Not without it's flaws *spoiler*

Rating: 6/10 (6 August 2004)

Let's get the obvious out of the way - this film had nothing on either Alien or Aliens. Having said that, it is still enjoyable, and much better than Alien 3.
On the negative side, the script contains many flaws, and I personally feel the ending was somewhat out of place. Yet Alien: Resurrection is a very captivating film to watch, for one main reason. Due to it being a Jean-Pierre Jeunet flick, the film is packed full of unique and unusual visual ideas (the 'Viper Pit' scene stands out somewhat), and the film as a whole has a brooding, creepy atmosphere.
In terms of content and pace, it falls somewhere between the dark, eerie atmospherics of Alien, and the action-heavy bravado of Aliens.
Actors Ron Perlman, Michael Wincott and Sigourney Weaver are outstanding. However, I feel that Brad Dourif should have had a much bigger role. But hey, we can't win 'em all, can we?
Overall, despite it's flaws, it's still a good all-round film. 6/10
