Summary: Why, why, why?
Review: The original was great, the second one was pretty cool. The third was a little unnecessary, but this was way beyond pathetic. Same bloody scenes, same acid blood, blah, blah, blah. This is two hours of gore, bore, and snore. Sigourney...the plot is dead...spare us, please!

Summary: The worst entry of the Alien series
Review: Some people call it art because it's French. Other people think it is terrible, because it is. Alien Resurrection tread hitherto unexplored ground: a sequel worse than Alien3. How did they manage it? Horrible, absolutely horrible, dialogue. Insane lame-brained plot that makes no sense whatsoever. Overacting abound. Bad special effects (you'd think they'd get that part right, since they spent the most money on it, but no). Aliens that dodge bullets. Why even mention the insipid "child" thing? In case you forgot, this creation used to be the worst character in cinematic history before it was replaced by Jar Jar Binks. Remember, kiddies, just because a French art director made some good movies a long time ago doesn't mean he still makes good movies now.

Summary: What is the point?
Review: Ok i dont know bout the rest of you, but the 4th film reallysucked. Winona wasnt made for the part, and the rest of the characterswere cheesy. The story was really stupid as well. Alien 3 was far more original with atmosphere and charaters even the music. This one just didnt have anything really going for it. And the ending is messed up too. wow. In other words, this one isnt really about aliens, its more about weaver and winona. We hardly see any aliens. Im hoping the next alien film will be directed by someone other then this guy. Cause ripley died in the 3rd and it should be left at that. And also that new characters should be introduced, like in the books such as aliens: earth hive. If you are a fan of movies with action, this might work. But hard core alien fans should just skip this one and rent alien 3 instead.

Summary: Let's hope this is the last of the Alien series.
Review: I would like to warn all of you with weak stomachs, don't even think about watching this movie. This is, perhaps, the most violent movie that I have ever seen. I found it even more violent than Saving Private Ryan. Alien Resurrection is not interested in telling a story, the film seems only interested in grossing you out with unnecessary violence. Resurrection seems to be saying, "You thought that last scene was gross, this next scene is even more violent and gross." Hopefully this is the last Alien film.

Summary: A great heir to the ALien Legacy
Review: Alien Resurrection is one of the best Science-Fiction/Horror movies ever made. Fast-paced, beautiful camerawork a haunting score and great acting combine to make this a movie to remember. Sigourney Weaver actually adds to the already established character of Ripley and the supporting actors don't let her down. The atmosphere of the movie seems to be a cross between Alien and Aliens, with the terrible forboding of the first and the sense of hope of the latter, while the style and the directing remind more of Alien3. The cloned Ripley with some Alien characteristics on one hand and the ALien/human crossbreed the experiment has produced on the other spans the gap between Alien and Human more then the first three movies ever made possible and in the end, seeing the terrible result of human hubris and greed you realy wonder, like Ripley did in the second movie, which species is worse.

Summary: Loving the Alien
Review: Believe it or not, there's some life in the old girl. If you missed the last one (almost the entire viewing public did), all you really need to know is that the perpetually soggy-haired Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) died, taking her toothy little friends with her. Now, 200 years later, the big bad mama of sci-fi is actually a clone of the original. Ripley II, we soon find out, is really a half-breed-that's right, she's part alien-and the madman science guys have ordered some fresh homo sapiens for more experiments of the chest-popping variety. Oh, it's yucky, but in a good way. The story is one-note, horrific actually, but what did you expect. Everyone gets trapped in the spaceship and spend most of the movie being chased down eerie corridors or, most impressively, through a long, underwater storage tank, where bullets travel more slowly and the aliens swim like Mark Spitz. What makes Alien Resurrection one of best of the brood is the startling and rich camera work and the gothically immense sets, which create a claustrophobia you won't believe. It's a fabulously rendered piece of suspense.

Summary: Could have been so much better
Review: I so want to give this 5 stars and up the average mark but it COULD have been such a better film. Aliens and Alien are one of my favourite films of all time and even though Alien3 wasn't a patch on either of them, I was expecting a lot from Resurrection. It was a good idea to keep Ripley in it and bring her back along with the brilliant Miss Ryder but the story just didn't cook. Good moments but not really too much suspense. What would now be great is to see an Alien film with them on Earth, as this film had much promise and on its own is a very good film but as the 4th Alien film is a dissopointment on the first 2 but it thankfully makes 3 not seem as bad.

Summary: One of the best!
Review: How can people not like this one, it's perhaps the best ALIEN sequel (or at least better than 3)because it has a good plot, good acting, suspense and adrenelin like never before. I prefered this to the first ALIEN film.

Summary: Oh dear - pray this is the last in the series
Review: I may be unique, but I found this quite a sad film to watch. Not because of any feelings of sympathy/empathy you may have for the characters, mind - none of them is even remotely likeable enough for that - but because this really marks the death of the hitherto-credible Alien franchise. It's not worth going in to any of the scientific reasoning behind how or why Ripley was brought back from the dead - it is utterly bereft of any plausible explanation, further convincing me that this was a product of cash-in desperation. Suffice it to say, Ripley - the one character whose sufferings kept Alien 3 going - is now half-alien, and makes an impressive ice-queen (which, though fun to watch, means you couldn't care less for her either). Everyone else is either mad-evil-scientist or scum-of-the-earth, such that each icky death merely prompts a sigh of relief - you're really on the aliens' side all the way through, as, frankly, they're by far the most decent species in the entire film. Hideous, agonising deaths are what this is really all about. The first two of the series actually made you care for most of the characters, and often the gore was used, if at all, as the climax to a tense, distressing built-up, as in Kane's or Ash's deaths in the first film. It really served to shock. Here, it's all internal organs and puss, EVERYWHERE. There is no atmosphere at all - it didn't come close to creating the apprehensive butterflies-in-the-stomach sensation of the other films, despite some impressive sets. Even crippled with this story, it could so easily have been a good roller-coaster movie, but the juvenile direction refused to let any suspense get in the way of splattering innards. In fact, the only truly shocking moment came in the death of the "Newborn" thing at the end. I can honestly say that no other film event has disturbed me as much as this. Put simply, the creature's entire body was sucked out through the back of its head, leaving you with what seemed like minutes of it screaming in agony as its limbs disappeared into it, sucked out into space along with its internal organs. Frankly, any mind that can think up an idea such as this, let alone deride such overt satisfaction in filming it (as the director so obviously did), really deserves institutionalisation, not payment. It was an abhorrent event, which shocked and appalled. It would be unacceptable for those, after considerable investment to add "extra realism", to be paraded around as entertainment, so why this can be considered tolerable is beyond me. A grotesquely inhuman freak-show being sold for amusement - that serves as a somewhat generous summary of this film. And I thought the aliens were supposed to be the "bad guys"...
