I just recently re-watched Alien Resurrection and it ran better than when I 1st watched it... I thought it was doing pretty well until really 'that' bizarre Alien hybrid design. Ultimately I think this did ruin it for me. Well that and Ryder's dreadful acting. I thought it had some great Sci-fi moments, the Aliens under medical observation was superb, the Ripley/Alien blend and the observation on cloning was a wonderful gaze at the ethics of the procedure. Ron Perlman was brilliant and the underwater chase was new and fresh for the Alien series.
It was also, as a Whedon fan, very interesting observing the characters of the Betty and just what he was creating with the interaction of the characters.
Any thoughts all these years later?

I saw it at Grauman's Chinese, and the cinematography, especially during the first half, just took my breath away!

Yeah it is pretty stunning isn't it. The camera work is exceptional. No I must admit it really has gone up in my estimation.
Shame the creature works let it down.

That was the kicker for me too, hated the alien hybrid.
Not a big Winnona Ryder fan either.
Has anyone ever seen Ron Pearlman and Adam Baldwin in the same room??
I'm just askin'...

I always thought it was pretty good, well, as good as a sequel to the crappy third one could have been.............
But the CGI aliens bugged me- still, way better than AVP.
Chrisisall, on the Betty

Well, when you see a movie at Grauman's Chinese, EVERYTHING's impressive!
I saw all three Matrix movies there (opening day crowds), and loved 'em all!

hey maybe the next pairing for a buddy film... Only with lots of back stabbing and less than heroic deeds.

CGI always bugs me. King Kong for example. Am I to gather 'C' that you didn't enjoy the third instalment of the Aliens series ? Flawed as it was I thought the premise was very interesting.

Sadly, no.
Ticket prices being what they are, I mostly wait for movies to hit the 'Under $10' bin at the used DVD store these days.
But here's some info on the place.
