| Favourite line: | "You're a thing, a construct. They grew you in a fucking lab." |
Disappointing final (hopefully) sequel in the Alien franchise sees Ripley return from the dead.
If you recall, at the end of part 3 she hurled herself into the furnace in order to kill the Queen embryo that was growing inside her.
Well, she's back as a clone on a base where scientists are attemptiong to tame the xenomorph's.
Inevitably, they fail, and it's long long before the screaming starts
. Some nice ideas, and directed by the usually ever-reliable Jeunet, this simply feels weak in comparison to the other three.
Shame.
