Who goes there? AN alien!, May 22 2003
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. Good movie. WHY DID CRITICS DISLIKE IT?! Maybe cause they thought it sacrificed character and mood for special effect, but when you watch it now it doesn't seem like that at all. Or maybe they cant take a little blood , okay a lot of blood.A GREAT movie, with the most freakish unsuspecting scenes of all time (the blood test). Also the DVD features ar top notch.

IS POSSIBLE (theoreticaly), May 22 2003
Before I review dis movie, i would like to say the special features on the DVD [STINK] BIG TIME. But, I LIKE the movie SO MUCH...i bought it anyway. I don't know why critics didn't like it. Maybe because it sacrificies the mood IN THE END for the visceral stuuf, but that makes it more disturbing altogether. Or, maybe because it "borrows" themes from solaris, alien, and the shining, but not really. This is an underapprechiated TERRRIFING horror, with the creepiest acting from Sam Neil ever and Arguably the coolest role for Mr. Fishburn . THE MOST INTRISTING thing i noticed was after the movie I looked up on black holes, and THEORETICALLY THE "HELL" DIMENSION IS POSSIBLE! Black holes MAY be gate ways to other demensions and such, also THEORETICALY could allow time travel. Why think of what happens in a black hole. Although a white hole, a opposite of black hole, has never been found, this could happen. Type EVENT HORIZON (neame of a part in a black hole) on google and it will lead you to some sights about this. But i just like de movie.

Why does everyone hate (My real rating is 3 and a half stars, May 16 2003
Why? I mean come on! Plot holes? Watch ressurection if you want plot holes!! But really, i think this movie is preatty good and it has my favorite "style" of all of them, but why do people hate it so much? It is a litlle disappointing for a sequal after "Aliens" (THe best in the series) but no sequal can top aliens! It also does get unique, with the alien being a runner (the facehugger facehugs a dog, in turn the alien is more orange-ish and uses all fours more) AND most of the inmates suffering from XYY chromosomes (most males have XY ONLY chromosomes) making them more brutal, stronger, and increased horemones and such. You know, people say it has no character development and such, but david finchers ORIGINAL VERSION was 2hrs and 50 minutes! MAybe more character developments in there! Also the part of the "plot hole" of the beginning with how the facehugger gets on board, i know the REAL explanation (They actually filmed it!) It NOT two eggs or two facehuggers like they say, it's actually a "super facehugger" which the queen carries (probably)onto the sulaco on ALiens. It lays a queen egg and then a "protecter" (wich has direct telepathic link to the unborn queen). THe super facehugger facehugs riply and the dog. Now they didn't film the explenation (i don't think) but they milmed a seen where on of the prisoners finds the superfacehugger and thinks it's a jellyfish (I've seen it!. It's a little bigger than a normal facehugger and has webbing between the ?fingers?" SO there just wanted to explain that once and for all.
