Cheap Imitation of Aliens

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2001)

It was too similar in theme, monster, and plot. The only difference is Riddick, whom- in the spirit of Rambo and blacksploitation heroes, is the baddest mofo in the galaxy, apparently. He can stop big bull charging aliens with his bare hands, and also take them out with nothing more than a large bone claw dagger. Aliens (the movie) had some bad marines who could kick serious tail, but that seriously didn't have any bearing on who lives and dies. Also, there were holes all over the movie, and the dialogue often came out as being aesthetically displeasing in some situations. You sit through these scenes when Jack (Jackie) squeeks and just says a lot of really annoying things, and you clench your teeth. One last point I should make is that you really didn't care much about the characters, because they weren't too deep, or realistic, so the suspense was lousy. 4/10
