Ripley). The alien themselves are CGI and look okay but not great. There are the most gory scenes in this movie than in any of the other ALIEN movies. So all in all it's an average sci-fi horror/adventure movie that fans of the series might either like or hate. Though it's definitely much, much better than AVP.
