The best one could do

Rating: 7/10 (11 May 1999)

Well, this movie pretty much explores every interesting possibility left open by the first 3. The problem is however, that there are not that many left. Also there is the small issue, that Ripley died in the previous part (but in this kind of film logic is not an ingredient anyway).
On the other hand, some ideas were pretty original and the half-Alien Ripley was interesting, even if it was obvious, which side she would join. Also, this film featured one of the coolest Macho-characters ever. "What a waste of ammo - must be a chick thing."
