Imo Alien Resurrection is the creepiest of them all. The clones and the Newborn creeped me out when I got the Alien Quadrilogy and watched them all for the first time as a teen. But nothing compares to Alien Isolation
Alien... Alien compares to isolation
@@mullaoslo Eh it's a blend between both movies. More the first than the second but I love them both equally.
The clone scene is so iconic I still occasionally think about it.
@@mullaoslo alien isolation needed the pulse rifle and smartgun
@@mullaoslo exactly, nothing can beat the first two films.
I remember Roger Ebert's review of Alien Resurrection: "Ripley's genes are all right, too: They allow her reconstituted form to retain all of her old memories, as if cookie dough could remember what a gingerbread man looked like."
I have a soft spot for Resurrection. I firmly believe a well made Alien 5 should follow Ripley 8 and really give the character a proper ending.
There is a novel that follows the story ripely 8 and the crew of the betty after resurrection . Its called original sin. Its not half bad. It’s about the group tracking the company and the aliens to take them down.
@@chasefeller1279 yes! I actually enjoyed that novel.
I liked it it just felt way too short
@@chasefeller1279 the company...? Walmart?
I thought a continued story with weaver and Ryder would of been cool on screen back on earth the dump hole. Shame.
Unpopular opinion: I like Alien Resurrection. This movie showed us so many new things we had never seen before! The way the aliens were completely at home underwater was shocking to me. Makes me think there might be oceans on the alien home world... And what about the astute intelligence the aliens demonstrated in the lab? And aliens being held captive in a lab! I also liked the newborn... It had horribly expressive eyes that looked so sad when it was dying. Plus, I like the alien abilities Ripley inherited from the queen. It made her seem like a superhero, to me.
I like Alien: Resurrection - for those same reasons. The underwater scene was amazing, the lab escape - how they used their blood to effect. I wished the Newborn survived to maturity (it was the equivalent of a Chestburster) it would have likely been bigger than a warrior (plus it might have had an almost human calculation to its actions as an adult) still the emotions it displayed in the film - especially the toddler temper tantrums it displayed with it's strength. The music score in the film was very atmospheric and good. Casting all round was brilliant. I have to say - Sigourney Weaver's basketball throw that was so brilliant they were lucky to catch that take (almost didn't due to everybody's surprise to that shot).
I agree, the death of her alien child at the very end, that look in its eyes so sad, sometimes i think why couldnt there just be a freakin gun there to end it quickly, what a horribly way to go.
We already knew that the Aliens were intelligent. We learned that from moments in the (much better) first two films. They were able to recognize the purpose of power generators and elevators and use that knowledge to their advantage. Ripley having abilities is certainly an interesting direction to take, but it kinda goes against the point of what Alien started. It was about normal, blue-collar, working-class people encountering an organism more sinister and dangerous than they had ever imagined. Ripley was never some magical, Mary Sue-esque superhero facing intergalactic threats. She was just a normal person, trying desperately to survive and prevent the danger from reaching her ever again. Now she’s half-Xenomorph and has superpowers, which really takes from that in my opinion. If she really wanted to, she could probably just straight up fight the Aliens. Rip off their heads and kill them. And honestly, the Newborn just looks ugly and goofy to me. It’s roaring and screaming rather than making the horrific screeches and clicks that we know the Xenomorph for. It’s just kinda stupid.
@@stanstanstan2597 Agreed. This Alien movie had such an awful dialogue too.
@@RobFox And this is all without even having seen the movie, these are just conceptual issues
The novelization makes Ripley's character somewhat similar to someone who experiences Alzheimers, it's both sad and fascinating, and i wish the movie had dwelt in this so much more. It could have made for a very disturbing and real horror angle of it's own.
AT: The poem may have comforted her in cold space, reminding her of home.
Me: *immediately and affectionately accepts as canon*
While I was not a huge fan of Alien: Resurrection, I did always find it noteworthy that H.R. Giger described it as "excellent." It is certainly the most Gigeresque of the films in its aesthetic whole, even more so than the original film, and Giger asserts as much. Ultimately, I think that the movie had a lot of unreached potential.
She really needed those memories as a cushion so she could meaningfully live like the replicants in Blade Runner.
Well said. Makes sense.
I think a cushion to keep her sane. That way questioning herself won’t make her go crazy and kill herself. Out of 8 attempts they got her “just right.” I’m sure it was on purpose because she is a “Hybrid”. They knew what they were doing. This is different than Blade Runner.
