    • Trivia
      Sigourney Weaver originally refused to do a fourth Alien film. When asked why she changed her mind, she replied, "They basically drove a dumptruck full of money to my house".
    • Goofs
      (at around 30 mins) When Ripley drives Call's knife through her own hand, it does not get damaged by the acid in her blood even though it's soaked in it. In other scenes, just a few drops of Ripley's blood burn through thick metal, which would suggest that the knife's blade should also be burnt.
    • Quotes

      Johner: Hey, Ripley. I heard you, like, ran into these things before?

      Ripley: That's right.

      Johner: Wow, man. So, like, what did you do?

      Ripley: I died.

    It might disappoint you and here's why...

    The first three Alien films have a unique kind of "magic" about them that I think make up the ideal Alien experience.

    It is the "ALIEN" atmosphere: The first three films depict a very real world around a mysterious and terrifying ALIEN creature that you feared along with the well developed characters.

    Alien Resurrection has a very different flavor. Although it has some serious moments, there are several areas of this film that are out-of-place in both the film and the saga: Alien Resurrection has a number of humorous scenes which I feel take away from the above described overall ALIEN experience. The director goes straight into the action very quickly in this film so the only well developed character is Ripley. I think that the Alien creature loses a lot of its majesty in this film mostly because of these two critical factors.

    It is still a must-see film for any Alien fan. It is full of strong cinematic sequences that resonate in your head long after the film is over.

    But go in expecting something different.

    Enjoy!
