Review of Alien Resurrection (1997) by Rwick — 28 Jan 2016

How does this waste of celluloid have a better rating than Alien 3? While it may have more action to it than its predecessor, Alien: Resurrection does to the franchise what the '90's Godzilla did to that one.

Performances are comedically hollow, starting with Wynona Rider whose entrance into the film series seems to be an attempt to pass the lead role of Sigourney Weaver to her. Instead, Weaver's passable performance only serves to further juxtapose how utterly dreadful all the rest are.

While the Alien looks good, probably better than it ever has, the script and performances give this whole movie a Sci-Fi Channel original film. I only hope for a new Alien film to wash the ugly aftertaste of this one away.
