Alien baby at the end destroyed the movie


I watched after maybe a decade and that thing at the end still makes me gonna puke. It's awfully made in any way.
The guy who designed it must stop make creature models in movies.

I wouldn't say that the Newborn destroyed the movie. It certainly didn't help the movie, though. Ron Perlman makes Resurrection watchable for me. With fast forwarding.

Thit and thpin!

I agree in a way

it almost feels like they just put something in there that was gross and unappealing for the sake of being able to say "omg, we just upped the level of something!"

it adds nothing, makes the film visually less pleasant to watch, AND makes the film more laughably terrible

she fell through a hole, and was never seen again

This movie was just a bunch of set pieces and plot contrivances poorly strewn together. The storytelling is abysmal. It tries to succeed on visuals alone with action, creature design, and gore. It has some memorable moments, but it's ultimately a slap in the face to Alien and Aliens.

I remember seeing A4 in the theater and the audience HOWLED with derisive laughter at the alien baby.

The movie was so good up to that point.

what? you don't think it is creepy?

Actually it was pretty cool. But they killed it in a stupid way and somewhat anti-climatic. In reality, you can plug the hole with a finger and it won't suck you out. But space facts are too boring for movies.
