However, there is an undeniable charm to Resurrection and a lot of fun is had seeing all the crazy decisions that were made. It doesn’t help that the film is riddled with dated CGI, typical 90s wide-angle lens led film work, and some dodgy acting as everyone chows down on scenery as though it was an all-you-can-eat buffet. It’s all a little too loose and chaotic for it to work and there are so many moving parts and storylines that drop in and out that it comes across confused. It feels bizarrely out of place and the infamously troubled production essentially forced people to dredge a story from out of nowhere to try and make it work. Despite a killer cast and a respected team behind it, Resurrection fell flat upon release and sent the franchise into hiding for years. The tone is a complete 180 from any of the other films, being an OTT romp of quirky characters who spill one-liners and bombastic, illogical action scenes. Joss Whedon ( The Avengers ) actually wrote Resurrection and it shows. There are fleeting moments of fun found in Requiem, but on the whole it’s a waste of 90 minutes that can be easily skipped. When they do eventually duke it out, it’s shot so terribly you’d swear they did so deliberately.

While the Pred-Alien is a ton of fun and the effects for it are great, the titular monsters are pushed into the background of their own movie and treated as just another set piece. The story is also a bare-bones plot of B-movie beats as you watch the released aliens pick off characters we care little about through choppily edited sequences that are a lot more boring than they should be. The kills throughout are so over the top with CGI blood that they come off as more ridiculous than they do horrifying. The film as a whole is aggressively mean-spirited, featuring victims who generally pose no threat being brutally slaughtered. The cinematography is so dark in places, you might as well watch be watching it with your eyes closed, though you may choose to anyway as even the bits you can make out are hard to stomach. Scraping the bottom of the acid-filled barrel is the awful attempt to let people with no filmmaking experience herald a big budget crossover film. If you don’t agree with the ordering, come at us!
