Pretty Gritty...and Just Downright Gross
ALIEN: RESURRECTION is just a strange movie. Basically it's a completely unnecessary continuation of the Alien franchise, which started out brilliantly strong and unfortunately sunk to low standards before its closure. Maybe the filmmakers sought to redeem the franchise with this next movie. It doesn't work. Resurrection isn't a horrible movie. If you've come to see aliens kill people and Sigourney Weaver fire some massive blowtorches, then you surely won't be disappointed. However, this Alien movie lacks what the first two had a lot of: spirit. These movies have always been gross, don't get me wrong. But while the first one was cinematically brilliant, the second carried strong characters and plot, and the third was (again disappointingly) cynical yet thought-provoking, this one is just plain disgusting. There is absolutely no reason for you to let any kid or teen see this movie. The bloody atrocities committed by aliens and humans alike transcend description. It's almost like we're watching Saw in space. People's heads are crushed, split in two, skulls are pulverized, intestines are eaten, blood is sprayed, aliens are ripped apart inch by inch (with accompanying entrails), and one guy is blown apart (quite gorily) after being frozen in liquid nitrogen. The camera doesn't blink for one second. The previous Alien movies (yes, even the third) used a certain class when approaching violence; yes, it was graphic, but it wasn't just violence for violence's sake. This one is just gore porn. I'm typically not a squeamish person, but it made me want to vomit. Plus, there's pretty much every vulgarity in the book, used in every which way (including in a sexual context). Two words can sum up this movie and its content: completely unnecessary.

Nothing but gore and guts
While I even like the often hated-upon Alien3,I don't really care much for the fourth and last installment in the series, Alien: Resurrection. This time, the one strong character that kept everything from completely going crazy has gone crazy herself. Ripley is now a clone in a long line of previous clones, and is practically nothing but a savage freak of nature (not to flattering for Sigourney Weaver when you think about it). This last installment is also the most disturbing, gruesome and brutal in terms for violence. The profanity is toned down a lot more than the previous installment, but the violence is not. Also, the ending scene where that one last alien is pulled through that one window in the space ship is probably on of the goriest death scenes for a creature that I have ever scene in a movie

Violent and gross. The Alien series has never been one that I particularly like and this addition did nothing to help that.

Not bad at all
Better than part 3. This film was so suspenseful, but it was the story that sucked.

Overbloody.
I don't know where to start on how gory this is...how about the most disgusting death in the whole movie: The headburster. To this day, I have never understood why that was put in the movie. But it was so insanly bloody, I haven't seen this for years, and the moment still haunts me.

I can't put it in words how gory this movie is.
Its pretty sad to see such a great franchise(third movie not included) end up here. Whatever sickminded freak made this train wreck needs to know this movie is down right gross, even worse than the third movie. There is no reason for parent to let there kid see this movie. Charecters crushed (and theres brain shown), guts are ripped out, get torn apart, shot, cremated, gallons of blood spraying everywhere. The first two were the best and yes had violence, but it wasn't just violence for entertainments sake! theres no word that I can say for how much gore this film uses so i agree with Tsion on this one. My dad let me watch this when I was 8, and I had nightmares for 2 years. Don't watch this movie!!!!!!!!!

Another sequel. Not good not bad. NC-17 levels of violence.
The violence is pretty extreme. While the first 3 parts are not that strong, part 4 is very gory, graphic and has lengthy violent scenes. The strong bloody scenes are the following: -An Alien attacks a man from behind. We do not see the Alien penetrating him, but the man puts his hand at the back of his head and pulls out a bit of bloody brain. -A man gets a part of his head bitten off (very gory). -A man has an Alien is his stomach. He then presses a man's head against his stomach in order to make the Alien burst through it. Graphic and bloody. -A man's head is crushed by the Alien. Bloody. -The Alien attacks several people like in the first three parts. Some language is present. I handled the movie watching it as a 15 year old, but the violence is that strong it most likely will disturb some viewers at that age. Suitable for viewers 16 and up.
