Simply put, Jean-Pierre Jeunet was the absolute wrong choice for this film. His award-winning quirky French visual sensibilities don't mesh well with Joss Whedon's meat-and-potatoes script.

So campy that it almost plays like a sendup of the series. It is to 'Alien' what 'The Bride of Frankenstein' was to other 1930s Frankenstein movies, and it even shares some of the same themes.

It satisfactorily recycles the great surprises that made the first movie so powerful. And most significantly, it makes a big hoot of the whole business.

A blend of surrealist humor, unintentional self-parody and groan-inducing moments, this is easily the nadir of the franchise.

If you need to read a review to decide if you want to see "Alien Resurrection," you absolutely shouldn't be going.

[Jeuenet] doesn't push it all the way to "so bad it's good" territory, but he at least gives a healthy dose of the bizarre that makes it memorable, in its fashion.

This film should be an amazing thrill ride, but it has the emotional impact of a bowling ball at rest.

This fourth chapter in the popular sci-fi-horror franchise is without a doubt the weakest, both dramatically and visually.

A lot of fun to watch, and easy to surrender to in the moment.

More than worthwhile as a closing statement.

This is not a Hollywood space thriller at all, but an intergalactic fantasy driven by the same cheerfully eccentric impulses that have informed a myriad of high-spirited French filmmakers.

It brings a mordant, crackerjack wit to the world of chest-busting, head-ripping creepazoids from beyond.
