: Alien Resurrection
After seeing Prometheus I was curious about this third movie in the franchise. I saw it long ago and didn’t think it was great, but like many I think I was comparing it too closely to the originals.
It is different, but seeing it now I was surprised and how well it holds up. It’s a little overdone — everything’s over-the-top, from the wacky characters to the zigzag plot, and it never quite delivers on anything — but it does have some great moments, plenty of dramatic tension, and some excellent action. I never knew the script was by Joss Wedon, of Buffy fame, which is fascinating. I was only going to watch a few minutes to check it out and got hooked and watched the whole thing, so that ought to be the bottom line.
