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!

That scene with the spider got a good chuckle out of the audience I was part of when I saw Resurrection.

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.

I more or less liked this movie up until the idiotic newborn creature. That ruined the entire movie for me.

Another groaner: hundreds of years before Resurrection took place, they could make artificial people. Why in the hell doesn't that wheelchair guy have artificial legs?!?
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...

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
