Chris Stuckmann reviews Alien: Resurrection, starring Sigourney Weaver, Winona Ryder, Ron Perlman, Gary Dourdan, Dominique Pinon, Brad Dourif. Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. - Zábava
You know what? I don't think he liked the film.
Yeah. I've seen less drama in a breakup.
Lmaoooo captain
Hahahahah I laughed so hard when I read this😂
Wilbur Whateley No, The Void, he did not...
@@AllIsWellaus g:
I'm really lucky that I saw Alien series backwards.
Keeps getting better.
Louis Belmont ah that’s awesome. I grew up watching them in ‘80s onward.
😂
Haha great outlook. If only star wars worked that way.
Sad face 😪😪
Do that with Predator too
Ehh invert 1 and 2
Joss Whedon blames anyone who isn't Joss Whedon whenever his projects go bad.
Joss had no power at the time so its a difficult case ... but yeah Justice League is def his bad.
@@darkthorpocomicknight7891 definitly. Seriously the guy who created Buffy the vampire slayer to direct Justice league and The avengers
@@AllanElMelon1043 Joss actually directs SOME good eps with Buff. But overall his style is chaotic - good things but bad ideas and vice versa. If you want I can recommend some eps if you like.
@@darkthorpocomicknight7891 no thank you. I dont favour the show much.
I mean makes sense I would do the same lol
Not every decision is wrong... the underwater sequence, both how they filmed it and the execution, is incredibly spectacular
Saw this movie as a kid and that was that whole underwater sequence stressed me out the most. The only other parts that bothered me was when the acid dripped on the wheelchair guy's ear and when the general pulled out a piece of his brain (lol). Curiously, I didn't have a problem with the clone room and I actually found the hybrid's death to be strangely satisfying in its own way.
just a cherry on top of diarrhea shake
Sigourney Weaver was hot AF in this one too.
The Aliens look and move in a cool way here
@@Whoa802 yep I Always missed the hotness of her body
I thought Ripley Is cloned because she had the alien in here before she died?
That is correct
She was. They needed a queen which she was carrying. the reason Ripley and the queen share DNA is because the sample they used was after she was impregnated
This is the exact reason why she was cloned. Easy to miss the obvious with this level or garbage though so Im not holding it against him....
I'm pretty sure cloning doesn't work that way, lol. But hey we're the movie going public what do we know? =P
yep cloning doesn't work that way
I like how the four Alien films have each their own character: Sci-Fi Horror, Sci-Fi War Film, Gothic Horror and Demented Carnival.
Ray Goshay The fact that you don’t acknowledge them as alien movies doesn’t mean that there are only 4 movies in the franchise, we got Prometheus and covenant now, not counting the avp spinoffs
Alien covenant is a fantastic mad scientist gothic horror film
Alien Resurrection is too ugly and unholy to look away from and that's its biggest selling point.
Actually each of the 4 films seem to fit the following genres, Alien = Horror, Aliens = Action, Alien 3 = Drama, Alien Resurrection = *(intended to be at least)* comedy.
@@darkarpatron Although Resurrection had some of the darkest scenes like the xenos attacking the runt, Ripley finding the clone room, and the Newborn getting sucked into space like a weird abortion.
The best scene for me is the one where she walks into the ‘failed clone’ room.
The scene of the chest burster coming out through the guys head, while obviously over the top because this movie is very stylized, is actually really impactful in context. The man with the glasses is a colonist who has been kidnapped and implanted with a chest burster. He knows it’s in him, and he knows what’s going to happen to him. He knows he’s going to die horribly, and he makes the decision that if he’s going to die this way, he’s going to take the man that did this to him (the guy he grabs) along with him. This scene is a man’s desperate, adrenaline-fueled attempt to bring some kind of justice to the world before he dies, and it works really well in my opinion.
We can just dismiss the fact that he's shot twenty times and survives before he does that to the guy.
let's pretend a say he had an adrenaline rush😂
I actually think the newborn looked appropriately unsettling, as a nearly humanized xenomorph should. You aren't sure whether to sympathize with it or be horrified. Perhaps if the tone and story of the movie were better, the newborn would have fit right in.
Yes! It petrified me as a kid, but when it was getting sucked out into space, I felt so bad for it. I doubt the same feeling would have been present for a xenomorph
@@Nimbus3690 "Mother, how could you?"
@@webinatic216 😭 don't remind me. It was traumatic as a kid
@@Nimbus3690 I agree!
Which was the purpose for making it oddly human. Same with the dying xenomorph which looks creepily like a human. This film is not bad.
There's something about the hybrid that make you feel compassion. That death scene is very disturbing.
That's what I always say. That death scene was gross, but at the same time, I felt so bad for the newborn.
Did anyone else notice the Hybrid was saying actual words like "No" as it died?
Yeah. I felt the same.
I’m sorry I found it funny, which I try not to do, I try to take things seriously but I couldn’t help but laugh
@Valkyrie, it's not quite what you'd compare to real humans that do not look like a penis with like 30 STDs given 7 foot tall life, I honestly found it kind of funny and relieving.
She did actually make that backward shot though. Wasn’t an edit. She actually hit the shot. It was like the first take too.
That's cool and all but the movie was still a pile of shit
It wasnt the first take
@@dudeguy7347, yes but doesn't change the fact that she did it. Could you make that shot?
No diabolically good basketball shoot is worth that much money, though, especially outside a professional competition.
@@iamcuthulu316 yes, anyone could if they tried enough times...
I actually liked this movie. I thought multiple scenes were very disturbing and creepy. The failed clone room is so creepy. Still gives me goosebumps. And the final alien death scene is so disturbing.
