Better than Alien 3, but not the same

Rating: 7/10 (19 February 2008)

Alien 3 was a survival movie without any weapons in a prison camp. I hated the film so much that I consider it the weakest of the saga. I couldn't even care for the Ellen Ripley character where even after her death, I was glad the film was over.
Alien: Resurrection is the fourth film in the series where the writers figured out a way to bring back the Ellen Ripley character just so it can make more money and show more blood. In this saga, Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is a clone lab rat where the doctors want to see what they can do to her after being resurrected. Not only is she a lab rat, but the doctors and scientist have managed to capture the aliens and the queen and test them like lab rats along with bringing the queen's eggs and experiment human guinea pigs.
Other cast members include Winona Ryder as Annalee Call, a member of a mercenary team led by Michael Wincott where other supporting characters include Ron Pearlman as a hotshot gun-shooter who remains a likable for the fans to enjoy. Brad Dourif (the voice of Chucky) is a doctor who gets victim to one of the experiments; Dan Hedaya has a short role as a general while Leland Orser has the same psychotic energy he brought in Seven (1995).
What saves this movie is the action and usage of guns compared to the survival and no weaponry of Alien 3. There is hardly any plot to care for, but then again it's not a perfect film. It tries at least to bring the spirit of the first two movies.
