REVIEW
Weaver returns in this unsatisfying mess as Ripley, who immolated herself in the previous film while "giving birth" to an alien queen. A couple of centuries later, scientists have succeeded in cloning her in order to extract the alien queen embryo from her womb for research and weapons purposes. Unfortunately for them, they also have the "meat by-product" of Ripley herself left over. Soon, the genetically enhanced Ripley is thrust once again into the center of an alien war, this time raging on a space vessel on its way back to Earth. Ryder plays a member of a group of interstellar pirates and smugglers who are accidentally caught in the fray. The opening sequence opens beautifully, showing off director Jeunet's visual talents. But aside from a few interesting scenes, the film is a repeat of the clichés of its predecessors. The Alien series should have died with its heroine.