Agreed I feel like alien Resurrection was a really cool idea and concept but I don’t know what the heck they were thinking or how the weird cartoony comedy bits came in I mean I like some comedy relief I mean that’s always been there but like what is up with these cartoony scenes it’s like a slapstick comedy parity but at the same time it’s supposed to be you know an alien movie
Are you kidding? Thought the movie was morbidly hilarious.
@@TypOPositiv OK that would be a very unique approach for an alien movie
@@dragondice9201 that’s good b/c this sh!t ain’t easy to come by. So take a walk outside.
It's a grower. I suggest you watch it 63 times. It gets better. I promise!
I really enjoyed it as a silly campy slasher movie. However, this isn't a spin-off like AvP, meaning that I can't really forgive it for throwing the Alien franchise right into the gutter.
Rapper Riders I agree. I never watched AVP. They ruined it.
@@rapidreaders7741 this is acutally the most accurate description of this movie I can think of
I liked it from the first time
Now come on Chris, there IS one redeeming thing about this movie and his name is Ron Perlman.
and the soundtrack, so awesome.
Austin Skywalker remember when Ripley made that sickass basketball shot? Sigourney Weaver actually made that in real life too
Trash actor
The actors are fine. Nobody is likeable
Indeed the only thing that was even mildly entertaining was Johner & his one-liners.
I love this movie. Combining comedy with horror was a great idea. Also I like that Alien Movies Are Director movies.
They cloned her because she died impregnated with a queen and they wanted the queen.
So the queen was part of her DNA? That's... That's not how that works!
You are absolutely right, and it is the lamest, dumbest justification for their to be more xenomorphs.
A slice of the DNA,RNA,Protein of acid blood. I could be wrong. The movie has both of the characters covered with lice when recovered. Probably preserved by the same biological elements. Plot theory .
@@vincentmarcellino7183 How do Xenomorphs work exactly? They inherit traits from their hosts right? So the Queen will have had some Ripley DNA in here.
While I agree with most of what you said here is where I don't:
1. "They didn't explain why Ripley needed to be cloned." Actually, they did: The DNA samples of her were mixed with these of the alien queen so the scientists could not recreate them separated. That's why experiments 1-7 were mixtures between humans and xenomorphs. I don't think genetics really work this way but I can go with it.
2. "The idea of having the aliens trapped as pets from the beginning of the movie was bad." They've been talking about the idea of using the xenomorphs for military research since Alien. This movie finally shows what happens when people don't listen to Ripley. She did warn them... I think it's a good idea that was poorly executed :)
3. "The fear is taken away from the movie." I've watched this movie as a child and I shat my pants. As a grown-up I don't think that all Alien movies need to be horror movies. Aliens isn't. It's a "Terminator 2" with xenomorphs. Resurrection should've been the same thing only on steroids. Ripley can kill fucking aliens with her bare hands now! So much wasted potential.
4. "You cannot show the creature so much!" Well, that's because the creature usually is a person in a costume. I don't think Ridley Scott will keep the alien hidden all the time in Covenant.
5. "The newborn is stupid." It's another cool idea: "We have Ripley that is a xenomorph, why not have a xenomorph that is a human as well?" That's where the movie needs to go. The design is brutal. This thing is deformed and it's fucking mad! Again, that's what happens when the military scientists meddle with things they don't fully understand.
Teodor Klimentov it's a good idea executed terribly
I've got to say this movie is a guilty pleasure of mine I believe the reason they cloned ripley was because she had the queen chestburster inside of her at the end of alien 3
Yeah, it's a film with some good ideas poorly executed.
I'd still say it's better than Alien3 tho. I'd rather have a stupid romp than a dull, needlessly depressing endurance test.
^THIS^. It may not be perfect, but some things are quite interesting. I've always liked the concept of having to try again and again because all the DNA material was fucked up and mixed.
Gundam Alex stop
If Resurrection is such a terrible movie, I guess that makes this the Resurrection of Chris Stuckmann reviews...
You just rant about how you don't like anything in the movie with barely ever giving any explanation as to why. If you play a clip and follow it up with a blank stare and "I have no words", why even bother?
So I have been watching reviews by Chris non stop and have agreed whole heartedly with basically all of them. This was bound to happen at some point. But at least 50% of his critique is built around a concept he missed. Which is Ripley was cloned because of the alien inside her. She is genetically part alien. This explains everything about her behavior being so different and why the scientists chose her. I am not saying this film is perfect it was definitely a left field move to get Jeunet to direct. But I also think it is deceptive of Chris to call him "the director of Amelie" as opposed to "the director of Delicatessen and City of Lost Children". Both of which bear much more resemblance to the style and mood here. If you want to hate this movie that is cool but do it because you think the series shouldn't have been given to such a pulpy over the top black humor French director and it pisses on the legend of the series. I understood clone Ripley was part alien when I watched this as a dumb 15 year old. I see where having the aliens confined could have made them less scary but lets remember this is the future (even relative to the first films) and technology would have progressed. I honestly think the scenes where Brad Dourif taunts the aliens and then their inevitable escape knowing how he has provoked them honestly terrified me as a teenager.
Lol yah and sadly it's like less and less talented people stopped going to Hollywood. I wonder why??
Well now I don't have to type out all that! Also in Aliens she was referred to as a flight officer not a warrent officer, I think.
I think what Chris meant was why did the writers have to go with the Clone idea when they could have gone with a new character and introduce the aliens again another way.
The basket ball scene shows that Ripley has above human perception and co-ordination, she doesn't have to see what she is aiming at just as the Xenomorph has no eyes yet knows where things/people are. It's pointing out she's not completely human.
Fun fact, Sigourney actually nailed that shot, it didn't need to be faked. You can see Ron Perlman's surprise for a fraction of a second.
@@Syberz true there are outtakes where you can see she did it everyone was suprised and laughing.
Nice trick
@@Syberz you are easily deceived
inspired by The Fly (the creature reminded me of it, too. maybe same creators...)
