Last night I decided to open up the Quadrilogy, which I have watched many times, and watch the one I remember liking and watching the least... Resurrection. The thought that came to my head over and over is how great everything looked, while the characters, writing, directing and general plot, ruined the movie. In particular the dialog is just cheap/bad. In Aliens, the closest comparison, Hicks/Hudson yelling fuck every two seconds works because they are running on adrenaline and scared to death. In Resurrection the only folks who seem genuinely surprised are some of the b-actors. Several aliens get loose and they start evacuating the entire ship?? Why wouldn't they lock down the ship? They didn't even ATTEMPT to get things under control. Ripley kills the alien, jumps up through the hole and says "Is it everything you hoped it would be?" It has no context. The pirates see crazy stuff and are just stone-faced. No 'chitchat', nothing. No reaction. Being a trained mercenary is one thing, but to have NO reaction, just walking through the hallways all cocky... man. The directing is HORRIBLE. Stupid zooms and weird angles. Cuts that are too quick... There are 3 scenes that standout in the film. The first is the scene with the eggs. Waking up strapped into a chair about to be attacked by an alien is absolutely BRUTAL. It is a nightmare beyond belief... no control, something is coming, can't run... Man. We only see ONE guy wakeup, and we don't even see him get attacked by the facehugger. We just see him screaming. It would have been a viceral and very powerful scene to see all of the passengers waking up and screaming as they realize what they are experiencing. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not like Ushbuck/Buckethead wishing for a rape scene in Prometheus, I'm just saying that this scene could have been done right and instead came off pretty weak/tame. Second scene... The 2 aliens attacking the 3rd 'weak' alien, in order to get its blood to eat through the floor to allow for escape. Great plot. Idiot scientists put some aliens together to see what would happen, and then we get chaos. Creative scene, but way too many closeup shots. Can't see anything but blood gushing. Makes the whole scene feel cheap and not scary. Last scene.... Hybrid birth. They were trying way to hard to 'top' previous films. The alien 'womb' looked like it was added at the last minute. It doesn't go with Giger's design and just looks plain bad. The end creature just looks stupid and gross. I remember seeing it in the theater and thinking 'they just dont get it'. Alien 3 I can appreciate in certain ways.. Aliens is a blast. Alien is a suspense-adventure-sci-fi-western and is a work of art. Alien Resurrection just plain sucks. Does anyone actually like this movie? If so, please tell me why.

I did not understand this movie at all! To me it seems like they just ran out of things to do with tje franchise. The swimming scene sucked, and the "psycho alien baby" was so budget I just thought "really? That's what's hot everyone suicidal?" what happened to the good movies?

