Crazy Credits
Many of the creature effects casting and mold making crew. Some long standing, heavily contributing members, were omitted from the credits. Supposedly due to budget concerns. See more »
Alternate Versions
The ABC television broadcast trims down most of the violence. The headburster, Elgyn's death, the gym shoot-out, General Perez' death, the soldiers escape pod sequence, and the chestburster facility scene. Nudity also cut. See more »
This movie is terribly underrated. It is a common opinion that "Resurrection" buried "Alien" franchise, but I really cannot see any reasons for it. The movie has a different approach than its prequels, but in 20 years movie industry changed so much and it would be sad if it was the same. Honestly, although I think it is slightly worse than two previous sequels, I still prefer it to the original "Alien".
7,5/10
