Review of Alien Resurrection (1997) by Bryan%20 F — 27 Jul 2018
Alien Resurrection concludes the original Alien saga. This time we get a clone of Ellen Ripley(as she had self-immolated herself in 3) that some scientists aboard a spaceship create by working on the DNA samples of Ripley they recovered at the site of movie 3.
Along with the DNA is intertwined a DNA of the Queen alien embryo that was gestating inside Ripley in Alien 3. The team aboard the spaceship create eggs from the embryo out of which emerge the new Xenomorphs- these are expert swimmers, creepy looking and share a bond with the "mother" Ellen Ripley.
The usual trope follows- the scientists, machine squads and a group of space mercenaries are hunted by the hybrid Aliens. This is a decent film and contains some pretty good action set pieces(an underwater chase sequence is a highlight) and great set designs.
(Not on par with Alien or Aliens but worth a watch).
