Alien: Resurrection Ratings & Reviews
- Brad.Plex.13 oktober 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.
- naren shenoy7 dgn geledenI’m not sure if this is a different version from the original, but I seem to remember some slight variations in the final scenes leading to the climactic ending. This version was better, however, still massively flawed. The special effects were better than its predecessor, Alien 3, as there were more use of practical effects. The action was decent enough, and somewhere in here there was a cool idea about cross hybrid humans and xenomorphs. But there was soooo much camp that just did not land and is quite the opposite of the original 2 (maybe even 3) Alien movies. Maybe it was ahead of its time, considering it was a much more successful formula for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the MCU.
- Jeff Webb12 juli 2025It’s the worst of the original 4, and 3 is pretty trash.
- Tubeman723 april 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.
- Otacon!24 februari 2026The bad brother? The black sheep? Maybe. First fact, it is not the best from the franchise. Same as the third, this movie had many problems with the freedom of creation and script rewrite. But is not terrible. The best part of the movie IS the cast and their characters. The performance and characters story and personality gives two stars to the movie. I can easily remember some funny expression, some phrase or joke, some situation and evolution caused by characters. They are good for sure. And here comes the "not so good" part: take away the cast and theirs characters, the story is poor and full of wtf moments. But not good ones. They had used SO much CGI that the first thing that jumps in my mind are the Xeno foot and the Xeno swimmers that clips over a wall. But ok. I will watch it again, I know that for sure, when I will make the Alien/Predator marathon. I will enjoy the cast, the jokes, but not the only part that will start the marathon. The desire to see our beloved Xenos
- Dave Barnes5 maart 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.
- Paul Walsh13 februari 2026A fairly schlocky Alien franchise addition. It's nothing special but still better than most serie's fourth outings.
- logangjerde17 augustus 2025Its a lot of fun and worth the warch!
- Subash Ramone10 augustus 2025Rewatched this again and it is still the worst movie of the Alien franchise. The only good thing in this movie was watching Brad Dourif be weird.
- Frank Azzopardi6 februari 2026This was a crap movie. Disappointed -Marcus 😔
- BreakfastAtNoon3 mei 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.
- Callum19 december 2025⭐⭐⭐½ – Alien: Resurrection — Stylish, Uneven, but Still Alive Alien: Resurrection is a worthy attempt to breathe new life into the franchise, even if it stumbles while doing so. There’s a strong cast here and a clear desire to take the series somewhere slightly different, but it doesn’t always manage to uphold the tone and discipline that made the earlier films so iconic. The film feels colder and more overtly stylised than its predecessors — darker in a comic-book sense rather than a purely atmospheric one. That shift won’t work for everyone, but it does create a sufficiently nightmarish mood, full of grotesque imagery and high-powered action. It’s proof that, even this far in, there was still some life left in the old franchise. Once again, Sigourney Weaver is the anchor. Her presence grounds the film, even as the story veers into stranger, more indulgent territory. The themes of death, rebirth, and redemption continue to circle the series, and while they’re not explored with the same finesse as before, Weaver’s performance goes a long way toward selling them. That said, the film misses the mark in places. Some tonal choices feel at odds with what Alien had traditionally been, and a few ideas are more interesting on paper than in execution. It’s entertaining, but it doesn’t fully recapture the raw tension or elegance of the earlier entries. In the end, Alien: Resurrection is flawed but far from a failure. Not a classic, not a disaster — just an uneven but watchable chapter that reminds you why this universe was worth returning to at all. 🥃 Pairing: A sharp, slightly experimental cocktail — bold, a little strange, not to everyone’s taste, but intriguing enough to finish anyway.
- Ajay30 april 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.
- Tyler Campbell9 december 2025Honestly my preferred Alien movie of the first 4 (sacrilege) until the w e i r d one comes out. All 4 movies suffer from some mix of issues in pacing, action vs tension, kitsch or camp, dialogue, etc. This one was kitschy and lacked charater development outside of Winona, but at least it was paced well enough for most of it and had some decent horror action.
- gooserex11 april 2025The one that shouldn't have happened.
