I laughed, I cried...

Rating: Null/10 (7 March 2001)

No, really!
This movie is terrific fun -- but as science fiction or even an "Alien" franchise flick, it's garbage. And you have to suspect that WEaver knew it, too -- she seems to lay back and play it mostly for irony, giving a remarkably good impression of a macho male action-hero.
Curiously, this is the first flick I recall seeing Weaver in where they don't make an effort to shoot around her height. In fact, they augment it with a set of platform parachute boots that look like they came straight out of a goth boutique.
Wincott and Perlman turn in their usual slimily fascinating bad guys, but Ryder is woefully miscast and out of place.
Bottom line: This is the ideal choice for a "bad movie" night with a few beers and some friends.
