Review of Alien Resurrection (1997) by Rox22 — 17 Mar 2013
A really desperate attempt to follow the same formula that made Aliens such a success, only, it failed. At best I can say this movie is average. It does toy with some really interesting ideas, but they just don't get realized they way they could have been.
Ripley is very different in this movie, and I know this met with ALLOT of criticism from fans. But I get why she is this way, technically she is not Ripley, merely a clone that looks like here and with her memories, but she's OK with that and has embraced her new self.
It might not have been a bad idea if they would have shown this transition of acceptance, to allow the audience to accept her they same way. The "new" alien idea was just daft and ugly, I'm sure H.
R. Giger read the script and just design it with same effort as the writers. Winona Ryder and Ron Perlman are perhaps the only characters that are interesting adding a bit of fun and class to an otherwise bland cast.
Overall: This movie was more of a disappointment to me than it was bad. In hindsight I actually thought that it was rather enjoyable, it just had some really stupid moments that kind of spoiled it.
