Not nearly as bad as I remember. And certainly an improvement over Alien 3. Hard, though, to care for a group of people who steal sleeping humans and sell them for medical experiments but, hey, things are tough in the future, I guess. Too bad Winona Ryder went all loopy, because she’s got a lot of charisma in this picture. More than Sigourney here, who is all mopey with her cloned super-powered self. The real star, though, is Dominique Pinon, the crippled man with the strange accent. I could watch him all day.
The last few shots are strangely sad – and very gross….this may be the grossest of the four Alien movies. If you haven’t seen this since the theaters (as I hadn’t) give this one another shot. It isn’t, you know, GOOD, but it hardly sucks.
