I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Wow. I thought "Alien 3" was bad. I guess I was wrong."Alien Resurrection" is one of the worst sequels I've ever seen. This movie was so boring I struggled to stay awake. It was pointless for Signorney Weaver to come back since her character was deceased in the last movie, and her getting cloned in this was ridiculous to begin with. There was no build up or good structure on the story. It felt like it was lazily made. Lastly, the Alien felt wasted and was just there.A really unnecessary sequel that could've and should've been scraped.in thrown in the trash can.

This is my FAVORITE in the Alien series. It is very dark, suspenseful and has just a greater setting in space than the others in the series. I hated Aliens ( a cat and Bill Paxton ruined this film for me as I hate cats and Paxton has his worst acting in this film!) and Alien 3 with a passion and this was a breath of new life the series desperately needed. I also love the overall story and action scenes in this movie and recently grabbed in on Blu Ray to add to my collection. Definitely worthy against those who disliked it, and I have noticed fans that didn't like this movie also like stuff I hate. So this is DEFINITELY one of the only movies that split up the fanbase like how JJ Abrams has ruined Star Wars forever! Anti-Disney. Anti-Abrams because he is one of the worst directors EVER!

Hello from the future! ...the year is 2017.I am now reviewing this movie Alien Resurrection made in the year 1997. This movie is AWFUL! ...I really can't say that enough. It is awful!Some movies you watch and you can recognise that they are timeless. Movies that don't take on board the fashions of the time, the rhetoric, the humour or the TERRIBLE brand of cliché' Euro black comedy! and popular 'actors' like Winona Ryder hee hee.I really mean it when I say that this movie is awful from the first frame to the last. It just starts SO BADLY!There are no spoiler alerts in my review, because I felt the whole movie was spoiled by the awful humour. Since when was Alien ever ever ever a comedy? This movies stunk to high heaven of the mainstream 90s! ...it was punishing to watch from the view of the year 2017 where I had just been watching movies like 'Alien - Prometheus' and 'Alien - Covenant'.Alien Resurrection made in 1997. Alien made in 1979.The effects for the movie made near 20 years later were AWFUL! ...shoddy, cheap, B-MOVIE, the space crafts looked so bad!I cannot even look at this movie again! ... it is not an Alien movie, I completely discount it as an Alien movie and I WILL not include in with the likes of Prometheus, Covenant and Nostromo (which is what I call Alien 1979).Ridley Scott is a genius, lets leave him to make the Alien movies shall we.

Alien ResurrectionThe hardest part of mixing human and alien DNA is picking the right mood music.Regrettably, the scientists in sci-fi thriller don't divulge which slow-jams were successful.When a ship of mercenaries (Winona Ryder, Ron Perlman, Dominique Pinon) docks at a military vessel to drop off stasis bodies for scientific experiments, they recognize a familiar face. Despite being dead for 200 years, military heroine Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) appears alive, well and enhanced with alien attributes, including acidic blood.The mercs eventually discover that there are other genetically engineered aliens aboard and that the infested ship is headed straight for Earth.Thanks to French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, this third sequel in the Alien franchise manages to stand on its own merits, despite sharing similarities with its predecessors. With strong female leads and creative visuals this unsung sequel deserves revisiting. However, the real horror show doesn't start until the human/alien in-laws meet.Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca
