Alien Resurrection

Pros: Sigourney Weaver is still Ripley, Action
Cons: Everything else

Alien Resurrection (1997) Alien Resurrection is both good and original. But the part that is good is not original and the part that is original is not good - with apologies to Samuel Johnson or whoever said it ...

Pros: Sigourney Weaver's performance; some intriguing bits
Cons: Not enough intriguing bits; some very bizarre ones.

One of the traits of The Alien Quadrilogy - the improvised franchise which started 30 years ago when 20th Century Fox released Ridley Scott's Alien - is that the movies get weirder as the "series" progresses.Had the studio left well ...

Pros:   Entertaining, good pacing, good character development, great lines.
Cons:   Just has some weird twists.

  This is the fourth movie, the fourth time we see aliens, and the fourth time we see Ripley involved in the fun. And it sets us up for a fifth movie, one that probably will never see the light of day. Come on producer Weaver, I want to see the ...

Pros: Few. One good action scene.
Cons: Many.

There comes a point in every man's life ( and, not to discriminate here, every womans, aliens and half-breed christ-knows-what-it-is mutant thingy ) when you realize that nothing is sacred. Got a favourite song? It'll be used on a car ad or soft drinks ...

Pros: Nifty revival of a cool franchise. Weaver and Ryder are cool. Good cast. Excellent FX.
Cons: French/European style takes some getting used to.

Well, at the end of the problematic " Alien3" you thought it was all over. I mean it ended with the central character, Lt. Ellen Ripley taking a back-dive into a red-hot furnace, taking the last known example of the ...

Pros: New/Creepy Alien Design
Cons: Lost a lot from book to film
No real action
Poor Writing

Similar to Alien 3, which killed Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) at the end, Alien: Resurrection (A:R) takes a turn for the worse. The story starts with the genetic reconstruction of Elenor Ripley. Apparently, they managed to find Ripley's DNA among the ...

Pros: Uh, Sigourney Weaver...and maybe one or two scenes.
Cons: Ohhh, man, don't make me say it...everything else.

She's back.

The acid-blooded, merciless destroyer that fills the dreams of men with terror has returned, bent on her singleminded goal of universal extermination.

And I don't mean the Alien Queen.

Well, actually, she...

Pros: Easy on the brain, delightful for the eyes.
Cons: Not an original idea to be found anywhere.

If there's anything I learned about the "Alien" series, it's the fact it epitomizes the term "The more things change, the more they stay the same." Each film has a unique direction to it, yet the stories and individual elements are basically the same. ...

Pros: Great action, good strong actors
Cons: none

This movie was one of the best I've ever seen. It's full of action suspense, and even a little comedy (if you have a sick sense of humor!). Sigourney Weaver, "Ripley", being the main character, really comes out strong with this plot. Her...

Pros: Acting
Cons: Latex, Special Effects, Inconsistent Plot, Characters

Ellen Ripley, the protagonist of the Alien Trilogy has an excellent character arc. Yes, I will stand up and say that if you take a night and watch "Alien," "Aliens," and "Alien 3" in a row, you'll come out saying there's an impressive character and a ...

Pros: Great thrills and action; Sigourney Weaver in top form.
Cons: A weak story.

1992's Alien3 marked not only the death (by suicide) of its popular protagonist, Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), but, in many ways, the Alien franchise itself--box office receipts were anemic, thanks to poor audience word of mouth; and the...

Pros: Great Special Effects
Cons: Story Line Getting Kinda Old

This is the twenty second movie I have rated in my quest to rate all the movies I have seen. Go to my profile and read them all.

200 years after the conclusion of Alien 3, the company is able to resurrect Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) through the...

Cons: Tediously gory & dumb storyline.

Starring:Sigourney Weaver(Galaxy Quest),Wynona Ryder(Girl,Interrupted)

Genres:Sci-fi,Horror

Rated R:For Graphic Violence,some language,mild sensuality

Summary:Basically its your basic "don't mess with dangerous monstrous...

Pros: Occasional Flash boy gun play may please some...
Cons: Almost everything... see review...

Oh deary me is this what it's come to? What Ridely Scott started way back in 1979 has finally come down to this directionless mess of a film.

The signs were already there, Alien 3 tried but failed to recreate the claustaphobic atmosphere of...

Pros: EFX
Cons: Everything else

What can I say about this movie? Horrible director, HORRIBLE EVERYTHING. The only thing that really shines about this movie is the incredible special efx scenes which must have costed millions to produce and direct..If only they made that much...
