ways too underrated

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2011)

the fourth part of the alien saga belongs to the most underrated sci-fi- movies. obviously, it got this sequel stigma, but under this surface is more then just a sequel. there is a brilliant storyline that deals with philosophic matters without being too ... intellectual. the movie negotiates human existence: we see different concepts or versions of the human being. man, clone, robot, the crossbreed of man and alien. man is not gonna earn a right to survive. he is presented as the most inhuman of these versions. and its the robot and the clone, that gonna save the earth from the alien. the movie doesn't answer this question and it doesn't have to. the question leaves a bad taste (in a very good way), thats worth 10 points. truly, the movie is not as dark as the previous parts. i see it as an advantage, that its not gonna copy the darkness. that it de-gigers the appearance of aliens, without getting rid of a special, still remaining feeling of imprisonment and exoticism.
