All-around terrible

Rating: 5/10 (18 April 2007)

The really dark sense of humour that the film attempts works for me for about fifteen minutes. After that, it just gets really, really bad. The film looks nice, but that's about all it's got going for it. Sigourney Weaver is a real badass for about half the film, but then she melts and becomes really boring. Winona Ryder - wow, talk about a terrible performance. Far too much attitude in her android. The script is pretty bad; the terrible acting combined with cheesy dialogue makes it sound even worse. Not to mention the story is just lame. The 'love scene' was one of the funniest scenes I've ever watched. The visuals are a marked improvement over the other films, but it's to no avail. The underwater scene is kinda cool, but ruined by the acting; the scene with the hybrid getting sucked out of a tiny hole in the window is incredibly gory, but, again, ruined by Weaver's crying face. Just a terrible attempt at an Alien black comedy.
