Title: Alien Ressurection: What a harsh review! Post by: Ash on October 07, 2002, 01:59:37 AM Wow! What a harsh review! I actually like this film. I ignored all of the holes in it and just took it for what it was which in my opinion is pure mindless fun. My favorite scene in the whole thing was when Ron Pearlman climbs to the top of the ladder and is startled by the spider in it's web, yells out loud and then blasts it with his gun! That was classic!

Unfortunately, those little touches were absent from the rest of the film. Alien: Resurrection is overly arty and ploddingly directed. Then there are the groaners like the breath-sniffing door locks and the "breath in a can" that Cal uses to open them. Where the heck did she get Dan Hedaya's breath in a can? Is there a black market for that kind of stuff? Unlike the reviewer, I blame Jean-Pierre Junet for why I didn't like the movie. The direction didn't create much of a horror mood, or action mood, or any kind of mood. His directed the movie as if saying, "Hey! Look at this! Ain't it cool?" No, Jean-Pierre, most of the time it wasn't. Title: Re: Alien Ressurection: What a harsh review!

I'm also annoyed at how it takes place hundreds of years after the first ones, yet doesn't seem like it (with simlilar cultures and machines to the first). It's like people in the 90's with 1500's culture and technology... |
