I hate just about everything in this film. People (including myself) complained about Alien 3 for a lot of points. Quite frankly, that film is amazing in comparison. Direction, acting, plot quality... everything. I know Joss Whedon is the writer on this, but I can't believe this is what was in his mind while scripting. I've enjoyed many other things this guy has written, but I have a hard time figuring out how this would have worked at all. Also, it blows my mind how this series has dropped in effects quality with each new film. Just, don't bother watching this at all, it is a total wreck.

Super fun! I wasn't expecting 'Alien Resurrection' to come out better than 'Alien³'. Sure, this 1997 flick isn't as great as 'Alien' and 'Aliens' but I honestly wouldn't put it that far off. I really enjoyed it, cracking action coupled with a great cast. Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley is a pleasure as always, meanwhile this is the most I enjoyed a support cast from the franchise. Winona Ryder, Ron Perlman, Brad Dourif, Raymond Cruz, Gary Dourdan and Michael Wincott all have positive moments. Not the franchise's best, yet arguably its most entertaining. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The last chapter in the "Alien" saga is also the weakest movie of the quadrology! It has an even more unrealistic story than Aliens (Alien 2). Additionally to this shortcoming it's too much action & too few horror elements. And most annoyingly Jean-Pierre Jeunet added (or at least tried to add) some humour and comical phrases which are absolutly missplaced. The best thing about the movie are gorgeous aliens in it! All in all it was an absolutely unnecessary extension to an excellent trilogy.

There is so little about this film that works at all - a specific moment here or there such as Ripley's encounter with the previous clones perhaps. Winona Ryder is completely miscast and most of the performances are so over the top, even actors you can usually rely on, such as Perlman, fail to inject any sort of interest or emotional connection. Most of the humour falls flat and there is certainly nothing here to scare, with the emphasis on body horror and gore. It doesn't help that the effects look dated and cheap, something that could never be said about the previous entries, even the third. The setup of Ripley's character is initially intriguing, but this version of Ripley is far too removed from the original, meaning the film is unable to rely on the emotional connection to the character from the previous films and the script here is far too weak to make the audience care about what is effectively a new character. Weaver does her best, but this is not Ripley at all - the filmmakers seem to have completely forgotten about what made the character so compelling in the first place, instead choosing to focus on her superhuman abilities that have been passed on to her. An entry that adds little to the series and, given the closure that the third one provides, is perhaps best avoided.

One of the worst films I've ever seen. How people continue to make apologies for it is beyond me.
