After the disappointing Alien 3, this fourth film in the franchise represents a marked improvement, but it fails to match the level established in the first two films.

Top Critic Jeunet and Whedon deliver the alien-attack scenes with a spin and a wink.

Alien: Resurrection has more visual flair than any of George Lucas' Star Wars films, and at times is almost as fun.