That basketball throw was LEGENDARY
And apparently Sigourney Weaver actually made that shot backwards. No special effects, at least that's what everyone says.
I'll give you that
There was a basketball scene in Avatar with Sigourney Weaver. Did Avatar reference this scene?
Isaac the Worship Warrior Yeah I saw an interview with them where they talk about it. Apparently Ron Pearlman started celebrating immediately after the ball goes through, and almost ruined the shot.
It soo was lol
I forgot Tuco Salemanca was in this! TIGHT! TIGHT! TIGHT!
The reason Ripley is cloned is explained in the movie. It is because she had the queen in her belly. They want the queen. So they cloned her in order to get the queen. When they cloned her they also observed side effects, which is why they kept here alive, as an experiment.
This movie sucks
@@ProtagonisTeneT it's a fun watch, and Ron Perlman is just... Ron Perlman
Sounds stupid.
@@ProtagonisTeneTyeah but I’m still gonna watch it I’m already half an hour in
Ripley coming back can be explained with two words: studio mandate.
Apparently, the original script had no mention of Ripley, but it was rejected for not being fanservicey enough, so Whedon scrapped it and had to write a new one involving Ripley in just a few months.
change the god awful music and take out ripley and it would have been a better film
I don't leave many comments here on CZcams. Nor do I bash or bully people who go out of their way to make free content for us to watch.
But this "review" was akin to a child throwing a tantrum. There's zero analytical breakdown, zero mention of any possible redeeming factors this movie has- to name a few: Production Design, Effects both Practical and Computer Generated, Cinematography. You also show an ASTOUNDING lack of comprehension of what this series has ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT: it isn't about Ripley, it's about the Weyland-Yutani Corporation's search for and drive to experiment on what the Engineers created! This was the sole reason for the detour to LV-426 in Alien, why they colonized LV-426 in Aliens, why Bishop II shows up on Fiorina at the end of Alien 3, and the entire reason the Prometheus exploration even occurred! Weyland's plan from Prometheus literally takes nearly or over a full century to come to fruition in Alien: Resurrection. The movie states why Ripley was cloned, it's a bad excuse, but it is there. The entire franchise sets this experimentation into motion. Human/Xeno hybrids, while already a thing in their "natural" form, makes sense.
The comment about the "New Born" looking like a penis shows just how little thought or research you put into this "review". If you go back and read or watch anything about what H.R. Giger did with his designs for Alien, you will UNDERSTAND the design choice here. Facehuggers are literally designed with a vaginal facade, and what is basically an extending stamen (read as penis) to do, as Giger put it "Rape the character's mouth so that women are no longer the only ones who have to fear such an act". The original design for the "New Born", which is shown in the supplemental documentaries, had a MASSIVE vagina between its legs. This creature is basically a Human/Facehugger Hybrid, with a resemblance to both flesh tone, texture and sex organs.
They also explain away Ripley's behavior to note that it is mixed with that of the Xenomorph Queen, who IS a SEXUAL being that cares for its children. You could either argue that Call (WI-NON-AH Ryder) is seen by Ripley as another surrogate child OR a possible mate, since it is revealed by both cast and crew on Alien that Ripley and Lambert (Veronica Cartwright) had a sexual relationship in the script that took place shortly before the movie, but was dropped because it was viewed as distracting from the Alien and the fight for survival.
You did nearly an hour on Alien 3, nearly 40 minutes on Prometheus, and you spent a whopping 9 minutes and 37 seconds barely speaking, making faces, fake laughing and giving absolutely no solid basis or foundation for WHY you and anyone else should HATE (Your word) this movie.
This was, without a doubt, the single WORST review I've seen out of you. It is unprofessional, and is no more than an angry fan screaming, "I hate it because reasons!" The writing is solid, but mishandled by the director's change in physical tone. The characters are NOT transparent clichés, they show a working familial bond and depth throughout the film. This film also shows a WORKING COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING of the Alien Lore in regards to Weyland-Yutani and the Xenomorph while evolving both while taking NOTHING away from it, which is something that you displayed of having very little of, if none at all.
I'm not saying the movie is great, or even good. It has its share of problems. But you neither articulated that beyond a few lines with excuses of "I don't know what happened". Which, you would have understood the production troubles had you bothered to research the movie OR watch the feature length documentary include with the Blu-Ray Anthology set YOU OWN and have had in the background of every single Alien franchise Review. You wasted nearly 2 minutes of time by showing an entire action sequence in full to pose as one if your points against the film.
We've seen you do better on worse movies than this. This was inexcusable as a critic, and even the late Roger Ebert would have written this off as an angry fan mad at the film for not being Aliens again or for not meeting their "expectations" and I'm pretty sure he didn't like this movie either.
Damn
Joshua Elam man I would watch you review a movie after reading that. So true
Great comment! Def more work behind this comment than Stuckmanns review.
"I don't leave many comments, but when I do it's spectacular" - Joshua Elam
Joshua Elam Wow, thank you for this outstanding comment. I learned more from this than Stuckmann's review (or lack thereof).
As ridiculous as Resurrection is, I've always enjoyed it. I don't know why, but for me it's something more than the sum of its bipolar parts.
Daniel Williams Me, me, me also. I loved the swimming scenes and have a thing for Winona.
@@robbiesharp311 I enjoyed the movie, as well. I will say it's far from a great movie, but it was enjoyable. The swimming scene is awesome.
Willis Allen Jr I liked all the characters. I also loved the new "Hell Boy". the monsters were killer.
When I first seen it I wasn’t very happy with it but enjoyed it... guess it grew on me a bit. It is a theatrical cluster fuck though but sometimes I like that 😂
I’m surprised he didn’t show the very weird awkward admiral of the ship who took a look at his own brain matter before dying 😂 and when he braced for the remote grenade explosion which he obviously wouldn’t even hear because it was outside the ship... in space 😂 I couldn’t help but laugh.
