Editorial Review: Description: A group of scientists has cloned Lt. Ellen Ripley, along with the alien queen inside her, hoping to breed the ultimate weapon. But the resurrected Ripley is full of surprises for her "creators," as are the aliens they've imprisoned. And soon, a lot more than "all hell" breaks loose. To combat the creatures, Ripley must team up with a band of smugglers, including a mechanic named Call (Ryder), who holds more than a few surprises of her own. Amazon.com: Perhaps these films are like the Star Trek movies: The even-numbered episodes are the best ones. Certainly this film (directed by French stylist Jean-Pierre Jeunet) is an improvement over Alien 3, with a script that breathes exciting new life into the franchise. This chapter is set even further in the future, where scientists on a space colony have cloned both the alien and Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), who died in Alien 3; in doing so, however, they've mixed alien DNA with Ripley's human chromosomes, which gives Ripley surprising power (and a bad attitude). A band of smugglers comes aboard only to discover the new race of aliens--and when the multi-mouthed melonheads get loose, no place is safe. But, on the plus side, they have Ripley as a guide to help them get out. Winona Ryder is on hand as the smugglers' most unlikely crew member (with a secret of her own), but this one is Sigourney's all the way. --Marshall Fine Average Rating:
 Rating: - Weird, but Moderately EntertainingThis movie was difficult to rate, mostly because it was so weird. There are shades here of Chronicles of Riddick and Resident Evil 3. Consistently dark, not especially plausible, slightly mind-numbing, and yet fairly original and even in some respects thought-provoking. At the end of the movie one is left with the impression that we are all monsters to some degree, and that what makes us human is not our flesh and blood, but our compassion. Definitely not Joss Whedon's best writing, but worth watching ... Read More Rating:  - Alien ResurrectionRead Matthew Farrell's review to truly be illuminated about this movies shortcomings. I only bought this movie so I now have all the Alien/Predator movies. The fact I bought it last after the last "Alien vs Predator - Requiem" doesn't mean it is worse. This movie has one thing going for it, Sigourney Weaver. If it wasn't for her acting this movie would have no draw at all. Mediocre story, mundane acting from the rest the cast, and less than inspiring sets, effects, and music makes it one to slip into the ... Read More Rating: - A weak film with few shocksThis is a very formulaic movie that has a few enjoyable parts but overall is a letdown to the series. It's a film that gets very silly very quickly and doesn't have the class of the first two by a long shot. Rating:  - Alien terminationAlien and Aliens were sci-fi classics that can still be enjoyed till this day. Alien 3 was very flawed but it still had its moments. Alien Resurrection is a joke and shouldnt even be mentioned as a part of the Alien trilogy. Plot: Mad scientists clone Ripley to get the alien that was inside of her from the previous episode on the maximum security prison. Later on Ripley stumbles upon a sick experiment to breed aliens with humans. Opinion: At least Alien 3 had a chance to be great. ... Read More Rating:  - SOLID ACTION PACKED INSTALLMENT! RESURRECTION?... THIS SERIES NEVER NEEDED IT! 3 1/2 STARS!Action packed forth installment is actually very good! We get to see more aliens than ever in this fun and fast paced finale(so far??). While the first and third 'Alien' movies were deliberately slow, building tension along the way. This film feels more like 'Aliens' (part 2) with lots of action and fast paced fun! I didn't remember liking this film as much the first time I saw it, but it seems to have grown on me. While we could all argue that this franchise could have stopped after the first film.....or ...
