Although it's not my favourite one of the franchise, it's a lot better than most of the stick it gets would suggest. I'd go as far as saying it's a great film, right up to just before Ripley has sex with one of the aliens and they give birth to the droopy-eyed-white-skull-face-beast. Until that point the film has fantastic props and sets, hard-bitten space pirates, a truly horrifying scene in the clone lab, aliens cold-heartedly sacrificing their weakest hive-brother for the acid blood, an underwater chase scene, and Ripley's excellent basketball skills. And it's no surprise. As well as a fantastic cast, the film has half of Jeunet et Caro (City of Lost Children) behind it, with script duties provided by Joss Whedon and some of the concept art done by Chris Cunningham (again working as Chris Halls - see my Dredd Wars article). In fact even after the film's lowest point with the human/alien hybrid, we get Ripley finally crashing back on Earth, several hundred years after the first Aliens were discovered. Imagine where that would have taken us had the franchise continued.Tod Tenebrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16278319648574876510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558144944835628364.post-77734646888838400672015-11-06T09:47:33.409+00:002015-11-06T09:47:33.409+00:00Thanks for that Curtis.
