A Good Time

Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2012)

I gave this movie a 9 because it is honestly my favorite Alien movie to watch and I don't think 6.2 is nearly high enough rating. I think most of the other reviewers are being movie snobs and perhaps were hoping this movie was more like the original. Now don't get me wrong, i enjoyed the original Alien, but I think some people are giving that movie too much credit. Sure it was an amazing and quite original movie, but that was in 1979. People were more dazzled by anticipation and suspense. Watching it now, there are some parts that I think are a little, dry, long, and boring. People complain about Resurrection's lack of character development compared to the original but I don't really see the characters in the original having noticeably wondrous depth as people seem to imply. I think both movies show people having as much complexity as reasonable and necessary in their circumstances. I really enjoyed Ripley in this film as she was bizarre, quirky and kick ass. Other than that I'll say that this movie is the most fun of the series. It's full of action, humor, a bit of horror,many interesting elements some suspense, and a lot bad-assedness. Also i recommend watching the special edition as it has some extra scenes that add more explanation and "depth" to the film.