It’s more of a sci-fi scaromedy with a lot of cringe factor lol. I did like the scene where the alien left a trail of gooey guns for the captain to follow to him. Kinda like a 🖕 from the alien.
Same here. For me it was way better than Alien 3.
I've always loved that chest bursted sequence.
Right? The sign of a good sequel is taking something from the original and elevating it. That scene shows they knew the audience is expecting a chest bursting scene but they used to resolve a plot and character arc. Was it overacted? The guy had a thing coming out of his chest. The people shooting at it just saw a creature burst out of someone's chest. It was the appropriate amount of response.
Unpopular opinion here: i love this movie. LOVE IT
It’s just a campy sequel. I don’t hate it but don’t particularly like it. I wish it was better but it is what it is.
i also love it! miles better than alien 3.
I also loved it. Love the Director.
I liked the underwater scenes with the menacing aliens coming like JAWS for its prey :D. I also liked the ""banter"" between the captured xenomorph and the scientist. Memorable lines: ""Like you haven''t f*cked a robot before"", \ ""How many?"" , ""12."" \ ""an unexpected benefit from the genetic process""
I loved it too.
I gotta say...Chris tucking his drawstrings into his hoodie bothers me far more than I want it to. I'm sorry.
Shit, I had the exact opposite reaction. I noticed he did it and thought "hey, someone else who does it! Yay!" :'(
Trucktub GAMES I thought the same thing
chris tuckman
Chris is for sure the type of guy to tuck his hoodie drawstrings, the same type of guy that has braces at age 30
now that you brought this up, yeah it pisses me off too. RWARGH! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Guilty pleasure for me!!! Saw it in theaters when I was 15 and loved it ever since.
Same here. I remember my friend and I where the only ones in the theater because everyone else was in the big screens watching Titanic for the 3rd time :P
same here!
It's a good movie as is Alien 3. Some people just get butt hurt and hate on them because they're not tailor made to their expectations.
I remember the 40 min drive home to the middle of nowhere Canada in the woods and thinking to my self "Oh shit, no way i'm sleeping tonight"!
Same here. I normally agree with Chris, but not with this one. It’s an OK alien movie, not excellent like the first two, but not as bad as he suggests.
I have to say Alien Resurrection is a guilty pleasure of mine, precisely because I don't - and sometimes can't - take it as seriously as I did the first 3 installments of the quadrilogy. It's entertaining, downright ridiculous at times, and just a spectacle, you know? It's fun. Also Ron Perlman.
Winona Ryder looks impossibly cute in this. I think that that’s the only good thing about the movie, looking at her cuteness.
Not gonna lie, but I agree with u
I agree completely. I thought I was the only one.
Simp
Because it's Winona Ryder she's impossibly cute in every movie
the underwater scene is awesome.
brutme06 Yeah. All the people struggling when swimming and the alien glides through the water effortlessly. It really showed how adaptive aliens are, let alone the physical achievement of creating the effect.

Come on Stuckmann, we know you can do better than this. Yes the movie is bad but you can at least explain why and not just stare at the camera blankly after a clip plays.
Euan McKenna Woah, there's more negative reviews in his comment section, lol
Just go watch the movie thats all you need to do..
Well i had the missfortune to see this movie at the cinema... And I did hate it. The year before Batman & Robin happened (in my country Alien premiered in 98)... Those were bad experiences
Hey, he grew up with that camera, lots of childhood memories are linked with it. He's just lost in day dreams.
I thought that scene was kinda cool in a hokey way, then he goes and does that, and I'm like, "what?"
How could you miss why she was cloned ? They used her blood sample from alien 3 cause she was pregnant with the alien queen back then, thus cloning her with the queen embryo still inside her, they tried over and over but miserably failed cause the clones used to fuse with the queen embryo or turn into deformed abominations which are shown in the movie. I can't believe you actually missed all of this ...
I loved the movie. After Alien 3, which I hated, I thought Resurrection was a huge step up. I didn't look at it as an installment in the Alien movies but rather a standalone. I had no expectations and did not try to fit the pieces together or reference previous alien movies. Everything in this movie IS over the top, some of it almost to the point of being unintentionally funny. But thats is probably part of the reason I loved it.
Am i the only one who got genuenly creeped out with the newborn?
Yeah everything about it is so unsettling which is I guess what they were going for
Definitely was creepy for me..
i think it was disgusting and creepy
It’s pretty hilarious ngl
The Newborn Death Is Very Disturbing
Chris you need to re-review this movie.
Your so better than this. We get ya don't like the movie. but that's no reason to put little effort into your review. RIP this movie apart.
I dont know Chris....i thought that Ron Pearlman was pretty good.
This was the first time I've met him. His character was my favorite.
Agreed. Ron was awesome, probably the best, but many were really good. Cartoony? Sure, but what the hell, this is easily the third best Alien movie.
awful acting ...more like part time pantomime... lol
@@Qwufi That was the first time you saw Ron Perlman? Where have you been? Ron Perlman is a veteran character actor. He's been in MANY movies. 'Course, you may have seen him and not realized it was him. Because - he is often under a TON of makeup [ dating all the way back to 'The Name of the Rose' ( 1986, ) up to his playing "Hellboy" in 'Hellboy' ( 2004 ) and 'Hellboy II: The Golden Army' ( 2008, ) and other such roles he's played. ]
@@trondwillyfry8000 Alien,
Aliens, Alien Resurrection?
I really liked the movie. Campy in a comic book way and fun
Had some great practical effects though, gotta give it that.
Jimmy Grey Yes the effects were good.
I actually love this movie. It's stupid as hell but it's so batshit crazy that I'm just completely entertained the whole way through.
