not a horrible movie like everyone claims it is, i found it very fun and entertaininng, the whole ripley being cloned isnt a genius idea, but a smart way to bring her back to the series i suppose.
overall a fun, non intellegent horror ride of a science fiction film that doesnt take itself seriously like the first couple did, and those will always be a favorite amungst people, but i did enjoy this

The only reason to watch this film is Sigourney Weaver's performance. I also enjoyed Ron Perlman. Winona Ryder was totally out of place in this movie. Some decent gore. Otherwise, a complete waste of time.
I don't know whether to blame the Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, or Writer Josh Whedon, or 20th Century Fox - or if I should blame all three of them for for letting the ALIEN movie franchise reach this level of crap (please do not get me started on the Newborn - which is so far removed from H.R. Giger's genius it should've never been in this film) ..... the actors; along with the set designs; were the only things to admire - but the graphic R-rating can't save this poor excuse for a movie (shame on everyone involved for releasing this crap)!
"Alien: Resurrection" sounds like a brilliant film before you watch it: from the director of "Amélie" and "The City of Lost Children", from the writer of "Serenity" and "Firefly", starring Ron Perlman, Brad Dourif, and Michael Wincott alongside Sigourney Weaver. However, the film is nowhere near as good as you expect.
I will happily admit, I enjoy the director's cut of "Alien³" and it's not just because I am a huge fan of director David Fincher. However, "Resurrection" messes with everything from the storyline to the creature design and makes a film that is far from glamorous.
Perhaps the best elements of this fourth entry in the franchise is that is contains a rather excessive amount of gore and slime, a well as features some wondrous and imaginative set designs. Jean-Pierre Jeunet does manage to create a very technically beautiful film, but without any heart or mystery behind "Alien: Resurrection" it feels very much like its main character, just a copy of the original.
Make up your own mind, you may not regret seeing A:R, but you may also not enjoy it.
This movie was just an embarrassment to the Alien franchise. It had no scares unlike all the others. It just plain sucked. I was embarrassed to own this movie.
