Summary: new look and refreshing characters
Review: Well I like the alien series the way it is: entertaining sci-fi movies with the never ending fight between ripley and the aliens. The last one of the series has definitely its own identity and look. Who are the worst the humans or the aliens ? The confrontation between S weaver and W Ryder is rather cool also. The scene in the prison between those two is quite refreshing. Ah yes this one may be the goriest movie of the serie! very good movie

Summary: A Worthy Sequel
Review: While Resurrection was panned by the critics and some fans of the series, it was a marked improvement over Alien 3. Best of all, it takes the series to a new level, wherein the 3rd one was simply a rehash of the first with a higher body count. I did find the half man/alien creature a bit of a disappointment, but it didn't ruin the movie for me. My favorite scene was when Ron Perlman hangs upside down from the ladder and shoots the alien coming up the ladder, then swings himself up only to to react in fear to a spider in a web. Before Resurrection came out I was hoping they would do a sequel in which the aliens were being studied in a lab. If another Alien movie is done, I hope it deals with their planet of origin. My suggestion: humanoid bings on another planet developed the aliens as a sort of bio-weapon (just like the Company wants to do by capturing one of them) that goes awry and wipes out the cretors. Then along come some humans to explore the planet and guess what... Anyway, I recommend Alien Resurrection. I have only seen it once and may feel differently on a second viewing.

Summary: Alien, even to an Alien movie!
Review: This movie was so bad. It went into a totally new direction than the other 3, corny. This was also the Alien film where the supporting cast of humans were more frightening looking than the aliens. The best was the original. It just went downhill from there. I'd say they're at the bottom now!

Summary: Absolutely great
Review: People dissapointed with this movie didn't catch it at all. It's amazing and amusing all at once. Perfect combination of action, horror and humour completed by very unique and original concept.However there is one stupid technical bug in this movie. The research vessel travels from Jupiter to Earth only 2 hours. It means in the best case of shortest possible distance it has speed 90000 km/s at least (in the worst case it is 130000). The ship was not moving before aliens escaped and acceleration required to gain this speed simply squashes anything on the ship even the ship itself. Impact of such huge ship with so high speed on Earth would kill anything live for ever as well. This is however not the cream of the movie which is by far the best from all 'Aliens'.

Summary: The Alien that the 90s needed
Review: Alien was excellent. Aliens had 0 to do with Alien but was still good. Alien3 was Alien in a different setting. Resurtion combined the best elements from the first two and added something that was needed. Moral greys abound in this one leaving you with no ne to root for and that is what the 90s needed. We don't have heroes anymore so there is no reason to make Ripley, the priates, the army, or the Xeno's heroic. That was probably the best part of this one. But it still doesn't top Alien.

Summary: Pales in comparison to the first two movies.
Review: Does anyone see a lot of similarities between the Alien series and the Batman series? The first two movies in both series are the best, and the last two are the worst. Don't get me wrong. "Alien: Resurrection" actually started out pretty good, at least until the middle of the movie. The first two are the best by far, and the third was much too depressing. The idea of cloning Ripley sounded like a good idea, and I was looking forward to seeing this movie. Unfortunately, this movie went downhill as soon as the aliens escaped for a number of reasons. 1)At the first sign of trouble, the soldiers on the "Auriga" immediately retreat, not even bothering to put up a fight. The marines in "Aliens" kicked a**; how come the soldiers in this movie are portrayed as wimps? 2)Terrible acting and dialogue, especially Winona Ryder. She never should have been in the movie in the first place. Even Sigourney Weaver was awful; she barely did anything in this movie, and she didn't kill nearly as many aliens as she did in the second one. 3)The aliens were only seen in basically two scenes: when they escaped from their prison, and in the underwater scene. Most of the rest of the movie is just talking. It worked in "Alien", but not in this one. 4)What about the Queen? She's supposed to be the leader of the aliens, and we only saw her twice in the whole movie. And, to top it all off, that godawful Newborn kills her with one blow?!! What a crappy way to kill one of the best creations in this series! 5)And, the worst insult of all, the Newborn. A half-human, half-alien hybrid. Oooh, scary. The movie doesn't really explain how that thing came to be. The ending was the weakest in the movie. The Newborn gets blown out of space (deja vu), and the "Auriga" crashes into the Earth, wiping out a large percent of the planet's population. Think about it; crashing the ship into Earth will kill as many people as the aliens would've, probably even more. A stupid idea. Not to mention, the movie wasn't even scary or suspenseful. It had some redeeming qualities (the underwater battle, Ripley discovering the other attempts to clone her), and there's plenty of gore. But, other than that, the movie sucks, plain and simple. Stick with the first two, and ignore the rest. Hopefully, "Alien 5" will be an improvement.

Summary: Alien: The Next Generation
Review: The picture and sound quality on this DVD are excellent. The lack of features does not help, though, on what is definitely the weakest of the four films. I have seen Alien Resurrection a few times now and I find myself coming to the same conclusion. It is an interesting idea, but perhaps it tends to be a little too much like a comic strip. Nevertheless the film is quite good, only going off the rails in the last twenty minutes when Ripley meets the Alien Queen and then the Newborn arrives. Bad idea that should have been scrapped. The ending has to be the worst of all the movies. Nor am I sure what to make of this ambivalent Ripley. My hope is that, if there is an Alien 5, it should be the last one. I like the idea of a private expedition searching for and finding the alien planet of origin. Now that would be one to watch! Alien Origin anyone?

Summary: Not an ALIENS movie
Review: Watch ALIENS. Then compare. Then wonder what the hell happened. Like the comment made earlier, this does no feel like an ALIENS film ( I am by no means an expert on movies, yet by the first few minutes of the movie, I knew it was being directed by some french guy ). The characters were more like caricatures in there one- dimensional acting, and they had a "cartoonish" aspect to them. Probably the most ludicrous part of the movie was the "richochet" scene where one of the guns-for-hire shoots his pistol in the air to hit the marine below ( totally out of place in the ALIENS universe ). It's saving grace was the way the movie potrays the ALIENS, in that even though a threat to humanity and must be exterminated, they still hold a loathsome beauty and grace that man can only pervert and never perfect. It's only unfortunate that this message is blurred by laudible parodies of evil scientists and equally inept military men.
