Underwater Aliens, excellent idea!

Rating: Null/10 (7 September 1999)

Other than the Religion references in Alien 3; I was very let down. Plot wise, it was really very average for an above average class of movie (namely the Alien series). This is why I thought that the Alien legacy was over, but I was wrong, DEAD WRONG. Resurrection was pleasing to the eye and had a very good plot, the references to the past movies were done with a style and class unlike many sequels today. (Ripley's first line in the movie is "My Mother told me there were no monsters, no real ones" with scientists all around looking at her in some sort of chamber, and that is the exact same line Newt said from the second Alien movies to Ripley about the Aliens.) Except I think Ripley was refering to the Scientists bringing her tortured soul back to life to re-live the horror she had already been through 3 times. The new age alien fighters aren't company men, nor are they marines, but more like space pirate guns for hire types that add a new element to the series, I hope if they do another movie, they use some of the characters because they interacted with Weaver's character extremely well. Especially the one known as "Johnner". After a very impressive show like the one in this movie it will be hard to top. Maybe Aliens vs. Predator finally will emerge.
