Alien Resurrection 1997

This is a real departure in tone from the other three Alien films that preceded it. It's rather quirky with its cast of over-the-top characters. Sigourney Weaver is still great of course, and Brad Dourif brings the weird. Ron Perlman is part of the cast, but he serves next to no purpose other than to deliver some of the attempts at humor in Joss Whedon's script.

The practical effects are very good with the queen alien bordering on amazing. The baby alien is also quite a creation, although I'm not fond of how it's used. I was surprised at how gory this movie is. The other three Alien films didn't shy away from the gore, either, but "Alien Resurrection" ups the ante.

This is my least liked of the "quadrilogy" but it's still a fun watch.
