Have 1, 2, 3--I'll never get Alien 4

Rating: 1/10 (3 May 2009)

3 is very depressing but it was fairly well written and realistic. Poor Ripley had to contend with the usual evil alien in and out belly and alongside that the possibility a prisoner could rape or kill her. What held my attention--How was Ripley going to get out. Well, she got out her predicament--Not in the way I would wish but it made sense.
Nothing in Alien part 4 makes sense. I've seen it only once and that was more than enough. Events taking place 100 plus years later doesn't explain how they successfully merged two vastly different species, one that is especially lethal to the other, without some method; one is never provided mentioned how this was done. The internal confusion that usually crops up when a cloned character is in a plot isn't hashed out not one second--and if one movie needed it to happen was this one. Other than the basketball scene Ripley space reptile is completely unwatchable, not one shred of her human side and I was incessantly confused whose side she's on--found nothing positive about her nor those characters surrounding her. There's plenty to nauseate, though, the octopus derived mutations, the tedium of slow or still imagery and the swathed in bubble wrap Jabba the Hutt calling itself a "baby".