Just finished watching it tonight on hbo this fucking shit is hilarious man.
Same.
It shows that men is a more sinister species then the Xenomorph - that's why I love this movie. The sarcasm is hilarious and the special effects were awesome back in 1997.
the half human xeno.. was sorta funny at first but then kinda scary too, i liked the idea and even the way they blended them together
@@Shabbadu wasn't it two directors and one wanted heavy concepts and the other that dry comedy element? it's on a you tube video here somewhere
The basketball scene really makes this film an A+ cmon now chris
an unexpected benefit from the genetic process
Kinda funny, scanning the comments, everyone but Chris "got it".
ColdCrashPictures review on the film. I thought that his review was way more engaging, sophisticated. Calm.
I would also add... recently a lot of your reviews of old movies is 80% re-telling scenes and simply saying "it's great" or "it sucks"
I already noticed that when you did the Harry Potter reviews back last year...Come on that's not a great review. What happened? Your Star Wars reviews (Ep I-VI) were so great. Your Batman & Robin Hilariocity review is for me and my cousin what the Plinkett reviews are for most people. We quote that shit ALL THE TIME. That's how good it is. Just saying.. you can do better in my opinion.
is there a nother way to NOT spoil a movie without saying "its great" or "it sucks" these days?
She is cloned so the military can get the alien queen.
They never really cared about Ripley.
Yeah, they also were just experimenting.
Exactly! In the book wren even wants to pull the plug on Ripley after the queen is extracted. But geddiman asked him to keep Ripley alive for analysis.
This is one of my favorite Aliens movies. I don’t understand what you’re talking about.And the cross breed Alien and human monster was one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen and when it gets sucked out through the glass it was heartbreaking and difficult to watch.
Yeah all i have to say i agree with you and i dont get why so much hate for this movie
It looked like an alien version of an old used candle.
This is a total guilty pleasure & Ripley is smokin in this.
Honest Chris I think you need to do a rain check on this "Hilariocity" series. When it first started out it I loved how you analyzed the movies and picked apart almost every scene to really convince your audience that the is awful. Now it's really just devolved into you doing regular, old, review just like everyone else. If you don't want to improve these videos, you should just end the series.
Dank 420 there was nothing really to pick apart about this movie it spoke for itself that is why he was speechless.
Shabnam Rafique You don't watch a review, because you want to see the host being speechless... That's why you watch reaction videos... Reviews should be more than that... (And saying the badness of the movie speaks for itself? That's just what bias is.)
Yep, and his X-Men Origins Wolverine one was the worst so far.
Emil Fogh I totally agree and those bits where he is just open mouthed and looking at the camera then saying oh I'm speechless really just got boring plus I've always quite liked this movie and also thought the new born was pretty cool too..
This was the first alien movie i saw as a kid and i actually found it very very creepy, even when the plot didnt make much sense to me. The deformed ripley asking to be killed, the alien killing their own to escape, the frozen to death dismemberment of soldiers, Gediman giving himself to the creature and that grotesque death of the newborn. That level of gore, insanity, absurdity, and the inconsistency of the tone you point out kind of elevates the sense of fear that i get from it (which is why I love the films of David Cronenberg btw). Having said so it disappoints me that you can't get over your fanatism of the franchise to try and give it a proper review. Even as hilariocity your review its just plain bad, your arguments are basically: "it doesnt have anything that made the previous movies good" and its "stupid". Not funny Chris.
I had seen the previous Alien films on home video but Resurrection was the first Alien movie I saw in theaters.
The director’s name is Jean Pierre Jeunet and he is SO much more than “the guy who directed Amelie”. He also did fantastic films like The City of Lost Children and Delicatessen, which, much like Alien: Resurrection, are weird, avante-guard-adjacent sci-fi and/or horror stories. His style isn’t for everyone, but Alien: Resurrection is NOT ‘some shitty film he made before he Got Good and did Amelie.’ It’s actually much more in line with the rest of his body of work; intentionally and beautifully strange, not everyone’s cup of tea but very enjoyable to those who like the sub-genre that Jeunet works in.
Only good thing was watching the xenomorphs swim lol loved that part
It is also my favourite part. I think an alien movie done underwater would be great.
Ripley was cloned because her blood sample was taken from the prison Fury planet and within that DNA sample there was the Alien Queen - which is really dumb. But hey, Fox loves their cocaine.
Alien: Resurrection - Hilariocity Review. Erhm what? I have no idea why it would qualify as that. Imo its not nearly as bad as the rest of the hilariocities.
I'll admit it is interesting that the clone Ripley got the traits and strengths of the Xenomorph. In the other films the Xenomorphs got the traits of their hosts, it stands to reason that the Ripley clone would have the traits of the DNA of the alien inside her.
The problem is that they never do anything with it. The biggest thing they do with this concept is show her using her high reflexes with the basketball scene and showing her superior strength by ripping the Face Hugger off of her face by herself in a later scene.
"This movie is an abomination." Mission Accomplished
When I was about 10 years old. This was my favorite Alien movie 🤣 that was before I saw Aliens.
I think the reason Ripley was overly "sexual" was because of her Alien side.
You think that aliens are horny?
Not saying your wrong I just never saw them lying in bed together looking in each others eyes
@@patrickbourne3819 lmao. I think they're more animalistic and according the the original script, Ripley's "grandson" wanted to have sex with her.
The alien is a metaphor of the rape so everything is logic... chris is just a "faquin"
We see it as sexual but she moves her head like a alien and even says she can feel it behind her eyes.
Agreed she has alien queen DNA so she wants to spawn.
Alien Resurrection is not hilariocity material. Now Aliens vs. Predator Requiem on the other hand...
AVP Requiem is definitely Hilariocity material, not this film.
