Amazon.com Perhaps these films are like the Star Trek movies: The even-numbered episodes are the best ones. Certainly this film (directed by French stylist Jean-Pierre Jeunet) is an improvement over Alien 3, with a script that breathes exciting new life into the franchise. This chapter is set even further in the future, where scientists on a space colony have cloned both the alien and Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), who died in Alien 3; in doing so, however, they've mixed alien DNA with Ripley's human chromosomes, which gives Ripley surprising power (and a bad attitude). A band of smugglers comes aboard only to discover the new race of aliens--and when the multi-mouthed melonheads get loose, no place is safe. But, on the plus side, they have Ripley as a guide to help them get out. Winona Ryder is on hand as the smugglers' most unlikely crew member (with a secret of her own), but this one is Sigourney's all the way. --Marshall Fine
Description A group of scientists has cloned Lt. Ellen Ripley, along with the alien queen inside her, hoping to breed the ultimate weapon. But the resurrected Ripley is full of surprises for her "creators," as are the aliens they've imprisoned. And soon, a lot more than "all hell" breaks loose. To combat the creatures, Ripley must team up with a band of smugglers, including a mechanic named Call (Ryder), who holds more than a few surprises of her own.
Please, no more Alien moviesJanuary 1, 2009 I was hoping Resurrection would shine a little light on the Alien movies and bring things back into perspective that had just dissapeared along with Ripley when she dove into that pool of lava like fluid at the end of A3. However this movie sucked big time and is truly the worst film in the series even Alien 3 was better. Alien Resurection could have been a great movie if it wasn't for, the sloppy script, almost comic inspired gory deaths, glossy cinematograpy, bogus computer animation, and bad acting which just ruin this movie.
Jean-Pierre Jeunet did an imbarrasing job to the franchise with mutated and retarded looking Aliens to poor unfinished scenes which just confused me even more. I was shocked at how typical the movie looked, and how the computer animated Aliens just ruined the overall creativeness that ALIEN and ALIENS shone on the world of cinema. The movie lacks the gritty, dark, almost realistic vision that the previous films had as far as the appearance goes. Resurrection is just too glossy looking. Another thing that sucked was that there was barly any action in the movie at all and when there was it was quick, cheap and boring.
This movie is a just a whacky spinoff nothing more, nothing less. I wouldn't even call it part of the series. It is more of a different version of the franchise which made everything about the movie suck!. If you love the Alien series like me, do yourself a favour and miss this one it just destroys everything.
Its Ok!December 23, 2008 I was too young to see the other Alien films in the theater when they came out, so this was the one that I saw. After buying the Legacy set and seeing it again I have to say that it really is not that bad. It has a completely different feel than the others and takes Ripley to a different level that I never would have imagined. Looking back on it should they have made it? Maybe not. But it was good to see an Alien movie in the theater. I always felt that Aliens was the best one. The android was a bit much in this film and a far cry from the awesome Bishop of the second film.
Cheesy and poorly made.December 21, 2008 Wow, what a disappointment. Almost everything in this movie sucked, from the weak and monotonous set design, the overacted (but underdeveloped) characters, the predictable plot, the almost comically inept abilities of the military characters, the annoying musical score, the dumbed-down symbolism of Ripley as the 'mother' of the aliens (complete with a laughable scene where the alien looks at Ripley with googly eyes and almost says, "mama...?"), etc.
I had a sort of respect for the first two movies in this franchise for their innovative set design, use of special effects, etc. but the third and ESPECIALLY the fourth installments are just cheesy.
I guess die-hard Alien fans need to see this, but for all others, be forewarned... this movie is a predictable and poorly made waste of time.
Alien AbominationDecember 10, 2008 I can't believe Sigourney Weaver read this script and said "Yeah, I'll do it!". Easily the worst of the Alien films and quite possibly one of the worst films ever made. What is Alien Resurrection suppose to be? A black comedy or an actual sequel to Alien 3? Either way it fails miserably. The acting is atrocious, the story is non-linear and absurd and the direction is abysmal. Believe the hype...this movie sucks!
Weird, but Moderately EntertainingNovember 18, 2008 This movie was difficult to rate, mostly because it was so weird. There are shades here of Chronicles of Riddick and Resident Evil 3. Consistently dark, not especially plausible, slightly mind-numbing, and yet fairly original and even in some respects thought-provoking. At the end of the movie one is left with the impression that we are all monsters to some degree, and that what makes us human is not our flesh and blood, but our compassion. Definitely not Joss Whedon's best writing, but worth watching some Saturday when you have not in particular to do.
