It brings a mordant, crackerjack wit to the world of chest-busting, head-ripping creepazoids from beyond.

It satisfactorily recycles the great surprises that made the first movie so powerful. And most significantly, it makes a big hoot of the whole business.

If you need to read a review to decide if you want to see "Alien Resurrection," you absolutely shouldn't be going.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

This film should be an amazing thrill ride, but it has the emotional impact of a bowling ball at rest.
Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle

So campy that it almost plays like a sendup of the series. It is to 'Alien' what 'The Bride of Frankenstein' was to other 1930s Frankenstein movies, and it even shares some of the same themes.
