Story:
200 years after the conclusion of Alien 3, the company is able to resurrect Ripley through the process of cloning and the scientists successfully take the Queen Alien out of her. But, Ripley’s DNA gets mixed up with the Queen’s and she begins to develop certain alien characteristics. The scientists begin breeding the aliens, but they later escape. Soon the Xeno-morphs are running amok on the ship, which is on course to earth. The Queen then gives birth to a deadly new breed of alien, which could spell disaster for the entire human race. It’s up to Ripley and a band of space pirates to stop the ship before it reaches earth.
Review:
The movie is a bit too cartoonish for my taste. But nevertheless its enjoyable. There are many factual errors in the movie: In the end when Ripley throws her blood at the glass in the space ship, the hole is too small to cause a suction effect.
The story is written by Joss Whedon, but not all of it is used. The acting was good too.
Final Verdict:
An enjoyable movie. 6.5/10..
My review for the other Alien movies: Alien, Aliens & Alien 3
My great-great grandmother is a clone of the real Ellen Ripley. She’s 86 now and lives in a nursing home, outliving all other clones. She doesn’t like the Alien films because they depict all aliens in such a negative light. Most of us are normal!
