Alien: Resurrection Ratings & Reviews
- Dave BarnesMarch 5, 2025Not as good as the original by a long way. Too many simple tropes being played out badly. Not as bad as Alien 3 though.
- Jeff WebbJuly 12, 2025It’s the worst of the original 4, and 3 is pretty trash.
- Vincent ReggianniniMay 24, 2025In the theater, no one can hear you snore.
- BreakfastAtNoonMay 3, 2025It feels more like a fan film off YouTube that was able to swindle the main star into been in it. Enjoyable popcorn horror, nothing else.
- AjayApril 30, 2025While quite outlandish in certain areas, Resurrection feels like a unique Alien film not because of the premise, but rather because of the themes it chooses to explore this time around. The incredibly disturbing thought of Xenomorph gestation within humans (a-la Facehuggers) is pushed to a new level, and the resulting output is something gruesome I couldn't have imagined myself. Resurrection asks and delivers on some harrowing concepts that make us question how much we really know, and bumps up the stakes to be more than just survival.
- gooserexApril 11, 2025The one that shouldn't have happened.
- Steve TrezzaApril 11, 2025Had its moments but overall a disappointment
- Tubeman72April 3, 2025Ripley back? Cool, of course, but wasn't she pretty much done for at the end of 'Alien 3'? Apparently, 'The Company' managed to find a tiny piece of Sigourney Weaver's most famous character. Enough to not only clone Ripley herself but also what the scientists were after: an Alien queen. After 'Jurassic Park', it seems that movie audiences are willing to believe anything when it comes to cloning. In 1979, it was remarkable to see a woman heroically dealing with a malevolent creature. It still is, but the 'Alien' series is increasingly embracing girl power. Alongside the strong woman Sigourney Weaver, we also meet Winona Ryder's character, Annalee Call, who becomes bolder as the film progresses. This is similar to how Ripley acted in the first film. In 'Alien: Resurrection', she has transformed into a completely different person, largely due to the Alien DNA flowing through her veins. The moral of the film seems to be that only women with something special are strong enough to take on Aliens; men simply can't handle it. Each Alien film takes place in a different setting with a constantly changing cast (except for Weaver). This time, there are many different characters, each getting their own introduction, almost like in a disaster film from the '70s. Instead of a capsized boat or a burning skyscraper, hungry Aliens threaten this group of people we quickly get to know but also forget just as fast. Just as in 'Star Trek', where even-numbered instalments are considered good, a rhythm is developing in the Alien series. In parts 1 and 3, there was only one Alien, while parts 2 and 4 are packed with those creatures. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference regarding which parts you enjoy more: suspense horror or action thrillers.
- Brad.Plex.October 13, 2024Though Alien Resurrection is a very flawed film, it's a marked improvement over the last installment. Plenty of cheesy dialogue and ham-fisted performances throughout though it's possible to have some fun with the 4th entry.
