After watching Prometheus I was compelled to go back and watch the Alien movies over the last fortnight. I had resisted watching Resurrection since I first saw the trilogy when I was maybe 11 or 12 because everyone had told me it sucked really hard. I decided to give it a shot anyway and god DAMN what a piece of shit film. Seriously Joss Whedon fuck you.

It was shit well before that. On top of the plot making absolutely zero sense (i'm not even going to get started on the plot holes) it just lacked the one thing that makes Alien movies good - that claustrophobic terror. It was just a dumb action film with a dozen bad CGI aliens who go down to a well placed bullet. Unlikeable characters, shitty dialogue, shitty acting... just shit everywhere you look. But yeah even from its already low standard it certainly takes a dive in the last act.

(Director) Jeunet was adamant about the hybrid having genitalia which resembled a mix of both male and female sexes. 20th Century Fox was uncomfortable with this, however, and Jeunet eventually changed his mind, feeling that "even for a Frenchman, it's too much". The genitalia were removed during post-production using digital effects techniques.

I like how Whedon blames everyone but himself for how bad it was:

"It wasn't a question of doing everything differently, although they changed the ending; it was mostly a matter of doing everything wrong. They said the lines...mostly...but they said them all wrong. And they cast it wrong. And they designed it wrong. And they scored it wrong. They did everything wrong that they could possibly do. There's actually a fascinating lesson in filmmaking, because everything that they did reflects back to the script or looks like something from the script, and people assume that, if I hated it, then they’d changed the script...but it wasn’t so much that they’d changed the script; it’s that they just executed it in such a ghastly fashion as to render it almost unwatchable."

Nigga, please.

That was a supremely enthralling read. I want to see the film again, now
