Viewing Notes

Two hundred years after Lt. Ripley died, a group of scientists clone her, hoping to breed the ultimate weapon. But the new Ripley is full of surprises … as are the new aliens. Ripley must team with a band of smugglers to keep the creatures from reaching Earth. Despite not being a fan favorite, I actually do like this one. It has the unfortunate luck of paring a director that didn’t match the script and a studio willing to muck about with it all again because they didn’t learn their lesson the last time.  I like that they got inventive in bringing Ripley back. I like most of the characters and actors in this. The pacing and events in the third act are a little off and I really don’t like the ‘newborn’ design or the aliens when they go full cg with them. Still better than the alien with the green screen issues in Alien 3 however.