Dad and I shared a birthday It was his 34th and my 18th this year. Being just 16 years apart made us more like brothers then Father and Son really, and I loved that closeness. My dad is a head turner Adonis, a Tall Blonde powerfully built man who resembles Brad Pitt and I am proud to say I am dad's spitting image. As close as we were, there was one major secret kept between us, Oddly enough it was exactly what Dad did to earn our living? Every day he'd leave the house for work as I left for school, him in one of his many $3,000.00 hand made suits. Get into his custom made 15 foot RV that was his office and exotic lounge all rolled into one. His faithful driver would show up park his own car and drive dad off to whatever was his job. Early and many times over the years dad had been frank with me, I was never to ask exactly what he did for a living, That what he did was totally legal and I'd learn when I was older just what it was. We called this " OUR AGREEMENT " Early in life I was amused by our neighbors and my friends who would defer to my dad and try to pry from me what it was he did do. I knew the deference was due to them thinking my dad some sort of Crime boss that it was wise not to upset him at any cost. Really I kind of liked the idea and enjoyed the benefits of their deference to me as well. Now by 2 weeks before my big 18th birthday I was also convinced dad was a crime boss, There was just no other explanation to all the money and the suits our housekeeper and cook, the drivers, expensive vacations and three local restaurants dad owned in town but seldom visited or tended to himself. Why the custom made RV and not a car? This was not the only secret I had in my young life then. There was my relationship with Jimmy Gears our next door neighbor who's dad was a single Parent like mine and also well off as head of surgery at the local hospital. Jimmy and I would spend many a sleep over as we grew up only difference from other kids sleep overs is that when we planned or asked for a sleep over it turned out Our dads agreed always, but it always turned out to be a foursome sleep over, Our two dads made a night of it as well sleeping over in the master bed room not far from our rooms. Jimmy and I took it as an over protective single parent thing and paid little mind. You guessed it Jimmy and I as many a young boys do, progressed from a showing each other ours, to jerking each other off and even to sucking and gloriously into fucking the hell out of each others holes. I grew to love Jimmy and he me as only two boys into this sort of thing could and do. Jimmy and I could be open and frank with each other as only two male lovers can and so Jimmy reinforced the in me the neighborhood conception of my dad as a Crime boss. Jimmy worked himself up to a lather in fear that if ever our love became known to my dad he'd have Jimmy snuffed, wiped out, taken care of, sent to swim with the fishes as they say. One night alone in Jimmy's bed I was as always trying to make light of his fears. " Jimmy do you think if my dad was really a Crime boss he'd be sleeping right now down the hall in a bed with your own dad? Crime boss's just don't clime into bed with other men." I had said that without thinking and only as a means to ease Jimmy's mind but hearing my own words suddenly enlightened my own mind. The truth of my own statement opened my eyes to a possibility, We were in a large mansion that had four bedrooms and here was our dads sleeping together in one bed? Every other weekend it was the four of us sleeping in our home or at Jimmy's and the same arrangement always. We'd take summer and winter vacations to Paris, London, and it was always two a joining hotel rooms one for the Dads one for us boys. Jimmy propped up on one elbow naked after I had creamed his hole with my teen cum was shocked at the thought. " Holy Shit Brad, Our dad's are as into each other as you and I are" The rest of that night we were up and talking about only that possibility, Our dads were queer for each other as we were. We bought up all the signs we had been missing to prove our case. Jimmy remembered then that not long ago he noticed his dad had kissed us good night wearing blue jockey shorts and my dad had on white jockey shorts, In the morning he distinctly noticed that the briefs were reversed on them. I recalled once finding two used rubbers that didn't flush down the toilet after one of our sleep overs, Jimmy and I never used rubbers on each other. How could we have been so blind? Was it that we were so involved in our own sexual escapades we didn't see their's happening? Jimmy bought it up first by asking " If this is true Brad, would you be open to having sex with my dad and would I be open to having sex with your dad? I lay there and at his words was picturing his dad naked. The man was a dream Hunk, Like my dad Blonde and the perfectly formed male body. I had the excitement of one time or another having seen both Men's cocks and they were both thickly and hung long and uncut. I answered Jimmy's question slowly and deliberately more then a little afraid my answer could piss Jimmy off. " Jimmy to be honest it would be weird as hell at first but Yes I'd have our kind of sex with both Men." A plan was hatched, Each man had a private office in the basement of each home, My dad's was locked up tighter then a bank vault but Jimmy's dad's office was never locked. We'd join forces during the school week and investigate that office for clue's. There was an hour each school day when we were mostly alone except for our respective housekeepers up stairs. in both home the house gym a joined the offices. We found three film tapes the first marked " First rehearsal. "Jim and Brad" We took the tape up to Jimmy's room excited to have found this treasure. I wasn't really prepared for all the information it did in fact reveal to us to shocked boys. First was my dad big Brad talking to a group of men maybe four of them. It seemed to be in a studio, there was a large bed with drinks on a table next to it. Dad was saying to the group. " OK men for this test no matter what I want complete silence during the filming and I want to run trough the whole sequence start to finish, we have a new man here on the set and this is to be our personal tape so no real need to be all that professional." Then shockingly out comes or into camera range comes Big Jim dressed like my own dad is shorts, T-Shirt and white socks, Wordlessly the two dad's embrace and are all over each other humping cocks and tonguing each other like gay lovers. My dad surprisingly goes down and actually kissed Big Jim's socked foot and then slowly peels off Big Jim's white socks and is holding up his muscular foot and licking and kissing that manly bare foot all while Big Jim is all smiles and bending to kiss my dad's head as the foreplay goes on. Dad reaches up and in a flash not missed by the camera pulls down Big Jim's shorts and the largest hard cock I've ever seen pops free and my dad is now all over that monster bare long 9 inch cock. One camera catches him sucking and devouring that monster cock while one camera shows his hand finger fucking into Jim's hole as he sucks. Then two fingers and then, Lord almighty Big Jim is pushing back on three of dad's fingers and loving it all. Suddenly both dad's are on the large bed and naked as all hell and 69ing each other and the three cameras are catching all the wonderful sucking. Jimmy and I then estimate that my dad's cock is at least an inch longer at maybe 10 inches. My dad asks suddenly in all kinds of sexual heat. " You want to be the bitch? Big Jim rolls off my dads cock and at once is on his back legs up in the air in submission to my dad. There is some confusion with the cameras I suppose ad they move to get into place and then We witness the head of my dad's cock up against Big Jim's hole and then inserting into the spreading hole as big Jim calls out for more of my dad's cock. We watch shocked as all 10 inches of that thick ass big uncut bare cock move slowly into big Jim's welcoming hole. It was there the film ended with a chalk board being held up before the camera saying " PART ON OF THREE" As Jimmy was reversing the film in the machine his housekeeper calls up the stairs. " Its almost time Boys for dinner" We rushed down to the office and return the tape as we found it. All four of us were to eat at Jimmy's that night and then after go out together to a movie. I was hard the whole meal looking at those two dads and later that night Jimmy fucked me royal and I creamed in his ass a master load of my cum. Next day a Saturday I was called on the phone by Jimmy. " We have a problem Brad," I joked back " Yea I know, How are we going to get our two dad's in bed with us for a hot foursome? Jimmy was not amused and in a sad voice said. My Dad knows, Seems we didn't put the film we saw back in the right order and he checked the office security cameras and saw it was us taking it. He wants you to say nothing to Your dad and come over as soon as you can to talk to the two of us." I suppose I should have been afraid or at least worried but instead I was excited and I responded to Jimmy " This is great Jimmy, now the fucking cat is out of the bag, Out of the fucking bag forever. Relax, Your already 18 as of last week and I'll be 18 in less the two days, its let the fun times begin my boy, Hey I'll be over in a flash Jimmy." As I rushed at full pace over to Jimmy's picturing his dad taking my dad's cock the thought ran through my mind. " So what the hell does my dad do for his living? Does he run a porno film company? Is he really a crime boss who happens to have muscled into a Porno film business? His he rich enough to have hired a Porno studio? I decided I just would have to wait but took great satisfaction in knowing my handsome Blonde dad was hung unmercifully large and was into fucking men like I would be in just two days. I was thinking life was grand as I open the door and let myself into Jimmy's house we never knocked on each others doors, we were like family to each other. Soon I prayed to become four ass hole buddies. I fully expected Big Jim to at least at first be playing the aggrieved and violated dad. Demanding we at the very lease two apologies for having violated his personal space as we had done. I heard them in the basement lounge and walked down. There they were seated at the bar each with a tall glass of beer in front of them, Each bare chested and sweaty as all hell and provocatively wearing only white briefs that were showing hot out lines of their cocks. Upon my entering Jimmy popped up and scooted behind the bar and was pouring me a beer. I couldn't believe my eyes, this wasn't like them to be like this it could have only meant that they had just had sex, I knew the look and smile on Jimmy's face, I wanted in.