Alien Resurrection is DEFINITELY hilariocity material. If not then I don't know what is.
Definetely AVPR, you could barely see what was going on most of the time, the acting in there made the acting in Resurrection look like Amadeus lol
Thats why I think Chris mixed up his script. He probably wanted to do a hilariocity review of AvP Requiem, and he just went with it.
Except Ripley throwing it down LeBron style. This film isn't that bad, TBH.
Oh come on, that chest burster through the head scene was fucking gold!
You know what, I'll say it. This is my favorite Alien. There's something about the original that nothing can really hold a flame to, but this monstrosity was just so fun. I saw this for the first time between the ages of 10-12 and instantly fell in love. Watch it once or twice a year just for the nostalgia.
You and I are not friends.
brave comment :D but.. i agree! 3 and 4 get too much hate, i save that for what came after..
Why do I love this movie so much? It was probably the first Alien movie I ever saw as a kid, and the visuals and atmosphere seemed so cool. I don't think I can ever dislike this movie despite the fact that cloning someone doesn't magically make whatever "child" was growing inside them appear too. It really does remind me of Firefly a bit with.
this is the only Alien Movie I could watch in a theater. And I honestly liked that movie, it’s a great popcorn movie.
@1:45 "Why did they clone Ripley to be the host?" The answer is because she had the alien queen inside of her, somehow her blood carried the genetic material of the chest-burster that was hanging out in her during 3. Typing that answer out makes it even seem that much dumber. Geez this movie... But yeah, that's why all the Ripley/Alien hybrids that were everywhere: they were cloned from Ripley's "muddy" DNA.
Thank you!
That's not how DNA works. But whatever.
But it isn't dumb. The facehugger changes your Dna to make you a host for an Alien. That's been proven so it makes sense that she would have the Alien Queen inside her
I think the word we're looking for is "retcon". There was no exposition in the first three Alien movies that even alluded to the idea that the alien lifecycle is anything other than a facehugger laying an egg which grows within the host until it has matured and bursts free. So it's "proven" only in the sense that it was established in the same movie that made these dumb decisions. I am a Joss fanboy, but even he is allowed to be fallible at least once. I also got the impression that Sigourney Weaver herself meddled with the script, since she had the idea two movies ago that she wanted Ripley to make love with an alien, which is damn close to what we get in the final scenes of Resurrection.
jmwild1 Well in Alien 3 we do get the runner which is the result of a dog/ox infestated by a facehuger so we can theorize from there that the xeno's rake genetic clues from the host...
Honestly that certain chest bursting double kill scene towards the end had me in stitches. Can't help but add it to the so bad it's good catalogue.
3:50
actually that is not a bad concept.
I guess it may be loosely based on a comic book Aliens: Labirynth, which is awesome, and it treats about aliens beeing in a acaptivity, and their rel;ationship with a mad scientist.
It could be an awesome cameral sf/drama/horror flick.
The goal in cloning Ripley was to get the Alien queen out of her. The Blood they used for that was taken in Alien 3 when she was pregnant with the alien. Come on Chris, pay attention when you watch a movie.
Darkness1984 I don't know why anyone has a hard time understanding why Ripley was cloned
i know, right? it was said in the movie. i don't think chris was paying attention, he did the same with the alien 3 review.
I know right.
I'm sad to see that Chris' latest 'hilariocity' reviews are either only rants (x-men origins) or just regular reviews about bad movies. Where did the fun go? :(
X-Men Origins and Alien Resurrection are anything but "fun." They are insults to their namesakes.
Frigyes Samuel Racz same I'm sad to see that to
they're popcorn flicks, they're not like the former ones in the series. i actually liked XMO and Liev Screiber's performance as Sabretooth, the only really disappointing thing IMHO was what they did to Deadpool. Now that being said, Reynolds was good as Wade Wilson, but Chris & Flickinger barely talked about that Wade, only how bad it was and poked fun at it.
i thought the power rangers one was hilarious honestly
Frigyes Samuel Racz its because of the upcoming movies. I think lately he has been picking predecessor films to link up with new releases. But I agree that the depths of movie cinema should be plunged! Where is my Warriors of Virtue (1997) review! Peace
I love that the "baby" alien guts spilled out the front, just to be sucked out the back... This movie is just "fuck it, just do it" moments
the basketball scene and this scene were both real, actually
@@biggiesmartypants also the ricochet bullet im sure
This is actually my favorite Alien film.
Ranking
1. Resurrection
2. Alien
3. Aliens
4. Alien 3
🐧
No redeeming qualities? Well, Alien Resurrection may not be a good *Alien* film, in fact it's a pretty awful Alien film, but if argue that it's a damn good action comedy film, if not a pretty awesome one. Amazing performances from the cast, enhanced by Whedon's writing (this film is basically a precursor to Firefly). Amazing cinematography, lighting and general art design. Not to mention to great soundtrack that evokes the mood of the old films. Plus the films genuinely funny at times.
It may not be a good Alien film, and it may even be hated for maybe ruining the tone of what came before it, but view it more as a licensed piece of fan fiction, and a bloody good one at that.
They clone her because she had the alien queen embryo in her . And she got her rank back because the company in aliens gave it back to her because she went along with Burke to investigate the colony . (The get back on the horse scene)
The first one may make sense due to alien DNA working differently from Earth DNA, but the second part does not. A clone is a completely different person than the Person their genes were taken from, you and I are also not President just because Trump was voted into office.
Not even identicall twin siblings are automatically gain the same ranks and positions as a set.
@@Kaefer1973 Nobody ever said Ripley 8 is a LT. Giorgio is explaining how Ripley is one in Alien 3.
@@Kaefer1973 also who are you to dictate the cloning rules followed by a facility of a science fiction movie. Why can't a clone have the same identity? They are quite literally the same. Comparing to identical twins doesn't mean anything. Identical twins have different DNA.
