August 28, 2009I seem to be one of the only people who really like this film, I don't see why it killed of the Ripley side of the Alien franchise. To be fair to Jean-Pierre Jeunet, he had the hardest film in the series to follow as Ripley died in the last one, so he did a pretty good job. Sure ...( read more)

July 18, 2009Kinda like if Amelie birthed an alien. Glad it came after Alien 3, because if it was compared closer to the original two I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. It was fun, silly, action-y. Isn't Newborn just soo cute!

May 7, 2009I liked this, again its another visual masterpiece and really shows another great look for the series. The aliens are slick and lethal, the technology is believeable, ice cool and characters are top notch. Downers, the alien/human hybrid at the finale and a dodgy looking queen, s...( read more)

May 5, 2009Although it's got major flaws and some plot holes, I find myself liking Alien Resurrection a lot. First of all, I'm a sucker for horror and sci-fi movies. Second, I LOVE the Alien series, although Alien³ was a bit offbeat in the action department. Third, Sigourney Weaver is incre...( read more)

November 4, 2009Lot of goofs and one of the worst endings I could imagine... after aliens they should close the saga. Ron Perlman makes a great job (anyone else thinks the character of Adam Baldwin in serenity is based on Ron's work?)

October 31, 2009I didnt even know when this came out and I was a massive alien fan. But when I accidently saw it at the age of 12 it blew my mind with the gore and the shocks. This is a good story with some great scenes, a worthy sequel to the first 2 alien movies that are true classics.

April 22, 2007With so many unexplored plot lines in the previous three movies, why did they have to jump far into the future and eliminate the previously developed world. As much as I -=LOVED=- 2 and 3, this was a total disappointment. Better to retire the series then have made this piece of crap!

August 13, 2006Return to form for the Alien series, although it doesn't quite match up to Aliens (the smugglers are no substitute for the marines).

June 23, 2006The forth and (hopefully not) final film in the alien series is a gory one. If you are squemish then you will need a bucket or two for this. If you thought The Punisher was violent, you will be shocked with the horror of Alien Resurrection. My kind of film.
