Alien Resurrection is not as bad as people make it out to be. This as an Alien film still holds a big amount of entertainment value. Especially if you compare it too the dark, grungy and slow pacing of Alien 3. People are bitching to bitch..utterly plain and simple. No if's, and's or but's on that one.
The Newborn still creeps me out when I look at it. "Stupid"? Are you kidding me. Its scarying looking. Who thought that it was stupid? I wouldn't want that thing chasing me. "I don't need to run..it looks too stupid." THE THING IS TRYING TO KILL YOU. Ain't that a little scary enough? When it crushes Distephano's head in the film and teeters his brains in between its fingers.
Why is this still a mixed bag of a movie for people after all these years?
idk, I loved it personally. The newborn was meant to be both human baby and vicious alien, americans cant into body horror
Samuel Anderson
it was great until the ending
Luke Lopez
It's pretty fun to watch with friends, I always chuckled at that military dude with the bizarre eyes.

Let me guess:
>PROMETHEUS SUCKS SO HARD BECAUSE ROLL SIDEWAY ROFL LELEL xD xD >ALIEN RESURRECTION SO GOOD THO >ENDING SCENE BEST SCENE IN FRANCHISE >WYNONYA WAIFU >ALIENS 2 SUCKS DONKEY BALLS
Mason Rodriguez
It was like Alien with Tim Burton shit
Gabriel Hill
As a standalone movie, I think it's great, a very well directed movie with a great cast.
Isaiah Carter
it just wasnt scary.
not one fucking bit.
People like to call Aliens an action-movie but it had a lot of tense, horrifying scenes, from the first time they explore the outpost to the quieter moments when they try to seal themselves off only to find that they cant secure the perimeter to the finale where Ripley has to enter the aliens nest all by herself.
Resurrection had zero scenes like that. The aliens felt a lot less threatening too, i mean there is a scene where one is standing in a hallway and the entire crew is debating about what it is while it just stands there and finally gets killed by Ripley.
fucking horrible.
Elijah Mitchell
One day aliens are going to discover us and this kind of shitposting might be the first thing they witness. Please be considerate of the ayy lmaos and mankind's future by refraining from this in the future.
Alexander Brown
>a scene where one is standing in a hallway and the entire crew is debating about what it is while it just stands there and finally gets killed by Ripley. did this happen? havent seen it since it came out that sounds terrible
Colton Lee
>wheelchair guy with ridiculous mecha rig whellchair
>Ron Perlman as generic comicbook goon mercenary
tryhard character shit made it bad
Jackson Lopez
Its an OK movie, the problem is it has outlandish characters and silly shit in a movie series that was previously very grounded, the wildest shit you got is the marines in the second one (which I would also argue is slightly out of place, but not nearly as much as resurrection's characters)
Just compare the doctor in 3 or anyone in the first movie to anyone in Resurrection, and you will see the problem.
Its not that the movie is bad, its that the movie doesnt fit.
Ian Wilson
Maybe you should watch the film before judging it after not seeing for 19 YEARS!
Connor Myers
Hes saying if the scene exists it sounds terrible, he didnt say shit about the rest of the movie
Its weirdness accentuated how far in the future it takes place.
Thomas Cruz
Aliens: Quipurrection
Cameron Lee
KILL ME... K-KILL... ME...
David Bennett
that scene legit freaked me out as a kid
Hunter Diaz
>alien 1 is far in the future, nobody acts weird >aliens is 57 years after that, nobody acts weird >alien 3 happens some time after that nobody acts weird >alien resurrection happens 202 years later suddenly everyone is le quirky weird guy completely defined by their retarded quirks
Its Joss Whedon writing it that did it, it had nothing to do with some stylistic choice.
Daniel Cruz
>Its Joss Whedon writing it that did it Actually Joss Whedon said himself that the directing was awful. Literally every single line was read wrong.
Jaxon Perry
alien resurrection was made in the wrong place and the wrong time. it came out when CGI was starting to get a lot more advanced and was competition g with shit like the matrix. if it was made 5 years earlier, or 5 years later I think it could have been a truly great movie.
Jace Allen
Yeah I'm sure Halle Barry misread her quip to Toad that he wrote in the first Xmen movie too.
Jordan Miller
>it's funny, you're saying it wrong!
Also Whedon commenting on someones directing. LOL
Eli Richardson
I liked it as far as fun goes, ripley turned into a stone-cold badass which I didn't like and the whole thing felt more like a comic than a movie.
I thought the "hybrid" towards the end was a tremendous villain though - shit it didn't go anywhere.
