Editorial Reviews and DVD Information about Alien - Resurrection (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

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.

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

Customer Reviews for Alien - Resurrection (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

Alien termination
Alien 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. This movie was dead once the plot unfolded within the first ten minutes. Sigourney Weaver telegraphs her performance in, and the rest of the cast does the same. Wynonna Ryder unconvicingly plays an android that was sent on the ship to protect the gung-ho crew aboard and supposedly destroy Ripley. The special efforts are the only thing this movie has going for it. Whereas Alein and Aleins had more of a story plus great special effects and chills going for it. Alien Resurrection plays like one of those campy B-movies of the 80s. Mindless action sequences, asinine plots and plotholes, corny one-liners and leaps in logic. Why would anyone clone someone to get an alien? The last 20 minutes with the alien/human spawn with an attachment to Ripley comes off a pathetic attempt to tug at the heartstrings with all the subtleties of a sledgehammer. Its safe to say that Alien 3 was the last of the series.Alien - Resurrection (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

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 maybe part 2. I feel that the last two enries did have something to say and there was a lot of thought care in these projects. These are not paint by numbers sequels. Much better than almost any other series that gets into these kind of numbers! How many part 3 or 4 films can you name that are any good at all? If you love the first film, maybe you should give the sequels another chance and a little lee-way. I found the three sequels all fairly intelligent and entertaining.

Alien - Resurrection (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

INEXCUSABLY BAD!!!
As if A3 was a big enough slap to the fans faces.
This monstrosity just drives salt in the wound.
I heard when they were making this they were going to make A3 just a dream sequence and bring back the cast from part 2.
Obviously they decided to go in a different direction.
Pity, they went in the WRONG direction.
The worst of the bunch.
Horrid story, horrid acting, overly gross out scenes.
Start, hated it.
Middle, hated it more.
End, THANK GOD!!!
I hope the series is DONE!
Stop trashing the good name of the first two just to make a more money.Alien - Resurrection (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

Good scare
Okay, again I don't own this movie, but I have seen it.
It was scary, but not as good as the first one.
Lots of blood, and gory scenesAlien - Resurrection (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

Good,but not great.
I liked this film better than part3. The ripley character is given a bit of depth by her being part alien. I thought the cast was pretty well picked also. The movie could have used a bit more action and the end is pretty weak to me. The whole alien,human hybrid should have been done with ripley. Them adding an alien who is part human is misplaced and gets in the way of more action. good film,but not as good as aliens.Alien - Resurrection (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
