About this movie

Terror is reborn in the shocking conclusion to the Alien saga! Two hundred years have passed since Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) made the ultimate sacrifice, but a group of scientists has cloned her—along with the Alien queen inside her—hoping to create the ultimate weapon. Now Ripley must team up with a band of smugglers, including a mechanic named Call (Winona Ryder), to combat a new breed of Alien!

Any diehard Alien fan will agree that Alien Resurrection is the WORST film from the franchise. Also, the special edition of this movie does NOT save/fix the film in any shape or way. I highly doubt this movie will become a cult classic/overlooked in the future unlike Alien 3 which ended up being one of the most fascinating & overlooked sequel of the franchise. However, Alien Resurrection will never be redeemed in the future. This film is basically a one time viewing experience & nothing more.

The movie's visuals have made me queasy since 1997. They are out of place in this space horror/adventure. It has a gloppy yellow and purple feel and a tone that seems blackly comic whereas the script might have made a decent sf action film in the hands of another director. The Director's Edition of Alien3 is much better, and it took years for me to find anything good in that movie. Resurrection has no redeeming qualities, in this form, and even the Ripley clone is unlikable. A viewer doesn't care what happens to all these nihilistic characters. But the actors do their best, and the director is a true talent, just not the person for this job.
