I almost cried...

Rating: 2/10 (1 June 2013)

So what I do is to buy the entire Alien Quadrilogy, and sit down for a marathon. The first two were awesome, the third being alright, and then I look forward to seeing how they could continue after killing off Ripley. And with Alien Resurrection, they proved that the third movie should have been the last one. Not sure if anyone notices, but the crew following Ripley in each movie have a lot to say for the atmosphere. The original movie had a spaceship crew, then come the marines, and after that come a bunch of space convicts. Sorry, but I can't see the people in this movie as anything else than a bunch of retards. Some scenes I loathe: the scientist that uses steam to tame an Alien, scenes with that gun-guy ricocheting bullets via the walls and things (it's just not going to work), the way Ripley shows little fear of the Aliens anymore, and (good grief) the new Alien introduced at the end of the movie: Clone-Ripley's hybrid-humanoid-alien-beast-thing. Let's take a look at the last one. To me, he became an instant Jar Jar Binks of the Alien universe. My first thought was: "NO". When they kill it, it even looks at Ripley with sad eyes and desperately cries "Mommy!" Dear producers, think for a second: this thing had been alive for almost five minutes, and now it has learned English. Just the ending in itself kills everything with the Aliens: the danger, the sinister promise of certain death, and the pure genius characteristic design of HR Giger. Just sad. Please, no more Alien movies after this one. Some things can not be repaired.