@@DarthTerrax Cloning is a real thing, you can't make shit up for that. If it doesn't work like cloning, you have to call it something else, it doesn't matter the genre of the story, It would still be wrong even in a historical drama. Memories and identity have nothing to do with cloning, that's just how cloning works.
Identical Twins originate from exactly the same egg cell and sperm cell. There may still be tiniest genetical differences, but you can find these in clones as well, so for all intents and purposes clones and identical twins are the same genetically.
They could have claimed to have cloned her and for some reason also restored the memories of her original based on the intricate brain scans of the prison colony medical facility, that did include memory scans for some other reason (experiments on prisoners maybe). That would have been feasible since memory transfer is also a real life thing that can be done (as of yet only to mice, and not perfectly), but but cloning and memory transfer are two different things.
@@Kaefer1973 so someone that is the exact same as someone else is not the same. Got it.
3:16 I can't fault you for feeling like this, but from what I remember there actually was an explanation for why Ripley had to be cloned: She had been impregnated by the Queen in the previous movie, so when they cloned her they got the Xenomorph along for the ride. How THAT works I have no idea, but it is...something?
The opening, explaining the pure agony Chris feels about this movie, is genius! 😂😂😂
I'm ashamed to say this.....but I cried when the newborn died.... :(
I didnt it was a nasty piece of work and thought nothing of crushing a mans head with its bare hands.
Aleon38 it was conflicted. Amazing how sympathetic the makers made such a horrible looking thing appear. Quite an accomplishment.
L Kassim lol
It actually was an emotional scene. The creature actually trusted Ripley as a mother and you could see the confusion and fear in it's eyes as it was screaming for her help. I mean the monster might not have been a perfect design but I absolutely loved it when I watched the movie and felt bad for it! Whatever it was, it was still a clueless child you know?
Lololol
This film is my guilty pleasure.
Same here! :-)
I don't feel guilty at all for liking it.
Why Hilariocity? This movie was just fucking awesome!!
Honestly, I probably like Alien: Resurrection more than I like The Avengers! I just watched Avengers for the second time in my life on tv and again I didn´t understand anything! If you like being forced to watch ALL the other movies of this stupid fucking "Marvel Cinematic Universe", fine! I DO NOT! And Alien: Resurrection works perfectly on its own, explains everything you need to know, interesting twists with the Xenomorphs, fun action and over the top performances by Brad Dourif, Sigourney Weaver and Ron Pearlman! I have no idea why anyone can say, he HATES this film!...
billosmal987 Nobody else like this comment. Keep it at 69
0:06 that scene alone took the words right out of my mouth
I actually paid to see this in the theaters, and 26 years later, I’m still pissed off!!
The scene with Ripley killing the disfigured clone-ripley is priceless!
To be honest this one of my favorite bad movies ever. Its just so entertainingly wrong and insane at every direction.
chris92945 Personally I just think its an atrocious pile of trash. There's nothing good about this movie in my opinion, and it should be completely erased from existence.
'member when Chris wasn't afraid to trash a bad film? i 'member
Yeah 👍🏻 ikr 😅 missed the good old Chris Stuckmann and now he just soft on movies these days and who cares for Shelby Oaks I don’t lol bro 😎 and the hell with that film 🎥 too lol 😆
I loved this when I was 8 or 9. I went back and rewatched it.
Needless to say I was embarrassed for a week.
Funny. Judging by your avatar, you aren't easily embarrassed.
@@tamasmihaly1 hahaha
Nothing to be embarrassed about. Just because the movie isn't masterpieces like the two first movies, doesn't mean it is bad. It is entertaining and not as bad as people say.
i always understood that Ripley got cloned not because they wanted Ripley but because they wanted to clone the Allen Queen Ripley was host to in Alien 3. i thought it was pretty clear, with all the failed clones that mixed geans up
it's explained in the movie, well duh
Kinda disappointed with that review. I knew he hates the movie and since I like it more than 3 I wanted to hear his thoughts on it. You can imagine my disappointment when I got this instead of an actual review. No arguments, no discussion, no constructive critique, just some words and saying it's terrible with no reason or real explanation. It's a rare case of Chris not delivering... :/
It's Chris worst video ever.
contrapassose7en
I would say his 3rd worst video. His BvS rewrite video and Rogue One analysis video are worse IMO
Galloglaoch You couldn't have said it any better. was really looking forward to this one but was extremely disappointed
Galloglaoch He could be exhausted from that hour long debate of Alien 3 with Brando?
Galloglaoch But I get what your saying
Ripley was cloned because the xenomorph DNA became part of hers in Alien3. Cloning her from prison blood samples was the only remaining source of xenomorph genetics.
i loved every minute of this movie. I think I liked it for all the wrong reasons, but i loved it.
You are very disturbed my friend: This movies has some great stuff though: underwater scenes, chemistry between the scientist and the captured xenomorph, xenomorph sacrifice behavior, chestburster scene, some cool dialogue at times "'' like you haven't fcked a robot before?"", ""How many?"", ""12"".
I thought the first AVP was ok. But there is no excuse for Requiem.
i hate requiem so much
It's incredibly stupid, but at least it had some good predator/alien action. But yes, fuck requiem
BlueBoxAngel you could find better Predator/Alien action on pornhub
BlueBoxAngel I liked both AVP movies...Requiem is cool because we finally get to see what happens when aliens are unleashed on Earth (and not just in an isolated pyramid like the first AVP)
They're both stupid, trashy popcorn flicks tbh, though I actually prefer Requiem cause like a previous commentor said we get to see xenomorphs clash with human civilisation. Plus the Predator-Xeno was a cool idea and Predator in that movie was a fucking champ. But yeah they are both trash, guilty pleasure type trash, but still trash.
this isn't a hilariocity review...
