I didn't love the ending either. It was very strange. But it is also only like 30 minutes of a two hour movie.

Oh I know, which is why I said I liked it till then. When the end of a movie does not have a pleasing payoff, it affects the whole. But I still enjoyed the visuals and battles before the live birth.

Even if Warrick from CSI was a character. Having Hellboy opposite as his drinking buddy made up for that :p

The tone of this film was off. Not enough grim, claustrophobic terror. It was too Besson-y. Jaunty french irreverence is not what I want in an Alien film.

There were some cool ideas and scenes like the aliens eviscerating one of their number to escape, the underwater sequence, and Call was a cutie. But the way they brought Ripley back, the dynamic between her and the hybrid and the "Alien sex scene" left me cold.

Felt like more of a spinoff than a canon film in the series.

I have seen that movie, but have no idea what Alien sex scene you are referring too. Got a link?

Your defense of your viewpoint is impeccable. Outstanding, really.

Wacky and weird is fine on its own, but not in an Alien movie.

I'll put it this way: Alien Resurrection to me is a lot like the JJ Abrams Star Trek movies -- standing on their own they're fine, maybe even good, but as Star Trek movies they're terrible.

I guess I'd rather be entertained--in some capacity--than be bored. Alien: Resurrection at least managed to hold my attention by feeling creative and by doing unexpected things. Alien 3 just made me yawn.

Any movie with Hellboy in it is great.

I appreciate it's wacky B-movie vibe, but at the end of the day, it's pretty fucking stupid. Decent visuals though.

I really tried to like "In The Name of the King" just because Statham is awesome but the entire time I was watching it, it reminded me of this movie:

There's a reason why Uwe Boll is hated.

Quite possibly the worst director in the history of film.

Wow looks like he does a lot of video game movie adaptions. How long until he ruins my favorite franchise of all time and makes "Dead Space"?

Have you seriously never seen an Uwe Boll movie? (Other than In the Name of The King.)

The last game adaptation he did was in 2011, so probably never.... thank god.

Neither have I, but I know his reputation.

Just watch this classic clip from 2003's House of the Dead.



And keep in mind Uwe Boll considers himself to be on the same level as Cameron, Spielberg, and Kubrick.

I guess it's referred to as the Viper's Nest scene. I couldn't find a good video but here's an explanation from the filmmakers/set designers:

I guess calling it a "sex scene" (or orgy, in a way) isn't quite accurate because the whole Giger Alien design has this quasi psycho-sexual horror aspect to it. But it always came off that way to me when I watched it.
 
As far as I am concerned this movie never happened and the same goes for alien 3.

He makes money off german film ministry or something as long as he shoots in germany. Dude can scrap tho.

He can scrap against nerds that had never been in a fistfight in their lives whom Boll hand-picked because they criticised his movies.

I'm 6'0, 215 pounds, and could whip his ass in an MMA or boxing match.
