There was no need to resurrect this franchise

Rating: 3/10 (15 June 2019)

Alien Resurrection is a film that does not know what it wants to be. It mixes black comedy with horror and miserably fails at both. Sigourney Weaver is back as Ellen Ripley (Actually a clone of the original Ripley) and does the best she can with what she is given, which is not much. She is the highlight of the film, that has almost nothing else going for itself. Besides Ripley, the rest of the characters are either miscast, (Winona Ryder) or just plain silly. Most of the dialogue and acting is risible. The film has a couple of funny moments but is not funny, it has a couple of nice shot scenes but it is not interesting or scary. The Alien franchise should have ended with the mediocre Alien 3, no need for a resurrection.
