Synopsis: A mission to a distant planet hope to uncover the secret to humanity and life itself.
The Good: The Alien movies seem to hold on while the Predator films slowly deteriorate. It’s got a basic story but it’s good enough. Plenty of stereotypes and the usual problems this franchise runs into but it’s at least entertaining.
The Bad: Rampant sexist remarks and poorly drawn characters. Science stretched to the edge of believability. It’s more of a rehash with a subplot added in.
Best Line: You know, if you wanna get laid, you really don’t have to pretend to be interested in the pyramid scan. I mean, you could just say, “Hey, I’m trying to get laid.” Heh.
Fun Fact: The androids’ names in the Alien films follow an alphabetical pattern: in Alien (1979) it’s Ash, in Aliens (1986) and Alien³ (1992) it’s Bishop, in Alien Resurrection (1997) it’s Call and in this film it’s David.
Verdict:
Technical: 7.7
Entertainment Value: 7.4
Genre Rating: 7.5
IMDb Score: 7
Total: 7.6