Levi Cruz
>>WYNONYA WAIFU
sweet jesus yes.
Robert Campbell
It like an Alien Comic made into a movie. It's not too bad, but definitely the worse than the Trilogy. Bringing Weaver felt like a really stupid idea.
It's ok to watch it once, but I would never watch it again.
Charles Wilson
>Actually Joss Whedon said himself that the directing was awful Joss Whedon can go fuck himself, the direction was fine, his buffy the slyer and angel the retarded vampire style writing was the only thing bad in that movie.
Leo Ward
Every female android I've seen has been waifu tier. >tfw you will never have one
Ian Rivera
>Joss Whedon writes the movie >it sounds like every other movie ever written by him >it was the direction it wasn't whedon's fault!!! Nigga please. I dont even hate the guy like some Sup Forums cunts, but the movie just drips Whedon, I didnt even know he wrote it until I commented on how much it sounded like the new Star Trek/Avengers/etc and someone told me he wrote it
Eli Foster
I'm just tired of Ripley.
Anthony Rivera
It's basically proto-firefly. You can tell it was an idea he had and he wrapped Alien stuff around it.
Elijah Jones
to me it was nightmare fuel for weeks, granted I watched it at night, depressed and not very sober
Brody Murphy
Am I the only one ITT that thinks Alien 3 was great? I really don't understand any of the complaints about it.
Gabriel Roberts
This. After watching Firefly and then finding out that he wrote Resurrection later, and rewarching it, the merc crew come off as a proto-Serenity.
Brody Reyes
I recently rewatched Resurrection.
Everything about the movie screams shitty, Sci-Fi channel original movie, from the crappy, campy characters, to the shitty looking title text, to the premise itself.
Everything about that movie was off.
I mean, I didn't really like Alien 3 either, but that movie is a masterpiece compared to Resurrection.
Thomas Allen
...
Owen Thomas
Nothing wrong with a more light hearted, action oriented alien film.
Brandon Harris
>Alien Resurrection is not as bad as people make it out to be.
It is entertaining, but it is a stupid movie and doesn't compare to Alien or Aliens in an artistic sense even a little bit. It's pure schlock.
Alien 3 is just kind of bland and depressing and a let down, but at least Alien 3 isn't stupid.
Now that said, I don't hate Resurrection. It is fun to watch, but I don't consider it a true sequel to Aliens.
Hudson Watson
I like that scene with the foot massage.
Would love to rub that latina' s feet
Jonathan Hall
Yes, more please...
Kayden Morris
>tfw rubbing her hot sweaty feet and listening to her moan and burying your nose between her toes
Aiden Collins
Yes. >I really don't understand any of the complaints about it That's because you're a pleb.
Benjamin Cox
Im just glad Blomkamp's Alien film will retcon 3 and Resurrection
Isaac Diaz
It's probably going to suck anyway.
William Edwards
if it ever comes out
Cooper Bailey
Nah, I have hopes and Sigourney and Michael seem to like it
It'll enter production after Alien: Covenant comes out, Ridley Scott is gonna be producer
Leo Scott
Alien 3 was a great end to Ripley's story though
Bentley Carter
Alien 3 was a mediocre film ruined during production. And thought it was a good idea to kill characters off-screen in the opening
Mason Baker
>I have hopes for a flopkamp movie eyyy lmao
Joseph Flores
>Nah, I have hopes and Sigourney and Michael seem to like it
I hope too, but it's probably going to suck anyway.
Signourney agreed to do 3 and Resurrection, after all.
Josiah Diaz
>killing boring deadweight characters is a bad idea
James, please. No one cares about your power mommy bullshit.
Lucas Harris
Ripley's story ended in Aliens. There was really no need for her to appear in another film at that point. Hell, it wasn't strictly necessary for her to be in a sequel to Alien either, but Aliens at least directly dealt with her trauma from the first film and felt like a very organic story to realistically develop in response to the events of that film.
Alien 3 though is just a bad end coming out of nowhere to topple it all down at the last minute.
The only thing I like about 3, oddly enough, IS that dark depressing feeling it gives you. It does thematically work as an extension of Alien and its cold, uncaring universe. Aliens was much more optimistic.
None the less, it's a bland film with forgettable mostly unrelatable characters.
Lincoln Cooper
She only did 3 because she wanted Ripley to be killed off because she was worried that they were running out of ways to further the character. Resurrection she did because Whedon's script impressed her and she was interested by the concept of Ripley becoming a hybrid.
(You)
Brayden Williams
>She did Resurrection because they drove a dump truck full of cash to her house ftfy
