Some good scenes and effects

Rating: Null/10 (29 April 2004)

200 years after her death Ellen Ripley is cloned and an Alien queen is surgically removed from her body. The United Systems Military breed the Aliens which escape and an alien enhanced Ripley with group of mercenaries must stop them.
I viewed the directors cut of Alien: Resurrection, it includes a few added bits - Lt. Ellen Ripley Clone #8 refers to Newt a few times, an alternate title sequence, a landing on earth and a few extra seconds here and there add to the mood making all the difference.
The down side though - some of the acting is too hammy, the Alien effects are computerised in parts which is just as distracting as they were back in 1997. They should have stuck to practical effects until CGI effects were perfected as the physical special effects are outstanding.
The New born is great and still gets my sympathy vote. The whole film isn't a gritty as the previous but the sets are fantastic. Some characters do get developed,there are some memorable moments which usually include Perlman or Weavers characters.
The film including the extra bits bridge the earlier films making Resurrection a more enjoyable ride for Alien fans but to date, despite some good scenes it is debatably the weakest of the series.
Watch and witness the resurrection.
