Holy **** this movie is bad


I remember seeing it years ago and not liking it but watching it again it's just...wow. I don't like Alien 3 but at least that's okay and watchable, this is almost as bad as AvP.

Yeah it's definitely a bad film. It has its moments, but they are few and far between. I loved it when I was a young teenage kid who knew nothing about life and just wanted to see gore. As an adult, this movie is just a bunch of concept scenes and storyboards that have been poorly sewn together. The worst part for me (next to the ridiculous ladder scene) was the demented scientist narrating the birth of the Newborn... No set up for the plot device and no real reason that character could have survived that long. It literally was as if they wrote the script right before they shot it.

I liked some of the things they attempted (like the Newborn) and some of the ideas but the execution was awful.
