Alien Resurrection (1997) Movie Review

Alien Resurrection (1997) Review

Well, I always liked to compare the "Terminator" franchise with the "Alien" franchise. There are kinda similar. The first two movies are great, with the second one surpassing the original and another two sequels that are lower in quality. With "Salvation" being the worst in the "Terminator" franchise, this one is the worst of the "Alien" franchise. I don't know who said that "Resurrection rocks" but I'm glad he did. So I could change it into "Resurrection sucks". I mean, you don't put a french director, who's resume is chock full of romantic and soft french movies, and combined that style with a script written by Joss Whedon. They don't blend very well. Like the third one, this one tries also to recapture the style of the previous two movies and they succeed on a much lower level. Yeah, the suspense is still there, there are some scenes that are tense but the movie is so bland and so emotionless that it's difficult to watch it. It's cringe worthy. Some of the script is a bit nonsensical and I can't believe that Joss Whedon wrote it. Visually sucks, the action is not good, boring at times, the script is half bad, the acting is fairly decent and the movie is a bit weird, a bit bizarre. And that actually helps it, a bit. There is no denying  that this one is the weakest of the series. 5.5/10

OK guys, those are the reviews for today. Tomorrow it's "Prometheus" time. Until then, take care and keep on reviewing!