I disagree. This movie is so bad its hilarious.
+Alex Cooper But since when was the review funny at any point? Hilariocity Reviews of Chris's are suppose to be funny, not just saying "this movie sucks," "this movie is horrible," etc.
Lets talk about his Hilariocity Review on Dragonball: Evolution: he did a good job on making it funny and effort was put into it. It was really fun to watch.
THIS however, it just felt rushed, and nothing funny happens in the review. Chris's forced laugh just made me cringe, and just left me unimpressed.
teddy123 this was just a rant
teddy123 didn't Chris also say that it could be counted if it had shots so horrible that it's hilarious that it exists
*the movie is so horrible in every way that it's hilarious that it exists
Ik he didn't give this movie a rating, but I don't think it takes a detective to figure out what he would rate it.
Chris you forgot to grade it. Now I'll never know what you REALLY think about it.
I don't get it. Did you liked or hated the chest bursting scene? I personally enjoyed it.I was looking forward for this review, being really curious about why do you hate this movie so much, hoping you would offer arguments I can relate to, but except for the repeating "THIS MOVIE IS AN ABOMINATION, I HATE IT, I HATE IT!!!", nothing will stick with me, sadly...
Gabriel Badea same with me dude. I waited for this so long. But all i get is just this ?? Jeremy is better. But sadly he didn't review the older movies... guess my curiosity will keep growing
He hated it, obviously. The only way I can see somebody liking that scene is from a "so bad it's good" perspective.
Riley Jones So because You hated it, anyone liking the scene Has to be because it's so bad that it's good?
...still better logic than the ones explained in the video I guess!
Sorry Chris but I have to seriously disagree with your review! There are reasons behind Ripley being cloned and honestly this film is one of my faves. I usually agree with your reviews but this one wasnt even a review tbh it was more of you saying I don't like this... I don't like that! Come on dude
1. Aliens
2. Alien
3. Alien Resurrection
4. Coneheads
They cloned her because she had a queen. Don't know why they couldn't just clone the queen but they did give a reason, a dumb reason, but a reason.
Chris take this as constructive criticism please. How you can analyze and partly defend Alien 3 for an hour and yet only stare speechless and fake laugh for 10 minutes about Resurrection is really confusing and disappointing. This movie, despite its major flaws, has many fans that don't completely understand the hate. I was hoping you would go into detail about why you despise this one so much and bring an intellectual light to that side of the argument but you really just came across like you haven't watched this movie in 10+ yrs and threw up a quick rant. Love your content man but this video really disappointed me.
I also dont get why people laugh at the Newborn design. Like, I get if they dont like it in the story, but visually its the creepiest creature I've seen probably in any movie. And Ive seen a shit ton of horror movies
Grayve Rose I agree, compared to most of the crap that stands for horror nowadays, this movie is no where's near as bad. Ripley's baby is hideous and acts like a demon spawn, but I cried when it was being sucked away/torn apart out into space, because it's eyes looked human, and it was screaming for it's mom....also, I was suffering from postpartum, and my baby girl was crying at the same time. All the things Chris hated, I loved about this movie. Especially, when they swam over to that one location, and it there was a fucking nursery of those damn things. That scene when they were climbing the ladder, and Ron Perlman hangs upside down to shoot that asshole alien is cool to me. Also, when two of the aliens turns on their brother, so it's blood will burn thru the floor so they can escape, and when Ripley's baby tore the Queen's jaw or head off, were some good scenes.
ブロンディブラック I hate that movie
@Molto ... and in that single comment you have said everything Chris said in his review... thus the 3000 dislikes.
Molto Vomito idk if this was directed at me but it's too light on his usual insightful justification for his criticisms. I like this movie more than most so I wanted to see him break this one down to help me and many other fans of Resurrection better understand the flat out hate this film gets. I totally acknowledge its major flaws but It just seemed like he took the quick, easy, and obvious criticisms and posted the video to get it out of the way. I was hoping to see him dive into this the way he dove into Alien 3 because to me that movie is irredeemable but he completely justified his reasons for liking aspects of it. I'm disappointed all we got in this review is fake laughs and forced humor.
Well, one thing it did have was Winona Ryder at one of her cutest.
I thought she did a good job.
She's HOT AF BRO
The only reason I ever watch it is because she looks so cute in it.
She looks like a 12 year old.
Chris love your reactions................ great.
I thought it was pretty clear the reason they cloned Ripley was to resurrect the queen xenomorph that she was impregnated with in Alien3 (their DNA was mixed in Ripley's blood sample). This explains why there's a bunch of earlier failed clones that didn't get the Ripley/xeno mix right. Heck, even the final Ripley clone wasn't completely perfect because Ripley inherited some xeno abilities, namely improved reflexes and intelligence; and the queen inherited Ripley's ability to give birth to a human/xeno fetus instead of laying eggs.
The basketball scene was actually a brilliant way to showcase her new xeno-reflexes, and her hyper-sexual performance was simply reflective of the xeno’s constant need to reproduce.
Dude, if you find a guy shooting flames out of the neck of an electric guitar so awesome in Mad Max Fury Road, WHY do you find a guy, killing another guy with an alien bursting out of his chest so UN-awesome??? I´m sheer stunned!!.......
Yeah, I thought the chestburster sacrifice was cool too.
ChanCeNecK Because he decided to love Fury Road and decided to hate Ressurrection...

Hilariocity Review-Ception
I just watched this for the first time and it’s genuinely a decent film, way better than the third one, it gave me some deep blue sea vibes mixed with the first resident evil film
I actually watched this movie first when I was young and what got me into the franchise so I thought it was pretty good at the time. It always creeped when the xenomorphs got out and started killing everyone, especially when it got into the escape pod killing the people.
