Seriously, Hollywood have run out of
ideas for a movie, so what do they do? They hire a 2 bit hack
writer who is also responsible for that other monstrosity of a
series & movie Buffy The Vampire Slayer plus they hire the
French directing equivalent of Ed Wood, Jean-Pierre Jeunet who's
visual style looks so bad that even a pile of vomit looks better.
To even describe this movie makes
me want to wretch but here goes.
Ripley is back after 200 years.
She has been cloned and is now half Alien and half human.
Scientists have also managed to bring back to life the aforementioned
Alien.
The movie proceeds to insult us
with it's lame writing, direction and acting. The movie then
insults us even more with an ending so lame about a human looking
baby Alien that I wanted to promptly piff this DVD out the
door.
Alien Baby my ass, looks just
like an excuse for the director to make yet another of his shonky,
schlock euro trash movies. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!

Why do bad movies have great transfers
and great movies have bad transfers? This
is a great transfer which is super sharp. Colours were well rendered
and shadow detail was wonderful. There were no MPEG or film
artefacts seen.
Alien Resurrection is framed at 2:35:1 and is
16:9 enhanced.
Alien Resurrection is a single sided, dual
layer disc. The layer change occurs at 55:51.

| AUDIO |
|
Dolby Digital 5.1 sound encoded with
excellent use of the surround channels to make a wonderful and immersive
track.
The .1 channel was also continually used
throughout and the dialog was easy to hear at all times
