A:R for me fails the most with too much cartoonish characters. At the very least, they never dial the cartoon aspect back. I used to like Perlman's character, but he just bored me to tears now. The General is the worst thing in the entire series for me.
Vriess was sooooooo......SpongeBob. Just a lot of constant noise. He has some moments though. Christie is just ridiculous.
Gediman and whatever the lead scientists name were mustache twirling villains. Well, Gediman not so much. Just unearned insanity plot wise. I get what they were trying to to show, but I had to fill in the gaps myself.
It's a watchable film....somewhat.
It does have some stellar moments with the brief depth we get in the clone room and the action movie goodness in the initial part of the water scene. Other than that, it's a silly film that happens to have "aliens".
I don't think the xenos look very good, but the newborn practical was great, even if the design is
