ALIEN: RESURRECTION (1997) – The Sequel That Went Too Far? | 60-Second Review

After the brutal, nihilistic ending of Alien³, nobody expected the Alien franchise to return—but in 1997, Ripley was resurrected… literally. Alien: Resurrection is easily the weirdest, most divisive entry in the series, blending body horror, dark comedy, and over-the-top action into a film that feels more like a sci-fi fever dream than an Alien movie. But was it a misunderstood, creative experiment, or just an absolute mess?

Lets explore Joss Whedon’s script, Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s surreal visuals, and bizarre creative choices that made Alien: Resurrection one of the strangest franchise revivals ever. From Ripley’s cloning and new abilities to the controversial Xenomorph Hybrid, we’ll break down the movie’s most bizarre moments, its cult appeal, and its place in Alien history.

Did Alien: Resurrection go too far, or was it ahead of its time? Let’s talk about the movie that revived Ripley… but maybe not the franchise.
