Running Time: 1h 49min
What is a very stylish fourth installment of the Alien series is really not necessary. Sure, I enjoyed the visuals and Weaver in her role. But it seems that there is absolutely no new developments, less than Batman and Robin even!
Diappointingly, it has a great cast which is capable of much more than a recreation of the first movie with more aliens that move like Jurassic Park's raptors. A lot of money must have been put into the set design, which though appealing, offers a stagnant view of the action.
Why can't we get these aliens off spaceships and on to planets? A Fifth Element syle of Earth or anything? I see Alien 5 in the future and they'll probably go this route, but they may have bored the audience too early.
Grade: C+