I love how the intro mirrors Ripley’s and the queen embryo’s experience!
Simply put, brilliant.
Thank you for your contribution.
Ripley 8 is badass. She may be half Xenomorph but she is full Ripley! I wish she'd team up with her past self. That would be so epic.
Does ripley 8 have like all the memories the ripley from alien1,2, and 3 had?
@@bentwigg4416 Bits and pieces but she does have them
The Ripley stuff in "Resurrection" is SO good. The question of who and what Ripley 8 is the real story, it easily upstages the aliens. That is the one thing that stuck with me when I saw this, what would it be like to suddenly become conscious and have memories of things that did not actually happen to you?
@Alien Theory, David Prowse, the actor who portrayed Darth Vader passed away this morning at the age of 85 due to an Illness. RIP, David, may the force be with you.😔
I've always felt there's a good movie tucked away somewhere in Alien Resurrection. Parts of it I really enjoy, especially the genetic crossover between Ripley and the Alien. The problem for me comes from parts like the one where Dan Hedaya reaches to the back of his head, pulls out a piece of his brain and stares at it. That will never not be stupid. Too many one-liners and nonsensical moments like that really hurt the film. I still enjoy it sometimes, but I have to be in the right mood where I don't care too much about all the dumb moments.
the book is great :D
A friend of fine who was in an accident hit by a car he didn't even know until he was told a chunk of his skull was missing the ambulance crew pointed it out he had been touching it thinking it was just a large cut.
I agree with the rest it was very cheesy but it feels like had it been serious with better dir/writer and good film is in their.
The one liners and tongue in cheek acting is why I like it. I'd rather not just have another alien/s clone. I don't mind the less serious style
You don't know how brains work do you?
To be fair, it was a 90s movie and some of those things are what made 90s movies just that.
Still, the characters in Alien: Resurrection were smarter than most characters in Prometheus and Alien: Covenant.
Thanks, this gives Ripley 8 the character arc that she never had, and I can stop hating this movie.
Why would you hate this movie? It's not even close to avp2 levels of bad..
@@mullaoslo Well to be fair almost all movies are not even close to AvP2 levels of bad.
This movie has its place, all 4 movie tell Ripley's story and her battle with the alien. Its not the best one but you'll never top 1 & 2 ever.
@@rhyshyrapiet exactly, its like the terminator franchise.. If they stopped trying to top the first two and just tell cool in universe stories we might actually get some cool movies
I mean many of the elements are still covered in the special edition but more so communicated by body language, you could tell Ripley 8 was conflicted and on some level identified with the Xenonorphs.
The internal struggle Ripley felt added a fair bit but I don't see how they could have brought that to film at the time.
Not gonna lie: I was glad A.C. Crispin took over for Resurrection's book adaption. Even if the film bombed at the box office, Crispin gave me the emotional closure I was DEPRIVED of in Alien 3's movie AND its book adaption by Foster. My beef with Foster has always been his narrow focus on the action-and-sequence of film events; he RARELY (if ever) takes creative liberties to expand on a character's thoughts and put emotional weight on certain scenes. Everything is very by-the-numbers and, as a result, I feel nothing. This issue became more apparent to me when he wrote Alien 3's book adaption, where the passing of Newt and Hicks comes and goes like a fart in the wind. Apparently, Crispin must've realized this as well because Resurrection is riddled with beautiful emotional moments related to Newt (and even my boi, Hicks!). it's as if Resurrection wanted to address all the things Alien 3 ignored with regards to Ripley and her emotional connections (which is the WHOLE point of her arc!). I remember reading Resurrection and expecting an action-packed, by-the-numbers book again, only to be hit with the fucking FEELS.
Damn, your narration is EVERYTHING. I just love these kind of videos. And yeah, I do watch Resurrection from time to time, as all other Alien movies (except for both AVPs). I think I prefer the Special Edition, after having finally seen it rather recently.
I was 7 when I watched these movies for the first time. I love the alien series through thick and thin. And I will always love Ellen Ripley, she may be a fictional character but I consider her a true hero. And Heroes never die.
Poor Amanda, Ripley really didn't care much for her did she, if the image of a child provokes memories of Newt rather than her real daughter... edit: commented before finishing the video, she does remember her in the end...
I mean, Amanda was dead. Newt was a much more immediate memory.
Flawed as it is, I always enjoyed watching Alien Resurrection. Sigourney Weaver did some really great acting as you’ve covered very well here... I don’t hold her responsible for the “was it everything you hoped for” line 😄
My words cannot do honour to your dissection of the novelization, screenplay, and special version AT. Such thought-provoking images and concepts are well-justified and we, the viewers, are lavished time and again by such well thought-out, planned, and executed video's.
They're all out there....the Mr. H's, the Alien Anthology - all watching in disbelief at your mastery in making these masterpieces - pushing the boundaries of video, audience, and communities.
You have my salutations sir.
Alien Resurrection is a great story, this novel is a proof of it
I love Alien Ressurrection. It's fun with elements of sci-fi cheese as far as the misfit pirates and mad scientist, its rewatchable, it's a tribute to Ripley's legacy in the franchise. It brings some new concepts and shows an inadvertent evolution of the aliens. It's one of the best of the franchise.
Resurrection is a guilty pleasure saw it at 16 in the cinema first alien movie I could watch in the theater
Oh lovely memories
I'm a bit conflicted myself.
On one hand, all this new information gives us a vastly more complete look at Ripley 8, and greatly contextualizes all her feelings, thoughts, and actions throughout the film. Knowing that scenes like Ripley cutting the power, caring for Call and the newborn, being conflicted over the former's existence as an android and the latter as a xenomorph byproduct, etc. WERE meant to be extensions of her memories, is brilliant and makes me feel like an idiot for not putting the pieces together before seeing this video. It even gives me a fair bit more respect for Alien Resurrection that it managed such subtle storytelling (even if a some of it is bogged down with dumb or goofy scenes).
OTOH, let's not forget Alien vs. Predator fell deeply into the trap of reminding us too much of the previous, better films. You do that enough and eventually the viewer would rather just watch THOSE movies instead. And as such, I can completely understand why they referenced them as little as possible.
Perhaps there's a good middle ground it could've tread the way Aliens and Alien 3 did, referencing the previous films just enough to get the point across without beating you over the head with it, but given there's already a good 10 or so minutes at the start of the movie dedicated to retreading old ground as it is, complete with an unsubtle Aliens quote, I'm not sure the filmmakers of this particular entry were up to the task. And if they weren't, they made the right decision to leave the idea well enough alone once the movie gets rolling.
Alien Resurrection is not a great film IMHO, but it's absolutely not garbage either, and unlike AvP it at least isn't afraid to stand on its own.
I absolutely love Alien Resurrection! In fact I love all twelve Alien/Predator films about as much! They're altogether an amazing experience!
bits and pieces ;)
We must eliminate the Aliens VK! 👍🏻
I still kind of like Alien Resurrection.
It’s better than nothing
I kind of do too but for one scene that kind of ruins the whole movie for me because it's so stupid. When the characters have to swim to the door and Christy is trying to shoot down at the Zeno it's stupid. Christy is supposed to be this master shooter that can shoot asst angles and stuff but he can't hit thebig Zeno right below him. And the Zeno is shown DODGING FUCKING BULLETS. That's retarded. Then when it gets hit by what's his face it's barely hanging on Christie's boot by one finger so he just cuts himself loose and commits suicide. Just because he got acid on his face and arm? Wtf? Or because the crippled guy was losing his grip? Wtf? All he had to do was swing back his arm and grab the railing. Was he killing himself because he was so vain that he got a little disfigured? Who fucking does that? It's that fucking scene that ruins the whole movie just because it's mind numbing retarded.
Yeah not the greatest of sequels for sure but when I saw this film for the first time I grinned and bared it and just thought they brought her back and didn’t kill her? Yknow I naively thought the next one will further expand the story of her adventures crossing paths w the Xeno and who knows finally confront the engineers as we both know that didn’t happen and ripleys story just ends with this hodge podge of an action movie set in the greatest sci-fi universe ever just sad and wasted
In the grand scheme of the Aliens franchise it’s by no means the worst. Treated as a stand alone, it’s over the top, but still a strong sci fi outing.
Sometimes
This was intriguing and AT has such a soothing tone that I can’t help but be mesmerized whenever he narrates.
It's been maybe a decade since I last watched Resurrection, this video convinced me to rewatch it. Thanks :)
Were the xeno's trying to get in Ripley 8's cell to kill/impregnate her or to bring her back to the nest to chill as one of their own like at the end? I've always wondered this.
chill and netflix
@@bdosreisable absolutely :)
I couldn't look into the eyes of the newborn when I first saw the film. They were just too human, hedious and sad. When it killed the queen it was obvious it wanted a human mother and that wasn't going to happen.
I was hoping the CSI actor would live but doubted it. Wynona Rider faced her fears of being submerged underwater after having almost drowned as a child so have to give her props for that.
Phenomenally done. Thank you so much. I always loved Alien 4 the best. Ripley thinking of Ripley and looking at both creatures, humans and xenomophs.. appreciating them and condemning them at the same time. A great story.
The best way to put it is an old adage: She knows so little as to not know what she is doing, but knows enough to be dangerous.
I’m biased towards Alien Ressurection because it came out when I was a teenager and I loved every second of it, and until today this movie’s version of Ripley is my favorite. (She was a huge role model for me back then.) I prefer the extended version of the movie that comes with the deleted scenes, it makes it a little more “whole”. That being said tho, I love the novelization the most, it’s my favorite version of the story because it explains so much background through Ripley’s thoughts. A lot of that got lost in the actual movie.
I love your content. My favorite Alien channel! One of my 2 favorite channels on the whole internet ❤️ Much Love
Beautiful video, and you are a magnificent narrator. What great content
Thank you Alien Theory for going deeper into the Alien Hive (rabbit hole) than most humans would ever dare. 😊😊
Alien Resurrection is like a fine wine, it gets better with age.
Great video. This should turn many into Resurrection because although it should've been obvious, many fans didn't see these subtle thoughts & complexities behind Ripley8 actions in the theatrical film. I did. These are the reasons why I've always much preferred Resurrection over 3.
I have so got to get the novel.
If it's anywhere as good as what this channel has eluded to then I can't even think that I need, no must have it.
I think it's awesome, heartwarming, and some stoicism in there as well. When a person saves a life they don't just save that person they are also saving themselves.
I would like to see all the cuts and the movie in intact! Many films should be gone over and put back together!
Special Edittion, it is a fun romp.
Resurrection was brilliant. I adore it.
I thought Ripley 8 having any memories at all was downright silly, but Sigourney Weaver played such a twisted new version of the old character that I enjoyed it anyway.
Resurrection had a very interesting premise, I'll give it that. Loved Weaver and Ryder's performances. But no, I'll never grow fond of the movie just as I've never warmed up to Alien 3. Sure, they're not "bad" films when judged solely on their own merit, but as ALIEN movies they couldn't live up to the bar set by the predecessors. Even Prometheus and Covenant were disappointing. If there ever is another feature film - meticulous care and love & respect for the original material needs to be put in. Alien: Isolation was a labor of love and it greatly paid off as it's the best Alien-related story released since Aliens.
Another brilliant video 🖤 no matter what she could or could not remember she knew she had to fight! The disappointment on her eyes when Call says you are a thing they grew you in a lab 😔 thank you for the video keep safe.
A good walkthrough. This gave me a lot more insight into this movie. I think Sigourneys acting captures much of it. They way her face changes when seeing the picture of the little girl may easily be the finest moment of acting from her part in the entire Alien franchise.
I am very open to the movie. Its a lot more entertaining than Alien 3 and the score is superb. I also really love the moment when she gets carried to the nest in the arms of a xenomorph.
Its great to hear the details from the novelization. It adds more depth.
I never watch the theatrical release - That goes for Alien and Aliens too. I only watch directors cut or the special edition. They are much better in each case.
I hope that someday we will have a finale chapter to the Ripley part while Sigourney is still alive. She doesn´t necessarily need to be the protagonist. A small role explaining her fate would be sufficient - Well as long as it is a bigger role than Shaws appearance in Alien Covenant.
The alien saga has a problem with loose ends. that goes for Ridleys prequel series too. We really need the third and final chapter before Michael Fassbinder gets too old.
I've only read Alan Dean Foster's Alien Novelization, but I really want to get Aliens and Alien 3 now, just to get to Resurrections Novelization. You can say what you want about the film, you really can, ( I happen to be one of those weirdo's in the fandom, that thinks Resurrection isn't too bad...) but the Novelization for Alien Resurrection sounds very interesting, and the character of Ripley 8 sounds equally as interesting!
This honestly made me a bit emotional. I really wanna go read the novelisation now.
I think this is the best version of Ripley. Sigourney knocked it out of the park for me.
Thanks for this. Very well done. Watched it twice.
Great video! The editing and dialogue perfectly demonstrated Ripley's inner conflict.
A most excellent presentation.
Love the excerpts from the novelization. I’m quite fond of the extended cut of this film despite its tonal disjointedness and the ::cough cough:: hybrid. IMO Sigourney Weaver does a great job of playing Ripley 8, particularly when it comes to the subtly menacing aspects of the character.
Fun fact: The first few lines of Joyce Kilmer's poem "Trees" was recited by a kryptonite archivist in Superman 2. The scene takes place after Lex Luthor and Miss Tishmacher rock up into the fortress of solitude.
Carry on
Thank-you for that extra insight into Ripley's character, in The Resurrection movie! As it has given me a whole new appreciation for that movie! I think I'll watch it again with those new characterizations! That movie was flawed and had many holes also they could have done something with that new Alien as they could have done one more ? maybe two as a trilogy of it's own? But I'm just spitballing here!
OMG! This, (if you read between the lines and squint a bit), suddenly became a good movie because of this novelization recap! Thank you, sir :)
Great video, nice insight into the the franchise here; I don't if you've made a video about it, but, there's topic I'd like to see covered: are the aliens telepathic?
You do a fantastic job here, I love the videos; my favorite one is the topic of how the alien egg got onto the Sulaco in Alien 3, even though there's just nothing concrete, that's a topic that's been nagging me for quite a long time.
I just thought of another topic to cover: whatever happened to Hudson from Aliens?
I always liked resurrection.. It was never a classic like the rest but it had its own style like the others and did have some great moments.. The practical effects are still awesome.. I was also unknowingly a fan of this directors previous movie so no wonder I got sucked in by this.
Another great video, and especially nice to see some love for Resurrection, which in my opinion is the most underrated of the original Ripley films (though I still rank it where you do on your list of Alien films). After watching this, it did bring to mind some questions about Resurrection that i've been thinking about and I thought I would take this opportunity to ask ya.....
1. What were the Xenomorphs going to do with Ripley 8 when they captured her? It's clear they weren't going to have her be host for a facehugger since she wasn't cocooned and no egg was around her, so what was the point of bringing her to the nest? Also, if they weren't going to infect Ripley 8 with a chestburster, then why did a facehugger jump on Ripley 8 during the underwater scene?
2. Do we know how the Xenomorph's viewed Ripley 8 (expanded universe, novelization, script,etc)? Did they see her as kin, or even as a defacto Queen since it is implied that the Xenomorphs may have inherited memories and therefore would have some idea that they may have come from Ripley?
3. Why did the newborn kill the Queen? Was it that it had enough or Ripley's inherited memories that it recognized/remembered the Queen as an enemy?
4. If the Queen eventually developed a human like reproductive system, would that mean that she would no longer reproduce asexually, and by extension, would need genetic material from an outside source to fertilize her eggs and produce the newborn? Perhaps that was the reason the scientists were in the hive as they may have been the source of the necessary genetic material, or even maybe that was why Ripley 8 was brought there?
Im not sure if there are answers out there, but I would be interested to hear your opinions on this. In any event, I (along with several fans)appreciate all your hard work and will continue to tune in. Thanks
I would say that I like the Special Edition more than the theatrical cut. Honestly, I equate it to Daredevil with Ben Affleck. The special edition added more to the story and the theatrical version was more ambiguous, almost to the point that it almost didn’t make sense.
Resurrection feels like a spiritual sequel to the Earth Wars series. With a few minor exception, there are plenty of clues that point to the director at least being a fan of the series. Smarter alien drones likely due to Ripley 8 cloning process, the dreams Ripley 8 has, her ability to feel and hear the drones and the Queen. That line where Perez says that for all intents and purposes Ripley wiped out the alien race...that ending shot of a destroyed Paris... possible aftermath of the Infestation. Even if it's not canon, I'm sure it's a respectful nod to the comics.
IMO 2,4,1,3 👽 For me this video made Alien 4 even greater. This was excellent, well done sir!
Such a good birthday present, waking up to this video! As mixed as my feelings are towards Resurrection, I'll always prefer the special edition.
And after 9 months you are reborn
Special edition. Especially the clone scene.
I enjoyed alien resurrection right up to the end. The newborn alien just kinda made me do the really, really....
Thank you so much for this. It's amazing. I really wish they would've included these missing story moments in the movie. It would've connected Ripley 8 with the source of Ellen Ripley, and it would've connected and paid homage to her past while moving forward with her present. Hollywood just doesn't get it.
I expect at some point we will see Ripley character return with new actress story wise they can do as they please discarding any of the other films in the series.
Well done!! This is a great contribution to the screenplay, book,, your own pink flash shit, & theatrical versions of the film their entirety.
Way better than the prequel movies imo. At least the characters are more enjoyable than Prometheus and Covenant.
They should make an game base off Aliens with great graphics and choose your character human like Ripley or Xenomorph to defend Hive from Hicks with sibilings it would be so fun
You sir are a genius
Something similar to Specimen Six adventure in AvP 2010 maybe.
it would I've cool to see Hicks meet Ripley 8😍😍😍😍😘😘😘🤤🤤🤤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Im loving this Alien Resurrection content! Ive always enjoyed it...yes the movie has faults, but I look at the film as an adaptation of the Dark Horse comics; cloning, hundreds of years in the future, androids with feelings, the weird new born and space pirates. All signs of a cheesy comic book plot. Ppl need to lighten up n not take the 4th fiļm so serisouly
It still a bad moive though
Have done any content on the alien and the alien queen that got ejected out of the airlock? I would have thought Weyland Yutani would have attempted to track these floating specimens to recover and study before spending over 200 years trying to clone ripley and the queen from her blood. Apologies if this has already been covered or if there is some literature on this
Alien Resurrection is a frustrating film in the series for me, cause i found it interesting what they did with the Ripley clone, how she had some of the Xeno DNA within her and it changed her slightly. I've always strongly felt from the scene where Ripley sees all the failed clone attempts of her, that should have made her practically give up on the human race and she should have just ultimately sided with the Xenomorphs, she even bonded with them afterward.
They should have just made it where when Ripley teams back up with the other characters, she helps them escape in their ship, but she then shuts down the self-destruct and takes that military/science ship off into deep space to find a home for the Xenos and continue their race. They would be her family and children now, cause she was already embraced as one of them by that point anyway.
I see a video from Alien Theory, I click.
I think this movie gets a bad reputation, it does have it's faults but I do like the acting by Sigourney, and the alien /human that she becomes.
I do wish they would have added more of her past and her emotions coming back.
The loss of newt; would have been a good addition. I don't think they did her justice when they killed her in her cryo tube *sad face*
Despite the movies flaws i grew up watching it and found the other ones because of this one and i stil enjoy watching it from time to time.
I only liked one scene in Resurrection and it was the part where Ripley is looking at her failed clones and gas to burn them, the best written, performed, shot scene in the film
I wounder if Ripley would remember memories that was erased it would of been interesting if she remembered the story that is featured in audiobook when she is woke up from cryo and then med pod removes her memory.
Really great video. Thank you.
oh ai loved this video ♥️
ofc I like all your content but this was soenthing extra special ♥️
alot of people hate this movie but as far as cyber punk and space opera its still top tier
Fun character!!
The scene where Ripley seems to have a fleeting memory of Newt is the only character moment I like in that movie. The burning of the clones is fine but I never could get into it because of how preposterous the whole premise is of Ripley being cloned is in the first place.
The aliens have a genetic memory and Ripley 8, as a mixed cloned inherited some of the ability.
Ellen Ripley was the tree, Ripley 8 is the poem. Both have value.
To face the finite eternity as a stranger in strange lands!
One think I really like about this channel is you can make a terrible schlocky movie like Resurrection sound intriguing and complex.
Yo this was so cool. Great job, one of your best vids yet and I loooooathe 4.
I always imagined what life was like in the movies world
Alien 4 got a bad rep when really none of them are bad. I enjoyed all alien films and look forward too more we get, but i hope disney wont ruin it
Kinda weird how Ripley has more memories of Newt than she does her own daughter.
@@drbuni but in the context of the novelization, I thought it would be more interesting for memories regarding her daughter to be mentioned. After all, Ripley had 10 years with Amanda and maybe just 2 days with Newt, if that.
After watching this I don't like either version... So much was left out that could have made the film amazing rather than mediocre. Awesome video thank you!
Can you break down all the prison characters from Alien 3?
I liked both versions, I liked this movie too. Showed me a different side of Ripley. She was in great shape for this movie just like the original. To bad the upper brass have ruined Alien making in cartoonist instead of a horror movie.
That should have been the Alien Resurrection we gotten.
I used to dislike Alien Resurrection but the movie have really grown on me.
