                          ALIEN: RESURRECTION
                     A film review by Steve Rhodes
                      Copyright 1997 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****):  ** 1/2

"My mommy always said there are no monsters, no real ones, but there are," Ellen Ripley tells the audience in the opening to ALIEN: RESURRECTION, the latest installment in the ALIEN saga.

ALIEN and ALIENS are the two of the scariest movies ever made. Most horror films are horrible with the emphasis on the grossness rather than the fright. ALIEN and ALIENS, on the other hand, are smartly written science fiction exercises in terror. After the disastrous and depressingly bleak ALIEN 3 and after the death of the story's lead, it might appear to the casual viewer than the series was over. Au contraire. Movie moguls are fully empowered to revive the dead for the sake of the bottom line.

In ALIEN: RESURRECTION an undercover branch of the United States military takes blood from the place where Ripley died and clones up a new Ripley so they can harvest the alien inside her chest. (One of the best parts of the story is the scene in the laboratory when Ripley comes face to face with large tubes filled with failed attempts at cloning her DNA.)

Sigourney Weaver, who else, appears again as the alien hunter par excellence. This time she smiles a lot with her in-joke that she is now partly alien herself. Imbued with extraterrestrial strength, she fights both man and alien.

Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, whose last film was the imaginative THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN, and writer Joss Whedon from TOY STORY stage ALIEN: RESURRECTION with innovation abounding. Who would have ever thought of having an underwater scene in space? And the way the meanest of the monsters is killed is effective both visually and as part of the storyline.

The writing starts off crisp and mockingly funny. "It's a queen," Ripley explains to the crew of the now inhabited ship. "She'll breed; you'll die." (In another delicious bit of humor, you'll be relieved to know that the Home Shopping Network, this time selling weapons, is still available in the future.)

Joining Ripley is Winona Ryder playing Annalee Call, who is described as a "little girl playing pirates." Annalee wants to wipe out the aliens, but Ripley questions her motives and generally seems to have her own hidden agenda. Once a valiant alien fighter, the new part human and part alien Ripley keeps a mysterious smile on her face throughout most of the picture.

The military scientists violate rule number one of alien capture. Big, ugly alien monsters do not take kindly to confinement. When suitably riled, they can and will break out of any enclosure. Once they are out all hell breaks loose and the show degenerates into the standard man shoots at monster, monster eats man scenario you've seen many times before.

The whole long middle section of the film is repetitious, tiring, and too slow. Only in the last act does the picture finally pick its genre. Being sometimes grotesque but never scary, the movie gives up and decides, correctly, that it can be a very funny space comedy. Although not nearly as humorous or effective as STARSHIP TROOPERS, which never tries to be anything more than a spoof, ALIEN: RESURRECTION did have the audience at the press screening I attended in stitches towards the end. If only the show had made up its mind from the get-go that humor was its salvation, it could have been much better.

So you ask, do they lay the groundwork for an ALIEN 5? Absolutely. You are left knowing where the next episode will be set and where the monster will come from. Any other silly questions?

ALIEN: RESURRECTION runs 1:48 . It is rated R for nudity, profanity, and strong science fiction violence and gore. It would be fine for teenagers with strong stomachs.


Have I Seen This Movie: Yes
And What Did I Think?: Alien Resurrection is the 4th movie in the Alien series and is a much better entry then the dismal Alien 3. The story is smart and unique, they found a way to bring Ellen Ripley back after she was killed in the last movie. Like the other alien movies, there is plenty of action and gore here. Unlike the last movie, Sigourney Weaver has some good costars such as Winona Ryder, Ron Perlman and Dan Hedaya who provides a little comic relief but gets killed too soon into the movie. Sigourney Weaver plays a much different Ripley here since she is a clone. She's a lot more tougher, colder and takes no nonsense. I liked her portryal in the second Alien movie best, and while this isn't bad, its just different. One part the movie could have done without is the romantic interlude Ripley had with the alien, just plain silly. The final alien wasn't very scary either, and made you want to feel sympathy for it. I much prefer the Queen Alien in the second movie. The movie left room for a sequel, perhaps aliens running loose on Earth. If Alien 3 was the last movie you saw, you should check this one out because it somehow makes up for it. While not as good as the first two, Resurrection isn't that bad. It's worth renting or catching on cable for sure.

I give Alien Resurrection 3.5 out of 5 stars
