Alien Resurrection is EPIC compared to AVP:R. It's not just a matter of action.
A:R actually has some thought and imagination behind it. AVP:R is generic, slasher movie crap.
A:R tried to do something different - AVPR was just scene after scene of homages to better movies.
If A:R didn't have aliens in it or Ripley, and was a standalone movie - it would probably be a cult classic like City of Lost Children.
Are you kidding me?! A cult classic? Thats a crock of shit. A:R sure tried something new, a f**king HUMAN ALIEN HYBRID. Honestly, think about that for a sec.
And the plot?! They find some blood and it contains the alien inside her perfectly? The 'we have to get off the ship' is just a shit version of alien. The aliens look far worse in this movie than in AVPR. I mean, they made this movie just to make a buck. Ripley is dead, and some genius has an idea that they'll just reincarnate her. This completely f**ks over the deepness of the ending of Alien 3. There might as well not been an Alien 3 the way A:R just makes it POINTLESS. She kills herself so they won't get it, and guess what, they end up getting it!
Without Weaver this movie has no carry value whatsoever. I mean, the end sequence where that guy grabs the baddie and then forces his chestburster through him is so cheesy and stupid I can barely stand it. The newborn is the worst creation ever made. Oh the gift to the queen was that she can now get preggo and make a stupid ass xenohuman? Think about it. No really, think about how really dumb that idea is.
While AVPR doesn't have a great plot, and the acting is shit, it delivers on action, and doesn't f**k with anything else. The predalien idea of new reproduction is imaginative and something new. The idea for a new alien in alien 3 was almost similar in fashion. Giger would be proud. A:R should never have been made and leaves it where it will die. Now that alien 5 will never happen, we can conclude that the arch of alien ends that Ripley ends up on earth. Except she isn't ripley, shes a f**ked up subhuman with alien traits that likes to be creepy and isn't right in the head.
AVPR didn't add, but at least it didn't negate.
