as you have probably already read a thousand times, this movie is a real-stinkeroo.
Well, kinda. Apparently, military scientists have cloned Ripley (believe it or not), and she is about 25% alien, while the Queen, in turn, is 25% human. In fact, I enjoyed the first hour of the movie, then, WHAT THE *&%^ HAPPENED?!
Suddenly we have people running and running and wandering around a ship that seems as though it was a junkyard pile of old and rusty ship pieces. I still cannot figure out how the ships used in the future de-evolved. The ship in Alien was clean and white... then, the future's Military vessel is dark and leaky and seems to be blowing steam out of every single pipe.
What the heck happened in the last 30 minutes? We have Ripley falling through the grating onto the Alien's nest, where she sinks through a pulsating layer of Alien flesh. How did this come about? It's almost as if the movie "borrowed" StarCraft's Zerg Creep. Then, she is either hugging an Alien drone or is having sexual relations with it. The "Humalien", as I like to refer to it, is very stupid looking and does not capture the feeling of terror that the aliens usually embody.
This movie explored the Aliens' "Fleshy" possibilities, by adding more organic elements to their species. This bit! The Aliens were supposed to be like insects, for goodness sakes!
If the Aliens series has any chance at redeeming itself, it should do so in "Aliens vs. Predator". In fact, this would redeem both titles from sucky sequels.
This movie left me saying, "Huh?" (along with a few other choice words that will be left out from this commentary)
They shoulda just left the series alone after "Aliens". God bless James Cameron.
