MemberOvomorphMar-27-2012 7:14 AMI am of course talking about Alien Ressurection. Now when normally the public agrees a movie sucks, I tend to agree with them also. But I never understood the hate for Alien 4. I'll give you the reasons why I like it first
-grotesque and artistic cinematography...there is something truly creepy about that intro and all the horrible fetuses etc..watching this movie makes me wanna puke...that's a good thing...it is definitely more visually interesting than aliens or alien3 i think...alien wins because of the derelict
-the newborn..pretty good idea I thought..ripley takes some alien dna, and the queen receives some human dna..pretty good sci-fi writing on a Michael Crichton level
-The crew are cool...yup, they manage to reinstall that feeling from Alien, when they make you give a shit about the crew...no scarf wearers (Im looking at you Prometheus)...Michael Wincott dies far too early though, he is too cool a character to kill off so early...I also love Ron Perlman and Winona...cool cast
Now the things I don't like:
-They show too much of the Alien...to be honest tho, after Aliens we pretty much saw everything anyway
-I hate that space marine guy that ends up tagging along.. jarhead moron..the rest of the military is also too comical and not serious enough..Aliens had a good balance of comedy and realism with their military
-the CGI Alien...looked terrible...CGI=not scary
Anyway would like to hear reasons why you like Alien Ressurection

It's a sick, stumbling abomination that shares nothing of the sleek horror handed down to us by H.R.Giger. I really don't know what they were thinking when the film makers went down that route.
The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent

MemberOvomorphJul-03-2013 11:16 AMI really like this movie, but in a detached, non-commited sort of way.
IMO it is a deranged, nearly satirical epilogue to the franchise.
What makes it worthwhile is Jeunet's visuals and the sheer lunacy of the whole thing. It's a completely aesthetic pleasure for me and a thrilling opus overall.
But I will never take it seriously, not as canon.
