Alien: Resurrection (1997) is a science fiction / thriller film directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. It opened on November 26, 1997. It is the fourth in the Alien series of films.
PlotSpoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The events of Alien: Resurrection take place two centuries after the events of Alien³. Ellen Ripley has been cloned on the outer space military science vessel Auriga using "blood samples from 'Fiori 16', on ice" so that the United Systems Military can extract the alien queen embryo that she was impregnated with preceding her death in Alien³. After successful extraction of the queen embryo, the scientists decide to keep the Ripley clone alive for further study. They raise the alien queen to adult size and collect its eggs for further use. As a result of the cloning process, where Ripley's DNA was mixed with the alien's, she has developed several new abilities including enhanced strength and reflexes, acidic blood, and an empathic link with the aliens.
As the group makes their way through the damaged ship several of them are killed off by the aliens. Call is revealed to be an android after Wren betrays the group. Using her abilities to interface with the damaged ship's systems they set it on a collision course with Earth, hoping that the remaining aliens will be destroyed in the crash. The alien queen has also gained an ability from Ripley's DNA; she can now give birth to live offspring directly without the need for eggs and human hosts. The resulting offspring, which appears more humanoid, recognizes Ripley as its "mother" and kills the alien queen. Ripley and the surviving mercenaries arrive at the Betty, and as they prepare to launch the human/alien hybrid attacks Ripley and Call. Ripley kills it by using her own acidic blood to burn a hole through a viewing pane, causing the creature to be sucked through the small hole and into the vacuum of space. The survivors escape in the Betty as the Auriga crashes through the atmosphere and down towards Earth. Spoilers end here.
ResponsesDespite positive reviews for Sigourney Weaver's and Winona Ryder's performance, the film is considered the least successful in the series, having been lukewarmly received by critics.[1] It grossed $47.8 million at the U.S. box office and a total of $161.3 million worldwide. However, Winona Ryder won the Blockbuster Entertainment Award for her role in the film. [1] Controversies
There was also controversy surrounding proper credit for the alien design. H.R. Giger, the artist famous for creating the original alien design, was openly displeased that Aliens[3] did not give him a credit for this and sent letters to the studio complaining about this fact. Alternate version
In the 2003 Alien Quadrilogy DVD box set, Jeunet included an alternative version of the film with alternate opening and closing scenes, references to the character Newt from Aliens and extended dialogue between Call and Ripley's clone in the chapel scene. In the introduction on the DVD released in 2003, he claims that the additional cut was put there for fun, and that he classes the theatrical version as his director's cut. References
