But the fusion of alien and human DNA has suprising results...suprising everyone, including the Alien queen. | ||||||||||||||||||

| If there ever was an argument that things happen in threes, it's this, the fourth in the series of Alien. This is the most aggressively dystopian of the series, and the most scientifically paranoid. It's also the most openenly grotesque. Whereas H.R. Gigers alien designs were celebrated in the previous three, this film most dramatically relies on, gor lack of a better word, goop, to get the point across that things are disturbing. Striving to find something unique and interesting about this film, I came up with the thought that in the previous three, Ripley most supress her humanity and her human fear, in order to survive, in this film, she most finally reassert her humanity, which has been genetically altered ironically. Ripley exists in this film, not as Ellen Ripley, dead woman, but as Ellen Ripley, experiment, half human, half alien. It's also ironic that at her toughest and most viscious, Ripley has finally become dull. |
