Forgot to post this one last week. I don't really know why I like this movie. There are some really crappy scenes in this movie, but there are some cool shots that I enjoy, even to this day. Guess I like this movie for I watched it in theatres, back when watching R rated movies was a cool thing to do.
There are some good cameos in this film from the guy who plays Wormtongue from LOTR (Brad Dourif) to Gary Dourdain of CSI fame. If you want a weird friggin' movie, cast Dourif. Always liked him as a side character, ever since his work on One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest.
There's also a strong comedic performance from Ron Pearlman... you might even spot some parallel maneurisms between this character in 1997 to his current role as Hellboy. Its the persona that Pearlman brings, which is a far cry from his television days as the Beast in Beauty and the Beast.
What I like about this movie... Sigourney Weaver is crazy yet again, but she's also part alien now as she is cloned with hybrid DNA. That makes her even more lethal. She's also an amazon in this flick, as she kicks everyone's ass in a great intro scene in the gym. Winona Ryder doesn't do much to add to this movie as another "robot" with an agenda.
I dig the action sequences which include the alien chase in the water tank, the fight between the Betty crew and the soldiers (cool guns attached to Dourdan), and the ladder scene with Pearlman.
The concept of the movie has been done and they really should've stopped with Alien 3, which was bad enough. But Weaver's gotta pay the bills somehow and having a Quadrology is the ticket... too bad they made Alien vs. Predator (AVP), because now that's just too much of these mouth-watering freaks!
