Amazon.co.uk Review
Perhaps these films are like the Star Trek movies: the even-numbered episodes are the best ones. Certainly Alien Resurrection film (directed by French stylist Jean-Pierre Jeunet) is an improvement on 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

Alien: Resurrection, the fourth entry in the franchise, is directed by French stylist Jean-Pierre Jeunet in a much more straightforward action-adventure manner than its predecessor, the dark and confusing Alien 3. 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 melon heads 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, Amazon.com

On the DVD: Unlike the first Alien movie which has an excellent documentary and director's commentary, this DVD is light on extras (although digital picture and sound quality are excellent) with only a perfunctory "making of" featurette.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   7 of 9 people found the following review helpful: 4th, and hopefully, final, 5 Jan 2003 By  Stewart Welsh (London, England) - See all my reviews    If Alien 3 had mixed feelings, they had all but disappeared when this movie was released. It's a shame some people think badly of this film, because I feel it has some great twists which are very clever, if not always well produced. The basic plot of cloning from DNA is very believable in today's world and justifiably scary and the scenes of the mis- cloning results makes me fear for the real world. The idea of part of the Aliens' DNA being left inside Ripley adds an uncertainty to her behaviour, which is well recieved, and, for me, gives an extra edge to her previous, fruitless, attempts to destroy the creatures. The dual personality she portrays is often unsettling. Although the idea of the "Newborn" was clever and moved the premise forward, I feel it was badly executed and the actual Alien seemed rather poorly thought out and just a little like something from the muppets!!! I love all the films in the saga for the films they are and I try not to compare each with the other. This is a good film and, like Aliens & Alien 3,is different from it's predecessor. If this were not an Alien film, most people who critisize it would love it. Of course, since the release of AvP, many people have come over to this film, having realised it's NOT that bad!!!! At least this film makes some kind of sense, which is more than can be said for AvP.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (
