"What's inside me? What's inside me?!!"
Two hundred years after the events of Alien 3 military scientists create a clone of Ellen Ripley
(Sigourney Weaver) complete with alien embryo growing inside her. After separating
the two, the Ripley clone is kept alive for further study. One of the side effects
of the cloning is that Ripley’s DNA has been crossed with that of her alien
baby and she now possesses super human strength and acidic blood as well as a
kind of telepathic link with the aliens. Meanwhile a group of mercenaries
arrive aboard the ship carrying a cargo of kidnapped humans which the
scientists implant with alien embryos. Unsurprisingly these aliens escape and
run amok on the ship causing its remaining crew to run for their lives.
I was massively disappointed with Alien 3 (although FilmsRruss tells me that the Director’s Cut is
much better than the theatrical version I saw) and Alien Resurrection seemed to be going in the same direction. I
found the first half really boring and actually fell asleep after about 40
minutes. After I resumed viewing however, I really enjoyed the second half.
