Review of Alien Resurrection (1997) by Bfoore90 — 31 Dec 2020

So ALOT of people hate this film, I've noticed. Ive seen alot of people on YouTube completely annihilate this movie in some overly hilarious reviews. Its campy, over-the-top and almost a complete separation in terms of style from the first 2 entries.

Much like Alien 3, all the characters are body bags to be killed so they're not memorable. The gore is over-the-top and some of the performances are comically bad (Brad Dourif). Sigourney Weaver is fantastic as always but this film's biggest issue seems to be an apparent clash of styles between Joss Whedon's script and the direction.

Of course, Whedon says it wasn't his fault but has anyone noticed whenever something goes bad and Whedon is involved he blames everyone but himself? Basically Alien Resurrection isn't a great film. Its not as bad as people make it out to be but its not that great either or even good enough to be "okay." Its just kind of there.
