All was lost.

Rating: Null/10 (1 August 2007)

Alien Resurrection was a movie that started up with an exciting and promising script. The idea of bringing Ripley back was thrilling to Fox and they went right away and chose Jean Pierre Jeunet for his and my own surprise because it was one of the things that ruined the film (but not the series).
The problem is that the creatures are no longer menacing. The humor concerning the concept of the aliens and Pierre's parody of all that was built in previous installments join the cgi aliens that are completely shown at every occasion to bring down the credibility and mystery of the alien and therefore all possible attempt at making this film tense or scary. This is further aggravated by the ridiculous looking Newborn, they could have simply asked H.R.Giger to design a new breed of a giant xenomorph but they instead came up with an orange hybrid that has a tongue and eyes, moves stupidly and even has breasts.
There are a few good points however: Sigourney's brilliant performance and some character development is given but it is still very injured by the stupid humor and self parody of the concept of the creature.
It is still a must have for Alien fans but, in any occasion, should a new fan or person who has never seen the series before see this movie first (nor Alien vs Predator).
