A film from a Belgian Artiste

Rating: 5/10 (5 May 2005)

I don't really think of this as the fourth installation of the Alien series. I think of it more of a "Hey, Hollywood came up with a film with an unthinkably horrible plot and handed it off to a famous Belgian director who can make anything look good." That being said, Jean-Pierre Jeunet did with it what he could. There wasn't much to do to it, but at least he made it look pretty! And, of course, there's Dominique Pinon, who has been in every single film by Jeunet that I've ever seen.
I thought the Alien series was great, but it had a good closer with Alien3. If you like French films by artistic directors, and you want to see what directors do when given an American-action-movie palette to paint with, then watch this flick. Otherwise, pass Alien: Resurrection by.
