Take a deep breath and say...This movie doesn't exist. Don't you feel better? No matter how many good points you can pile up about this movie, it just doesnt fit in the series, and I would rather ignore it, reffering to the Alien movies as a trilogy. The first was a masterpiece, the second will blow you away, even the third, if weakest (of the trilogy) still is fascinating and quite entertaining,and a fitting ending to the mighty trilogy (...this is Ripley, signing off.) Than there came Alien Ressurection. Jeez, for one thing, it's not even Ripley anymore, it's a dumb clone! Another, the Newborn!! Oh, God!! It is so stupid looking and more pathetic than terrifying. When it was born, people in the theater were actually laughing out loud (no joke, I even found me chuckling to myself.) How did H.R. Giger allow this to happen??? It is a hideous freak of nature that kills the mighty queen in one swipe!! I have to say, the scene that Ripley sees 1-7 reject clones is first-class filmmaking and a masterpiece scene, but cannot save the fact that this is no more than a cash in on the Alien Trilogy. Even when watching the other Alien movies now, I can't help but have a bad taste in my mouth knowing how it all ends up, which is why I don't consider this part of the Alien series. The trilogy is great storytelling that fits in seamlessly, and admit it, you didn't wanna see Ripley die, but come on, let's be realistic. After three encounters with the beast, it is unbelievable that she would survive (as it is amazing that she simply survived the first time!) while if Ressurection is ignored you will be happier. TRUST ME.
