Rating: Null/10 (29 March 1999)

In my mind, Alien Resurrection should not even be considered to be the fourth installment of the alien series. The first,"Alien", was brilliant in introducing you to this new kind of creature, and what it would be like if you met up with one. A great drama thriller flick."Aliens", the second alien movie, excellent too, but it was more action and suspense,(fine by me). "Alien 3", I disliked very much mostly becuse of the transition that scary action movies took later on from being pure excitement and jump scenes, to dark comedic, bad A** movies. Now, "Alien Resurrection", I thought had a good idea for describing the aliens' lifestyles for you. but, it didn't show you enough, all it did was show that they are smart creatures which was something that we already knew. Then, their escape from their pens was smart, but if it was so easy for them to do it, they would have done it a long time ago. People start to die way too early in the film. The creepy crawly effect is gone, (starting with Alien 3). And like Alien 3, is more of a dark comedic, bad a** film, with actors who look like they could have been drunk stung out punk rockers, and a new breed of aliens that look so ferocious they could have come out of the bottom of a cereal box. Which brings up another point, there never should have been a new breed of aliens, it's a stupid idea. The earlier aliens looked much more dangerous and scary, plus it is the original good old bad guy. This alien looked like an anorexic jaba the hut with a beer belly and nail polish. Lastly, Ripley should have been killed off in the last alien film, which would have honorably laid to rest the Alien saga and our human hero friend who sacrificed her life to save mankind from the aliens. Then again, at the end of Alien 3, the baby alien was already out of Ripley's stomach, so it was killed in the burning lead. So, why in Alien Resurrection, did they say that they took the aliens body out of Ripley's where it was not harmed. It was just an excuse at an attempt to create yet another (sigh) chapter. I do not recomend this film to anyone who has seen the first two alien movies, I think the saga should have ended at the second one, when the queen alien was killed, but that's the way life goes. For anyone who has not seen any Alien movie or at least Alien 3, I reluctantly request you see this film, even though I hate knowing that you would be wasting your hard earned money on a film that makes a mockery of a brilliant storyline and plot. Thank You.
