About this movie

200 years after her last adventure, a group of scientists has cloned Lt. Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), along with the alien queen inside her, hoping to breed the ultimate weapon. But the resurrected Ripley is full of surprises for her resurrectors--as are the aliens they've attempted to imprison. To combat the creatures, Ripley must team up with a band of smugglers, including an advanced female android named Call (Winona Ryder), to combat the rampaging aliens in a lab ship hurtling toward Earth.

Ratings and reviews

The film took are money, spat in the faces of the fans and the series. Bad acting, bad effetcs the aliens look awful and there is even a documentary with the producers for this mess saying, " we apposed this film being made, we fought it would ruin the franchise." It did, is screwd it over but, luckily we have alien :isolation aliens infestation, Prometheus, alien covenant and alien 5 to bring the series back to full power!

Oh dear. Seems like a low budget movie where they wasted all the money on the bizarrest cast ever; Ron Pearlman and Winona Ryder? Stupid inplausible story with a gross tough white alien thing? Just don't bother. Watch Family Guy instead. It's more relevant.

great to see the usual confusion over this entry - I always say there are 3.5 great alien movies and Resurrection is great for the first half - it needs a rewatch as the ending became a bit silly. However Jeunet brings in stalwarts from his previous classics Delicatessen and City of Lost Children making it all much more fun - throw in Winona and Sigourney and the brilliant Brad Dourif who always makes a film better and you've at least got fun to be had. It's not as scary as Alien or as stupid as Aliens or even as talky as Alien 3 but it's inventive and quirky.. The real challenge is whether you can stomach Prometheus after this
