Alien: Resurrection (1997)
Country: US
Technical: col 108m
Director: Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Cast: Sigourney Weaver, Ron Perlman, Dominique Pinon, Winona Ryder
Synopsis:
Ripley's DNA is used by scientists to resurrect her, but it is mixed with that of the Alien queen, and a new breed of Aliens is in turn engendered.
Review:
Nonsensical sequel, which in some respects resembles the director's City of Lost Children, half of whose cast he has imported. It resolves itself into a shipboard fight for survival between the creatures and a band of space 'pirates' under the impromptu leadership of Ripley herself, and such is nothing more than a version of the first film, and all those others in which hubristic scientists undertake an experiment that goes predictably wrong. Advances in visual effects give us aliens that swim, in this admittedly goodlooking production.
