Good, but could have been done without

Rating: 4/10 (1 December 1998)

Alien: Ressurrection was definitely a good movie, but lacked much of the strength and purity of the other three. As in Aliens, the plot was perfect, there were no holes, no corny lines, no cheesy plot. Alien: Ressurrection had its share of these. Put it this way, three times in the movie, twice in almost a ten minute span did someone come out from behind a door, just happening to come upon the main group, and just so happening to be (every time) a crew member they thought had died earlier. Only like 3 or 4 main people died so the aliens weren't that much of a threat. And you didn't get to see the aliens much, they were just kinda there, as if they were almost minor. It touched all areas of a good movie but lacked in every one of them. It may be possible to reclone Ripley, but ones genetic code wouldn't include the alien. This makes for a weak (but pretty cool) main idea. The baby alien was evil, but dumb. It was gross and irritating. Everything that makes the Aliens series so good was altered and tampered with in Ressurection and just made for a poor addition to the Alien series.
