Why Bother - 3.5 out of 5 (2/1/2001)

Incomprehensibly Bad - 3.75 out of 5 (1/24/2001)
I really wanted to like this movie. I loved Alien and Aliens. Unfortunately, I couldn't. The Characters stunk.
After millions of mindlessly boring alien killings, we finally get to the climax where I couldn't understand one thing. Another thing - This movie has some of the worst profanity I have ever heard in a movie. It starts off with relatively little, but if I had to guess I would say by the end there were 120+ f-words.
To sum it up - only for die hard fans of the series.

On this level, the film works, and visually, the film is an acheivement. It eve
