Review of Alien Resurrection (1997) by Everett J — 07 Jun 2012
"Alien Resurrection" is a sequel that is better than the 3rd installment, but so far worse than the first two that it fails to register. Ripley(Sigourney Weaver) is cloned and brought back life 200 years after the effects of number 3.
Basically scientists use her DNA to bring the aliens back to life, and the aliens then start killed everyone on the ship and causing havoc. That's the story in a nutshell. The first half of the movie is actually pretty good.
It's cheesy, but I like where things were going, then the second half comes and it just ruins the whole movie. Things get weird with Ripley, there's a little swerve to one of the characters, and the new alien(which looks like a mongoloid alien) looks stupid.
Franchises usually go bad after the first movie. The "Alien" had an amazing sequel,and then 2 turds of movies than honestly tarnish the reputation of the first 2. If you enjoy the franchise then you have seen thing or maybe even like it and think I'm nuts.
But if you haven't seen any, just skip this crap and stop with number 2.
