Movie Reviews of Alien Resurrection
Movie Review: This is awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
In the previous aliens series... Ripley was alway on the run, terrified and blasting her way out for survival.After being cloned so they could pull the alien creature that was in her chest in Aliens 3, she is now "new and improved" with alien-like abilities!
In this one, she isn't the one scared... She's agressive! Her blood is acidic, she seems to ignore pain and the creatures pretty much accept her as one of their own. The story line on this one redeemed itself from Aliens 3 (which I thought wasn't all that great).
Other plusses (besides how cool Ripley is) is a sharp-shooter who can reflect his shots off walls and ceilings and a cast of other mercenary characters who are all interesting in their own way.
I'd say if you liked "Aliens" (the second in the series), this one is a must-see!
Movie Review: Alien Resurrection
Summary: 5 Stars
Two hundred years after Ellen Ripley died trying to eliminate the Alien species, they brought her back from blood samples taken earlier. It took several tries, and un-fortunate failures to get it right, but they weren't interested in Ellen Ripley- they wanted the alien inside her; and they got it, but they got more than they bargained for. When the aliens grew smart, they broke out of their enclosures. When the crew tried to run, they killed them. And when the Queen's secret was revealed, it exposed a bizare DNA mix-up that left both Ripley and the queen's genetics intertwined; giving light to a new alien that could spell certain doom for Earth. This movie is an entertaining modern fairy tale, a horror action movie, a splatter for the masses. In these categories, it delivers.Movie Review: Absolutely great
Summary: 5 Stars
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'.
Movie Review: The best of the series
Summary: 5 Stars
It seems like the first 2 were the most popular -- no doubt. The third was a dog. And this on is ... different. This is the one that reveals more of itself when seen again.
Really.
For me, anyway, I got more interested in it and saw different stuff each time I've seen it. I mean, after being chased arouind the galaxy for several centeries Ripley has never been a victim. In fact she manages to take the character to some kind of anti-victim-hood when she teeters between helping to save her team and eating them.
Anyway, I think this episode comes out as the best of the lot.
Movie Review: a great sci-fi, horror film
Summary: 5 Stars
The tendency is to make comparisons to the previous Alien films... But that's the easy way out! By itself, Alien Ressurection is a great sci-fi horror film with great special effects and great acting for this genre. Sigourney Weaver's returning role was expected, but Winona Ryder's induction into the series was totally refreshing and brought a different atmospheric quality to the whole movie.
The desolation in space, the morbid emptiness, the alien horror and inevitable destruction... it's all there, and makes for a horrific, yet fascinating trip into the depths of an ominous outer space.