I think going into it's pre-production, everyone had the right idea. A good script with a similar premise to Aliens: survive/get the fuck away from the aliens asap with the whole resurrection/hybrid-genetics twisted into the story and Ripley as a reluctant hero. Initially they tried to get Danny Boyle who would've delivered the goods. The problem was in miscasting Jean Pierre Jeunet for his visionary works and misreading what tone he would bring to the story. At the time, he had done incredible stuff with Delicatessen and City of Lost Children but the tone and character of those films does not translate into our expectations. Resurrection looks great as a film, but it's too much of a comic book in its portrayal and fantastical of a world to believe and feel any true horror. Jeunet doesn't make horrors or even thrillers, for that matter. He creates nightmarish worlds where humanity prevails in ironic, humorous, and romantic fashion. The Alien Franchise is rooted in realism, futureshock, and plays upon innate fears of -- interspecies (and genetic) rape, being preyed upon, and being alone in the dark.

@Bishy I dont think Jeunet was a miscast for directing the movie, there were great french actors, which were great in his films, too.. I watched Alien3 two days ago, and it really lacks of many things. I mean, there was everything there, great designs, atmosphere .. the worst scenes ( for me): - alien escape scene ( mentioned above). With all the futuristic tech there, cloning etc..,200 years from alien3, THEY DIDNT THINK OF GETTING ACID PROOF ALIEN CAGES? - the cacooned scientist in the baby alien birth scene, who has to explain ( while beeing cocooned of course) whats going on about the altered alien queen´s bith cylus etc..ridicilous..baadd -CGI aliens - cloned Ripley and her alienated behavior..Of course she dies in alien3, but there were other possibilities..

..one possible , better vision wouls have been to make it like Terminator4, which is one of the greatest SCIFis ever. Imagine alien 4, 200 years from alien3, in a dark, post apocalyptic world, after a worls war 3 whatever..wow

once again my 2 cents is that in order to be posting here at all, just to show up here, you had to have found at the very least one tiny thing in each of the 4 films that you liked. Your EGO and Mine are incredibly sneaky but the bottom line is if you are here at all, you liked something, maybe even just one thing, but you found something redeemeable in each of the first 4 films...end of long winded story.

Thank You Spartacus! Too much bashing on 3 and 4. If you want to use a film for a punching bag just look at Alien vs. Predator: Requiem. LOL, now thats a film to bash my friends.

I wouldn't say Resurrection was crap, just my least fave out of the 4. Faves are in order they were released. Each film has its own flaws, just some more than others.

@SSgt Fett. Actually man I love each one equally. I honestly don't have a favorite. I'm just using the Ripley 8 character as my username because Ellen Ripley is well known. I love Alien, Aliens, Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection. They are ALL great films. so no Resurrection is not my favorite. ALL 4 films are.

I personaly hated the ending as well and that creature, but I loved the way they drank scotch in space and the banter between Johner and Ripley and Ripley and the DR. and Coles portayel as well...Loved a lot of that film, including the Betty, and now, these days I want Guns Up My Sleeves!!!
