Should have stayed just an idea

Rating: Null/10 (4 July 1999)

I am a great fan of the Alien series, and when I heard that a fourth was on the way, I was so ecstatic. Alien 3 had left me wanting more, as if it hadn't really ended. But when I came out of the theatre I realized that it had really sucked. The characters were just so odd looking that I couldn't look at them for long. Ripley's character turned from a likeable woman who was scared of her own surroundings to a cold and lifeless alien who embraced the bugs, which totally destroyed the purpose of her at all. The aliens are everywhere and they are never in the dark, so I was never scared of them through this. As much as I want an Alien 5, that would mean that the survivors would be in it. Woe is me.....Woe is the series....
