Alien Desecration.

Rating: 2/10 (17 May 2007)

With Joss Whedon's annoyingly smart-ass script delivering annoying comic-book characters spouting annoying one-liners, and director Jean-Pierre Jeunet's annoyingly incongruous visual style, Alien Resurrection is a truly dreadful film that besmirches all that has gone before. In shortit is annoying.
With characters that wouldn't seem out of place in Whedon's terrible Serenity, some very bad CGI, awful acting (Wynona, how did you ever manage to become a film star? Sigourney, were you having a laugh or what?) and an ending so bad I was unsure as to whether I should laugh or cry, this film is a failure on almost every level.
Ripley, having died at the end of Alien 3, is cloned by the military, so that they can lay their hands on the alien queen that is inside her (is it just me, or does this make no sense whatsoever?). The new Ripley's DNA, however, is a fusion of alien and human, meaning that she now has superhuman strength, cool basketball skills and a liking for leather pants.
With a queen now in their possession, the military scientists quickly grow themselves a batch of aliens, using some poor saps, kidnapped by a bunch of unlikeable space rogues, as hosts for their creatures. However, once 'born', these aliens prove smarter than your average ET, and they soon escape to cause all manner of bloody mayhem .
Ripley, along with the rough and ready 'pirates' and an android terrorist, must try to escape death whilst also ensuring that the aliens do not successfully make their way to Earth.
I will confess to enjoying the gratuitous gore in this chapter of the franchise but, between them, Jeunet and Whedon have loaded this film with so many naff elements that fans of the series will surely curse their names for what they have done.
